How does he stand regarding the courts? There,
| indeed if he is to be taken at his estimate,
| he should be found infexible; independent
| judiciary should be his dearest hope. AS to that
he has had great opportunity, for this is an ex-
ceptional year of judicial elections; ten new jus
| tices of the Supreme Court to be elected in
| the city of New York. How has he used his
new political power concerning them? Why. he
/ has made another bargain with Murphy under
| which Murphy has named six of them and
| Hearst has named fouri
Six justices Of the Supreme Court named by
Charles F. Murphy, the boss of Tammany Hail.
by agreement with William R. Hearst, the SELF
| declared reformer! If he thus delivers the power
over courts to the man whom he declares to
be thief and scoundrel for the sake of getting
votes for the Governorship, what would he, as
Governor, do for the sake of getting votes for
the Presidency?
His own corporate management shows the IN
sincerity of his professions. Not only does ne
conduct his extensive newspaper business
through corporations, but he has established sep
arate corpora tions for separate newspapers. ana
he has established holding corporation to hold
the stock of these separate corporations, and MI;
Hughes has plainly shown that he has juggled
with these different interpretations to escape ms
just share of public taxation ana 10 hlhder anu
defeat the prosecution of just claims against
him.
1t is seldom indeed that a man so young, whose
nublic career has been so brief, small a por-
ton of whose life is known at all to the public.
has furnished such convincing proofs OF his un-
fitness for office.
SOWING SEEDS OF STRIFE AND HATE

great wealth, with MS great newspapers VIZ"
his army of paid agents. for his own seinsn pun

sowing the seeds of dissension and str11e anu
hatred throughout our land; he "oulu array
