WHAT WOULD DENVER DO.

It viii be noticed that Admiral Dewey
If reported interviews with him are
correct does not say that he would not
take a presidential nomination. Neither
does he enIfghten the public as to his
political Affiliations, if he has any.
Shortly after he arrived at New York
1t was suggested to the admiral that
the Democratic slate had been settled
with Admiral Dewey for the presi-
dency and General Wheeler for the
vice presidency
Well" said the admiral, I'VE should
make a pretty mess of it. General
Wheeler, of course. has had some train
ing in the political school, but then he
is a West Pointer. had forgotten that.
He would run everything as he would
a regiment. and of course. would make
a splendid mess Of it. You can not
run a government as you would a regi-
ment."
We'll, admiral" suggested the re-
porter, 1T would not be such a change
from the ship Olympia to the ship of
state
Yes" said the admiral, cit would be
a very great change. I am not a politi-
clan. am a sailor; my training has
been all that way. I am at home on
board my ship. I know my business. OF
want TO mix up in the affairs of the
government I am perfectly satisfied
10 live and die a simple sailor, who
tried to DO his duty I am not a politi-
cian- I can not make a speech even.
I wish I could, but I have to be content
with my lot"
Some one said just then to the ad-
miral that his son was reported to have
made statement to the effect that his
father was a dyed-in-the-wooI Republi-
can
The admiral laughed outright and
turning around, pointed to a piece of
wood lying on the deck some yards
away. at the same time saying:
Ny son knows as much about what
my politics is as that piece of stick
The admiral in that conversation left
Just enough unsaid to cause politicians
