Dewey's own officers tried the experiment
of making . hero Of tho admiral. but IL
was not much Of success. He generally
kissed them Oh. Twice when efforts were
made 10 get him to make q speech. he
stsrniy ordered Lieut.. Ton, Brumby. his
nag officer. 10 speak for him, ana then
laughed Mt Brumhy's oratoricai efforts. He
repeatedly discussed his homo coming with
the writer. and every time the subject was
mentioned ~ said ne dreaded the ordeal
at public receptions and elaborate dinnera
There II nothing snobhAsh about him: ne
simply doesn't like that sort OF thing. He
saya In quiet way that he didn't do mucA
astsr all. that II was Simply In the line OF
his duty. and that the American people
have exaggerated the Importance of the
thing. He honestly believes what he says
and Il for living UP 70 H. Life
- going to BE- burden to the
admiral when he gets home. for he can
probably never again enjoy the privilege
at walk in any American city or any
sort OF privacy. for whenever he appears
he viii be simply mostbed BY admirers. And
the morp dffndent the admiral becomes the
moro mcdesty be- shows. and the longer
he keeps put Of tho magazines the wilder
grows the enthusiasm for him. He Is TN
decd the real thing.
TlOM REED may come home from
- Europe and give lot OF politicians
heart failure by holding on 10 his seat in
congress and again becoming q candidate
fer the high office OF speaker. II IL true
that Reed was offered $50, 900 4 year 10
como TO New York and practice law, ana
equally true that hts prospective part
ners rave out positive statement that
no had accepted the offer. II II equally
true that Thomas Bracket never either
denied affirmed tn. story and has
never made q single statement publicly
IN connection with the matter. Every
body believed the story, however, and
there was an immediate crop OF eands-
dates for the speakershsp. Now IT II said
that Reed may not retire and the an
nouneemenf has set several persons Esa~ss-
ing. Even the administration Believed the
flrst story, and II II proves untrue. there
will be some slate writing 10 rub OUT
