Admiral Dewey announces'tha at
he is q candidate for President,
as he says it does not require
much to be President of the
United States-only to follow
out the directions of Congress.
This is where he is mistaken
with the difficult problems that
confront the American people to-
day it requires a Chief Executive
of ability-a statesman. Why
did he not announce his inten-
tions when he first came home
from the Philippines, instead of
saying that he would not under
any circumstance be candidate?
1t was the intention of the gold
democrats to spring the Admir-
ais name at the last moment and
thereby defeating Mr.. Bryan's
nomination, but Dewey's an
nouncement is not being receiv-
ed by the people as well as they
anticipated. We have not heard
q single person in this section
express themselves in favor of
the great naval hero. It would
appear from what we can read
between the lines that Mrs.
Dewey, who is a great society
lady, is q great factor behind
this movement-that is, she is
more anxious to be the first lady
of the land than the Admiral is
to become President. The hero
of Manila, we believe, has made
a sad mistake by allowing his
scheming friends to drag him
into politics. No man ever re-
ceived greater honors than Ad-
miral Dewey did by the masses
of the people. His great naval
ability does not make him a
statesman, and let him be con-
tent with his grand victory in
Manila harbor, and he will al
ways be endeared by his people,
but for him to enter in the slough
of politics after all his former
declarations on this subject, and
his fair name will be held in less
esteem by his countrymen. His
life study has been on naval af.
fairs and in that capacity our
government will always provide
for him and accept his wise
counsel. 1t seems almost certain
that VIM. ]. Bryan will be the
democratic nominee and VIM.
Mckinley the republican nom.
inee for President, regardless OF
scheming politicians, and the
way seems brighter each day
that that pure statesman and
scholar, William j. Bryan, will
be our next Chief Executive.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-S.F.
Examiner Specialize extra
ordinary confessions of Cover
nor Steunenberg concerning his
views on labor unions made be-
fore the House Military com
mittee, were added today. The
Governor frankly admitted, in
answer to questions put by Rep
resentatives Lentz and Sulzer,
that in his opinion, labor unions
were criminal organizations, and
that labor leaders were criminals.
He said that he had discussed
this phase of the labor question
with General Merriam, and that
the latter conceded with him in
his views. The unlawful man
ner in which he acknowledged
he had ignored the Lieutenant
Governor in favor of the Stand
ard Oil man. Bartlett Sinclair,
was gone over again, and the
Governor said he thought Sin
clair better fitted to deal with
labor troubles.
HE is determined" explained
the Governor, land has no feai
of man or consequences.
