! Bryan and believe the Republicans will nom
| mate Mckinley
Representative Brosius of Pennsylvania-If
| Admiral Dewey is serious in his purpose to be-
come a candidate for the Presidency he is max
| ing the mistake of his life It must be
poignant grief to his dearest friends that he is
| even taking the matter into serious considera-
| ton.
Degey's candidacy is not taken seriously by
either republicans or Democrats. 1 regret for
the Admirals sake and reputation that he has
allowed schemlng politicians to his name.
Representative LittIefeld Of Maine-Mr Dew
eys candidacy does not impress matter
or any serious consequence at all
Mr. Cox. of Tennessee am dead out for
Bryan, regardless of Dewey
Mr.. Pierce-I do not think there is any chance
for third candidate. The Democratic party is
soltdly behind William j. Bryan. He represents
It's principles and its hopes Of success. McKin-
ley correspOndingly represents the Republican
party regard Deweys candidacy joke.
Representative Sims. of Tennessee think it's
absurd, and will not be seriously considered By
the country.
Representative Grosvenor, of Ohio-NIy opinion
IS tnat 1t Is the outbreaking Of secret con-
spiracy TO drive Sulzer Off the track.
Representative Henry. Of Connecticut-It
seems to me case Of ambitious woman.
Representative 8 W Smith Of MIchigan-I
was very sorry to hear of his announcement. l
regard 1t as very unwfse in view of his former
declaration.
Representative Lentz OF Ohio. who is among
those spoken of Vice-Presdential candidate
with Bryant believe Mckinley will be norni-
mated at Philadelphia, and far the Demo-
cratic party is concerned, we have already NOM
mated Bryan. and only waiting for the
Fourth of July formally to ratify the nomina-
tiCn
Senator Deboe-Weu we'll we'll! How silly il
Is! II is great mistake on the part Of Dewey.
Senator Cullom-Oh. there is nothing in it.
Dewey has made mistake. 1t is too bad. he
should have kept still. His being an independent
candidate would make no impression on politics.
Representative Bingham, of Pennsylvania said
that he had known Admiral Dewey for years
and had the highest admiration for him, but he
thought the announcement, coming this time,
when public sentiment we'll settled upon the
cision would not be changed was Ill advised AS
tor running as an independent candidate, he
thought the Admiral would find that very un-
comfortable and unsatisfactory.
Representative Campbell, of Montana-I do
not think Admiral Dewey has a ghost OF
chance for the nomination by the convention OF
either party, and an independent candidate
he would not have ghost of chance OF cleo
uon. If he were the candidate of one of the
parties nominated on some principle. he might
make good run. but under the circumstances
there is no sort Of chance for him.
Senator Mason-Hurrah for Dewey!
He would not say whetSer he hurrahed FOR
Admiral Dewey or for President Dewey.
Senator Nelson-I think he made great mis-
nominations are practically made by both par
ties. | am sorry that he out as he did
II he had announced his candidacy five or six
months ago he might have been a possible cam
dfdate. Remember. I say possible candidate
Now it is all practically settled. Mckinley will
De nominated by the Republican party, viii
Mr.. Bryan by the Democratic Convention. So
there is party left for Admiral Dewey unless
he rs taken up by the Populists which I co not
think he expects that party 10 90.
Senator warren-He will not be nominated by
either the Republicans or the Democrats. He
might be nominated Independently; but how can
a man be nominated by party unless he is OF
the party?
Senator P-octor-Fhe announcement OF Ad-
miraI Deweys candidacy much sur
prise to 10 any one. l have had COM
municatiou with him of any kind in regard to
politics The subject has not been referred to
since his statement made when he landed in
this country, that he did not propose 70 be
candidate for any office.
Senator Anen--I have made no statement TO
anybody regarding Admiral Dewey's candidacy.
Every citizen Of the United States who has the
necessary constitutional qualifications is en-
SO desires.
r. J. TracewelI, Controller of the Treasury
and a prominent figure in Indiana politics
What party is going to nominate him? He
cannot get the nomination of either the Demo-
cratic or Republican party. That race is made
up. 1 do not think the country will take his
candidacy seriously, and many of US have
our doubts about what he means.
George E. Roberts Director Of the Mint-Ad-
miral Dewey's true friends deeply regret his
unwise announcement No friend with anv
political sagacity could have advised him. He
has no chance of being nominated by either of
the two great political parties President Nc
Kinley Will be named his own successor by
the Republicans. and Bryan will be nominated
by the Democrats. II Bryan thrown over
by the Democratic Convention he would be
nominated by independent movement and |
poll the bigger half Cf the Democratic vote
Perry 8 Heath. First Assistant Postmaster
General-Even now that Admiral Dewey has
hard for me TO believe, especially after the way [
he expressed himself upon similar proposition /
some months ago, that he really intends TO per /
NIT his name to be used S a candidate for the |
Chief Magtstracy. Looking at the matter from /
any point of view. I cannot how he seriously /
thinks he can win. The Republican party is al !
ready pledged to William Mckinley, and 1 do |
not believe the Democracy would take Dewey up /
