A BREEZY STYLE.
GENERAL DAWES’ COMMENTS NEW YORK, Aug. 28. General Dawes, the Republican candidate for the Vice-Presidency, reached New York this morning from Chicago, and had a lively twenty minutes with the newspaper photographers and reporters, whom he brushed aside with many, novel expletives, refusing to be interviewed or snapshotted. Furiously puffing a pipe and striding up and down the platform, General Dawes said he would be “double-damned” if he would be interviewed, and heatedly declined to indulge in the promiscuous hand-shaking expected of a prominent politician. He consigned th© motionpicture photographers to hell, and said it was bad enough to be running for the Vice-Presidency without having to make himself ridiculous by posing as a cinema actor. His campaign managers protested that he must conform to the practices of a politician appealing for votes, but General Dawes, interlarding his remarks with a few “Hell and Marias,” said he would either be himself or withdraw from the “darned campaign.”
