Admiral Dewey has said again,

that lie is not, and never will be, a
candidate for the presidency. He
dwells upon the fact that the career
of a naval officer can not be that of a
politician, and that he must be con

evidenced along the line pursued
throughout his life.

Dewey has been compelled to recon

several cities anxious to give him a
welcome.
The strain of going into
politics as a presidential candidate
would be far greater. It is clear
that the admiral is not to be caught
by the arts of selfish politicians who
would use his great name for their
own purposes. Globe-Democrat.
