New York, March 7.-Governor
Charles e. Hughes today received the
endorsement Of the New York repupli-
can state committee as candidate
for the presidential nomination. The
resolutions, adopted by unanimous
vote of the committee. commended
Roosevelt for his rugged determine
/, ton to oppose wrongdoing and in
demanding justice for all, and classed
him with the greatest and most heroic
figures in American history-Wash-
ington, Lincoln, Grant and Mckinley.
Early indications had been that the
meeting would not take up Hughes
candidacy, il: being the view OF some
of the leaders that a committee dec
laration was unwarranted and might
be inopportune. But the plans Were
upset shortly before the committee as
sembled by the announcement by
William H. Douglass, a member of
the committee for the Fifteenth dis
trict, that he would move the adoption
of resolutions endorsing the candidacy
of Hughes for the presidency.
The committee voted to issue the
call for the republican state conven-
ton to be held in Carnegie hall, this
city, on Saturday, April II. Justice
NJ. Linn Bruce was designated to be
temporary chairman of the state con.
vention.
The resolutions follow:
New York holds the proud position
of having given to the nation one of
her illustrious sons, who now occupies
the presidential chair. Few, IL any,
presidents have ever been held in so
high regard by the nation and the
world. He has done a great service
to his country by his rugged determin-
alton to oppose wrongdoing and in de-
manding Justice for all. We tender him,
close, our hearty thanks, and his
close our hearty thinks, and his
name will undoubtedly go down to
posterity as one of the greatest and
most heroic figures in American his
tory, justly linked with that of WASH
ington, Lincoln, Grant and Mckinley.
'"The citizens Of the Empire state
very properly expect that our delegates
to the national republican convention
will present and urge the selection
again Of one of our many worthy sons
for the greatest office in the gift OF
the pepole. The state committee be-
lieves the wisdom of our choice will
undoubtedly commend itself to all
classes of citizens, and to the county
generally. if we earnestly advocate the
selection of the governor of our state,
Hon. Charles E. Hughes, for the pres
idency. He is a man of the Lincoln
type. able, upright, intrepid honest.
fearless in Guty, and devoted to the
peoples best interest. Since he has
been prominently before the public, his
strong individuality has greatly i'm
pressed US all. In all his public ut
terances, he carries conviction by his |
evident sincerity, and the unquestion-
able purity of his motives. In placing
his name before the country as our
standard bearer. we are convinced that
we are presenting another great leader
to the nation, one who will add addi- ,
tional glory to our state, and uphold
the traditions of the republican par
~.
Resolved, That we commend the Sc
lection Of delegates in the various
districts. and of dele

harmony will, the purpose of this res
olution, to the end that the delegation
to the national convention from this
state may present united front in be-
half of our candidate"
