senal prestige Governor Hughes will have these
troubles in an extreme degree, but there are, ON
the other hand, compensations. He is remark
ably fortunate in the possession of unusual
measure of public confidence. He has pleasing
personality, a keen insight into public opinion
and an ability to touch the popular imagination
He takes over a well managed state govern
ment Governor Higgins has done much along
the lines of progress TO which Mr.. Hughes is
committed He lacked the capacity to advertise
and he had not the temperament for popular
leadership, but no man ever sat in the Cover
nor'S chair whose every action was more sin
cerely governed by his ideas Of public duty, and
throughout his whole term his powers were eff
fectively used for the accomplishment of re-
forms. He has rendered faithful service which
has not been less valuable to the people because
1t has not been sensational and has often failed
to secure for him the personal credit for what
he really accomplished. He leaves to Mr.
Hughes a state government in a sound financial
condition, with the social, business and pOlit-
ical reforms demanded by the moral awakening
of the people we'll begun. Governor Hughes has
much to DO. but he can start hopefully upon his
task, for he has sound foundation to build
