Chairman Jones Talks.
NEW YORK, April IL Afternoon
Service) "A special to the Herald from
Washington says:
Senator Jones of Arkansas, chairman
of the Democratic National Committee
said last night that he had no idea
what Admiral Dewey's intentions were,
or what line of action he would pursue
to obtain presidential nomination.
So far as the National Committee as
a body was concerned, no letter or COM
muniCation had been addressed to the
admiral on the subject of his candi-
dacy. Speaking for himself Sen. Jones
said he had not written to the Ad-
miral inquiring whether he would en-
ter the Kansas City convention and
abide by the result of the convention,
but added:
1T is quite probable, however, that
others are more curious"
1T is quite possible" continued he.
that Admiral Dewey may be suggested
In connection with the presidency.
but | have not the slightest idea that
he will be proposed seriously as a pres
idential candidate. Public sentiment
has already decreed that Mr.. Bryan is
to be the nominee of the regular Demo-
cratic party and in my judgment the
men who will represent the Democratic
party at Kansas City will carry out the
will of the Democratic masses and
name Mr.. Bryan.
SO far as Admiral Dewey is CON
whether he proposes, as a Democrat.
to come to the regular organization and
abide by the consequences, or whether
he and his friends intend to hold an
independent convention similar to that
which named third party ticket four
years ago headed by General Palmer"
Senator Jones then explained that he
was not seriously considering the can
didacy ofAdmiral Dewey because he be-
lieyed 1t to be the result of a movement
originated by certain so-called Demo-
Gratis who did not vote for Mr.. Bryan
four years ago and who have no in
tention of doing so If he is again named
as the party standard bearer He adj
ded that it was not usual for a candi-
date that he proposed to be the candi-
date for any particular party and die
tate policy which is supposed to be
antagonistic to all the principles of the
party from which he seeks support
If" said Senator Jones, admiral
Dewey declared himself to be a Demo-
crat he will receive cordial welcome
into the fold, for the American people
are proud of him for his gallant and
meritorious services in their behalf.
There are other good DEMOCRATS who
rendered valuable service to their coun-
try during the Spanish-American war
and the admiral will not be lonely in
the Democratic ranks.He will probably

result of the convention, whatever it
may be"
