MAY NOT BE PRESENT
Doubtful if Admiral Dewey Can At
tend Inaugural Ceremonies.
NAVY REPRESENTATION At FHE BALL
The District National Guards Place
in the Parade.
UBCOMMITTEE FORMED

1t was stated today that 1t is very doubt
full if Admiral Dewey's health will permit
of his attendance at the Capitol during the
ceremonies attending the Inauguration of
the President and the Vice President. Ad-
miral Dewey has been confined to his rooms
for some time past, and recently wrote to
Chairman John Joy Edison of the inaugural
committee that it was his intention to take
southern trip as soon as his doctor would
permit the journey.
Admiral Dewey will not attend the in
augural ball in any event, for two highly
important reasons, the first being the re-
cent death of Mrs. Deweys mother, and the
second the admirals i'll health.
In the event that Admiral Dewey cannot
be present at the Capitol ceremonies it IS
probable that Secretary Long will desg-
nate some other officer to represent the
United States navy. Lieut. Gen. Nelson A.
Miles, commanding the army, will repre-
sent the military service. The honor of
the navy will go to the senior
rear admiral available for the purpose.
Aside from Admiral Dewey and Gen.
Miles, the only officers of the army and

Oregon Politics.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

10 the Editor OF The Evening Star:
Having lived in Oregon fifty years, I
can set you right as to the way Senator
elect Mitchell secured eleven democratic
votes. H. w. Corbett and the Oregonian
newspaper, in which he is interested,
managed the last spring primaries; the
friends of Mitchell had no show they put
up an Independent ticket at Portland COM
posed mostly of Independent democrats,
and elected sixteen out of eighteen candi-
dates. When it came to deadlock, eleven
of these democrats very naturally voted
for Mr. Mitchell. to whom they owed their
own election. Their vote will be indorsed
by the great majority Of republicans in
the state, for Mitchell has always been
their most popular man. 1 opposed Mr..
Mitchell for twenty-five years, but when
the people. with intention. elected legis-
lature four years ago instructed to vote
for him for senator, and money was used
to prevent the organization Of the house
as the only way to defeat him. common
honesty made me side with Mitchell. The
election Of Mitchell by a mixed vote will
not discompose, nor decompose, the re-
publican party in Oregon, but will unity
it all over the state, outside of Portland
and If 1t doesn't do 1t there an tnde-
pendent ticket will always hold the pluto
Gratis level, s. A. y.
