WELCOME IN NATIVE STATE
Senator Proctor Says Admiral viii,
90 There as Soon as He
Gels Settled.

NEW YORK. Sept Ex-senator Red
field Proctor. OF Vermont, is here to
greet Admiral Dewey. The senator said
that as soon as Dewey had been prop
eriy received here ana had gone to
Washington and performed his duties
there and had got somwhat settled,
Vermont expected him to come there
and get a welcome from his home state.
I'm the letter have received from
Admiral Dewey" said the senator yes
terday, "he has always expressed him
self as most anxious to get back to
Vermont. He loves the state and we
would give him royal welcome. We
don't know just when he will come
but he can have all he wants when he
does come"
Senator Proctor was asked about the
reports that Dewey might be a candI-
date Tor the presidential nomination.
That is" said the senator In reply, "a
question he must answer for himself.
In all my correspondence with him
politics has only been touched upon in
general way and I cannot speak for
him. Some time ago had a talk with
his brothe-, Charles Dewey, and asked
him whether his brother was a demo-
crat or a republican. He said then that
he never knew OF the admiral to come
home to vote but at one election and
that he was Of the impression that he
voted the republican ticket then.
I'VE have no actual contest in Yer
mont in a political election. You see
our stare election comes a short time
ahead Of the national election. We
make some effort to get the vote for
the state election and this tells how
the other elections probably will go. AS
there is no contest and everything is
50 overwhelming republican, whatever
way a man votes does not necessarily
determine his political status. 1 be-
lieve Dewey Is a republican and believes
in republican princlples."
