Then jealousy changes them into enemies and a fine feud is soon under way. The night before election a joint debate is to be held in the town hall by the two rival candidates. Mrs. Hooligan and her son, Patsy, dress up as very poor people, and tell Dooligan a hard-luck story with the idea of luring him away from the meeting. But Dooligan is not idle, and he has his boy Jake put a package of sneeze powder, unobserved, into Hooligan's handkerchief just before meeting time. Dooligan is greatly delayed by the supposed "old lady" and little boy, makes a dash for freedom and his hat and coat, and Mrs. Hooligan locks the wardrobe closet door on him. After a long wait, the chairman starts the meeting without Dooligan, and Hooligan starts in with a rush to deliver his harangue. Every few minutes he is interrupted by applause, but dire calamity overtakes him when he uses his handkerchief. The meeting breaks up in hilarious disorder, everyone laughing at the comical grimaces and actions of the sneezing Hooligan, and the upshot of the whole affair is that neither gets elected. Straightwater, the Prohibition candidate, steps into the breach and carries the election by a large majority. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
