SOME OPINIONS OF PUBLIC MEN AND
PAPERS,

Gov smith hs Vermont am in IA
vor of giving Dewey anything he wants.
Worcester Spy-Before spending that
fund of $4,000 to buy Dewey house in
Washington, it would be we'll to ascer-
tain first whether the White House will
not dc.
Portsmouth On. H.) Times-The gen.
eral American inclination to hero wor-
ship can be no more strlkingly evidenced
than in the universally admitted fact
that Admiral Dewey would be over
whelmingly victorious as the candidate
for president next year of either political
party, no matter who his opponent
might be.
O. G. Merriam in n. Y. World-In
1920 the Democratic candidate for
president, James Monroe, was elected by
nearly unanimous vote, there being
but single voice against him in the
electoral college. The party can do bet
ter than that In 1900 il 1t will. If it
dominates Dewey there will be no cleo
toral vote against him, for the reason
I that the whole people will vote to make
him president.
n. M. Osterhout in n. Y. World
The chief duty of the next president
will be to settle our relations with our
|
new possessions. Is there any man in
all this land who knows more about that
problem than George Dewey does? Is
there any man one-half so well fitted by
experience, temperament and expert
knowledge to deal with /. wisely and
we'll?
| At the Dewey reception in New York
Mr.. Seth Low, the eminent independent
Republican, while talking to Gov
Roosevelt and 10 reply to reference of
the latter to the cheering along shore
and the screeching of whistles as the
boat passed mp the river, enthusiastically
exclaimed: "Oh, that is nothing COM

The decision of the Anglo-Venezuelan
boundary arbitration commission, which
was delivered on Tuesday, is much in
the nature of compromise, conceding
some of Great Britain's claims as to ter

conceded when Great Britain consented
