Circumstantial Evidence
A CANimiATK "ANNOUNC'KH"
ON THE morning of April 4. 1000.
the New York World printed
whut hfl) been described us "one
af Uie moat curious announcements
¡af u presidential candidacy ever
made, one of the most naive dec-
larations ever given out by any
man who had even the briefest
,parts In American politics."
| Admiral George Dewey, the "He-
ro of Manila." had given an inter-
!view in which tie said in part: ' If
¡the American people want me tor
¡this high odíce. I shall be only too
willing to serve them Since
!studying tins subject I am con-
vinced Uiat tile office of the Presi-
dent is not such a very difficult
one to rill, his duties being riwunly
to execute Uie laws of Congress.
Should 1 be chosen for this exalted
1 position I wouki execute the 'ows
of Congress a faithfully as I have
always executed the ordirs of my
superior."
"Not siu'h a difL.ult office lo fill,"
'indeed! That wa.\ a Jolt to the hero-
worshiping American public. Al-
ready it had begun to suspect that
its idol had feet of clay It had
gone wild over his victory In the
Philippines. Upon his return lo
America, it gave him the recep-
tion such as few conquering heroes
had It had built a triumphal arch
'in his honor in New York and had
raised money to buy a house in
Washington for him Not long after
his return, he hud taken a second
wife who was much younger than
he was and he had deeded the
gift house to her. That didn't sit
so well with hi worshipers, nor
did the social ambitions of his new
wife. Moreover, a matter of re-
ligious prejudice was injected into
i the gossip about the Deweys.
Dewey had been approached on
the subject of being a candidate
for President and hud disclaimed
any such ambition. But a "Stop
: Bryan!" element in the Democrat-
' 1c party had persisted in promot-
ing his candidacy and at last he
\ yielded to the temptation.
Then he made his amaung an-
nouncement and the public Im-
mediately turned against him.
Where he had been previously
praised, he was now ridiculed. His
I candidacy was generally character-
ized as the "clima* to a series of
unfortunate mistakes " As qu:ck-
ly as that candidacy had blos-
somed. it withered. Amerira ap-
parently would elect a military
hero President, as witness William
Henry Harrison. Zachary Taylor
and Ulysses S. Grant But as for
a naval hero,—tíeo ge Dewey was
the first, and so far. the last, to And

A STURDY CAMPAIGNER

Today, with improved travel ac-

campaigning is not the <irdu< us

It was toward the end of thafl
campaign thut Bryan began to ap

pleted a three-doys" series of
speeches In Chicago. Despite his
splendid physique, the strain began
to tell. He was scheduled to travel
north of Chicago when his "loop"

to delay the start of the party for
more than two hours.
