DswaY A CANDIDATE.

Re Fas no Policy to Announce, but Be.

Fsppy Unless he is President His
Candidacy Generally Regarded ae the
Joke of the Season
WASHINGTON, April 5.-Admiral
Dewey Is wiling to become acandidate
for the nomination for the Presidency,
and has made a definite announcement
OF this fact He declines al the same
time to express his views on any sub
j CT of political interest on significance.
IN fact, he is apparently in q mood to
receive %overtures. and is waiting to see
how the people receive the statement
of his willingness to accept at their
hands the Presidency of the United
States.
Until Admiral Dewey akcertains the
temper of the American people in re-
gard to bis candidacy, he intends to
maintain absolute silence in regard to
his party smriations or his views on
political questions.
Il have very decided opinions on
matters OF public moment" he said,
''but I am not prepared to announce
them at the present time. / hove been
reading the newspapers constantly and
have received thousands of letters
from all parts OF The country, and have
formed very strong opinions on a NUN
Ger Of matters in which the public lie
interested d. but / do not think il would
be wise for me to announce them at
present. Candidates for the Presi-
dency do not make platforms"
Admiral Dawey's position in regard
TO the Presidency is an independent
one, in that he said this morning be
would have no 'polIcy" to execute il
he were elected. To my mind, he laid,
the flee of the President az contem
plssedAby the Constitution, is wholly
executive. IL ia not my idea that the
President should dictate 90 Congress,
out on the contrary, I believe he enould
execute the laws which Congress en-
sCEs, faithfully and without fear Oh
pr JUDGE. remember the denuncia
zion which once followed the announce
ment by q President of the United
states of my policy"
