Admiral Dewey has not announ-
ced his plans for the future beyond
limiting that he will continue to
perform his duties at the navy de-
partment until a nomination should
he rendered him. Then he will re.
tire and look after the interests of
his campaign.
EVEN THE WORLD.
New YORK, April 5.-Followlng
are some editorial notices on
Dewey's candidacy for president:
The Sun: when A DIN iral
Dewey last fall said he was not and
would not be candidate for pres
ident the face Of circumstance
favored the continuation of that
state of mind. Then came the
marriage, and the consequent sub
lection of all thoughts, am billions to
another influence. "No one can be
a presidential candidate in truth
who does not first say by which
of the two great parties he desires
to be nominated, or, if neither suits
him what set of principles he be-
lieves In. But anyway as friend
of Admiral Dewey we are sorry
for the episode"
The Tribune: The people woke
up yesterday to find they had
new candidate for president and
when they asked on what ticket he
would run and what principles he
would repre- lent they found it was
case of enc party. No platform.
Just Dewey" Will the delegates
to either Psrty convention begin
bidding for the Dewey popularity
asset? viii they bid against
each other? If neither comes for
ward shall we haye "Just Dewey"
party against them both and would
the conqueror of Manila furnish
to the IN nti-expansionists that much
sought-for escape from the dilem-
ma of the expansionist Mckinley
and free silverite Bryan?
The World: If he is to be a
candidate with any hope of success
it must be as the nominee of the
Democratic party. President
Mckinley is as sure to be renomi.
mated by the Republicans as the
sun is to rise.
But-always the pregnant but
where does Dewey stand? What
is he for? What is he against ?
And most important of all would
Mr.. Bryan, who unquestionably
controls tie situation and will con.
tinue to do so, step aside and in.
duce the democratic party to &C.
cept him" Has not Ad m i r al
Dewey waited too long?
The Times: Admiral Dewey eX.
hibits, in most unusual degree
the attractive quality of simple
openhearted frankness in avowing
his willingness to accept the nomi
nation for the presidency. The
American people will like him al
the better for that. He is the very
embodiment and personification o.
the new era upon which the Unit
ed States has entered.
The Press: The American peo
pie is going about one of the mos
serious pieces of business of it,
career. A candidate who is no
even conscious of this tremendoui
fact is pfnd y sure to discover pain
fully cog1 ~ reasons to reshape hi
conclusion chat the Office of presi
dent is not such very Difficult
one to fill.' Indeed that single sen
terce will we fear give the admiral
and speedily, some reason for re
gret."
The Stats Zeitung; "Accord
ing to his views he does not seen
inclined to accept the program o
either of the great parties, but i
ready to accept the nomination o
either. 1t seems to US that tn
candidacy of Admiral Dewey /
very questionable"
The Journal: at would be mucl
to have a thoroughly honest ant
straightforward president with
will of his own. But there ar
other things to be considered
This is time when the peopl
wanted leaders. When Dewe.
sailed into Manila bay he knew
precisely what he was going to dc
He had policy. Probably he ha
one now-he intimates that he ba
but he has not yet told the pee
pie what it is.
