There are two main politicians :
Papy O’Daniel
Holmer Stokes

Their personality :
First, Papy O’Daniel has got a good production of flour for cookies. He prepares his campaign with his son and two other people against Holmer Stokes. He is strange .
Then, Holmer Stokes is the boss of the Ku Klux Klan . He doesn’t like black people . He is protestant . He also prepares his campaign with a dwarf against Papy O’Daniel .

Holmer Stokes makes politics, but not with black people. People don’t know it. Papy O’Daniel makes politics for everybody.

The film shows negative aspects of politicians. This is every man for himself. And these men are strange.
