Tippecanoe

The first weekend in June of every presidential election year The Tippecanoe Party goes to a mountain resort to pick a nominee to run for the office of President. All members have to put their name in or leave the party. There are five hundred and seven members. In the first round all the members put an egg in their pocket and run up a mountain. The first one hundred and forty that make it back with egg unbroken go to the next round. Then there is a tug-of-wag contest. This weans the number down to twenty .

All of this makes a great deal more sense than the way some of the other parties chose a nominee. God bless America.
