Id like to thank Welford for his unsolicited endorsement of my candidacy for Mayor of Mayberry. I think its time I come out of retirement and return to serving the fine citizens of our fair city. Ill only make one stump speech this campaign season and this is it. Ill have no disparaging words for my worthy opponent. Ill simply remind you of the many accomplishments of my previous administration. Youll recall that one of Mayberrys greatest economic development achievements came during my time in office. Thats right, a film crew from Hollywood came right into town and made a movie about us. And youll also remember that it was me who tried to warn everyone about wearing those trick-or-treat outfits. It was under my direction that a group of Mayberrys civic leaders got together and helped turn Frank Meyers house into a real show place. Even Sheriff Taylor admitted that I was the one spreading the paint on thicker than anyone. And finally, it was me who recognized the importance of having a fine deputy like Barney Fife who made it possible for us all to sleep soundly in our beds at night.
Youre all invited to my one campaign event, a pie supper at my headquarters election eve. The evenings entertainment will be provided by a former Miss Mayberry runner-up, my lovely daughter Juanita. Shes promised to sing everyones favorite number, Flow Gently Sweet Afton. Come and enjoy the festivities and share in the fun. Remember, a vote for Pike is a vote for well Pike!
