McLean, brother-in-law of Admiral George Dewey, speaking of the transfer of the Dewey house, said: "It was simply an act of courtesy which the admir il thought would be agreeable to Mrs. Dewey, and which would delight both him and his son.

It is an insidious attack upon a representative American man by hidden political foes. I believe that the attack started so insidiously will
