1t is stated that Mrs. Dewey has
left the Catholic church and in the
future will do her worshiping at the
fashionable ST. Johns Episcopal
church. The members of the latter
place OF worship are almost crazy
over the idea of having Mrs. Dewey
in their church. They don't care a
cent what her religious belief is. but
il is no doubt worth a great deal in
4 social way in Washington to belong
to the same church as the Admiral's
vic. The dispatches state this news
was whispered about st. Johns
church Sunday morning and caused
quite 4 stir in the fashionable congre-
CATION. OF course it did, and much
more OF g stir than the presence OF
the lowly Jesus would have created.

Several well known citizens have
already announced themselves as can
didates for certain of the Offices to be
filed at the election tt.is fall. Candi-
dates who get out in the field early
have some advantage over the tardy
ones. and if anybody intends running
for an Office he would be acting wisely
to step to the front and let people
know what he intends doing. The
columns OF the DEMOCRAT are open to
such persons for announcements at
the usual rates.

If Mrs. Dewey will make haste to
let the people know just what church
she will join, she will relieve them OF
much anxiety. The average citizen
don't care three hurrahs in the back
alley what church the lady belongs to.
and it gives him the bolts to see so
much in the papers about her relig-
ious preferences, but of course the
"sassiety" people must be fully in
formed on this point, and until they
are, there will be a commotion in our

1t is not improbable that brother
in-law Mclean has had something to
do with Dewey's entrance into the
presidential arena. Many Democrats
in the east do not view Mr. Bryan
with favor and they have been trying
for some time to settle on a man who
could beat him in the convention.
Mclean and others may believe they
have found this man in Admiral
Dewey.
