H.L. Mencken Quote



 

H.L. Mencken, Born 1880 – Died 1956, was a journalist, satirist & critic. He wrote an editorial, which appeared in the July 26, 1920 edition of the Baltimore Evening Sun, that included the following excerpt:


"As democracy is perfected, the office of President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul 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 occupied by a downright moron."


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