H.L. Nencken ( Born 1990-died 1956) was a journalist, satirist, critic and Democrat.  He wrote the editorial below while working for the Baltimore Evening Sun, which appeared in the July 26, 1920 edition.

 

" AS democracy is perfected, the office of the President represents, more and more closely, the inner sould of the people.  On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron"

 

--H.L. Mencken, the Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26, 1920
