Vincent Trasov's Campaign:
Mr. Peanut for Mayor 1974
In the Vancouver mayoral race of 1974, performance artist Vincent Trasov propelled candidacy of Mr. Peanut, an upper-class anthropomorphic legume representing Planter's Peanuts.
Running on an art-centric platform, Mr. Peanut's vision was spelled out in the acronym: P for Performance, E for Elegance, A for Art, N for Nonsense, U for Uniqueness, and T for Talent.
Wherever he went, a group of young women called the "Peanuttes" would sing "Peanuts from Heaven," based on "Pennies from Heaven," the Depression-era song by Arthur Johnston and Johnny Burke.
Mr. Peanut's platform of sensible proposals included a hiring freeze on government employees until the city's population became larger, and a few that were a little less serious, like a system much like a lending library for galoshes and umbrellas, only needed when it rains. He had a cumbersome slogan: "Life was politics in the last decade; life will be art in the next decade."

Burroughs:
I would like to take this opportunity to endorse the candidacy of Mr. Peanut for mayor of Vancouver. Mr. Peanut is running on the art platform, and art is the creation of illusion. Since the inexorable logic of reality has created nothing but insolvable problems, it is now time for illusion to take over. And there can only be one illogical candidate-Mr. Peanut.
Mr Peanut was ultimately rewarded for his efforts with 2,685 votes, or 3.4% of total votes cast. He lost to incumbent Art Phillips.
