He, more than a!) the "soldier-presidents" j has a personal affection for the pro- 2 fession of arms; he likes to taK 1 figbt; he likes to play with regiments j and naval sqiridrons. No; Lord Northcliffe quite fails w j make his point. Generals who were j generals by circumstance and law- j yers bf choice and profewion, were j chosen to be presidents of the United j States, first, because of their person- j al ability, which they neither trained. nor enhanced in war, and second, be- , cause their civil war service proved , their loyalty to their country and ! helped gel votes for them. That was '; as far as the military idea went in ! their selection. Naturally, returned ; j soldiers voted heavily, for those can-1 jdidates who bad survived the tet of : j battle and had displayed their loyalty i I in the face of temptation to copper- i I head at home. But that the mere ! .fact of soldiership has welched bcav- j Jiily with our people in selecting their! representatives is a mistaken view, ; amply proved by the defeats of fam-' ous generals like Gen. Hancock, Gen. Fremont and Gen. McLelian. Or, if a biter example is desired, the indif ference and opposition which met the Bujrirestion that Admiral Dewey be come a presidential candidate. Who undertakes to prove that the United States is in any way a militar ist nation has a hard row to hoe. Even Abraham Lincoln bore arms for a week or two in the Black Hawk war, but whoever spoke of him as a "soldier-president?"
