Says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat
'In several very important respects
Dewey resembles Grant. He is origi,
nal and audacIous. Nobody ever heard
him grumblng about any inadeQuacy
of means at his command or the
character Of the task to which he is
assigned. He does his work promptly
and cheerfully with the forces at his
disposal. He does it so thoroughly
that it will never have to be done
over again by him or anybody else.
Dewey will, in history, have the
primacy among the fighters of the
Spanish war which Grant had among
those of the war of secession. The
contest for second and third place
among the great personalities of the
war of 1898 may be keen, but the first
place belongs to Dewey"

shall require more than that in the
Philippines.

it will be SO thoroughly Americanized
