Washington April 9 Mrs Dewey released a formal statement with the Admiral’s consent to counter the impression that she pushed his presidential bid.

He favors American control of new territories, independence for the Philippines under protectorate, and free trade for Porto Rico, while arguing the people rather than politicians want him nominated.
