Ithat today Admiral Dewey, the

be nominated, and if nominated.

political plunge willjgoja long way
toward destroying him 'in the esti

selves into office, must be discourag

Four years of 'McKinley prosperity
and two years of eflioient republican
office . holding in the county has
knocked the props from under the
