been Hughes opponent in the race for
governor and had attacked him in
many ways, constantly referring to
him as an animated feather duster'
Yet Hughes recommended the pass

was a Baptist preacher in Glens
Falls, N. Y, and there is something
of the Baptist preacher and much OF
the Baptist layman in the governor
today. A leaflet scattered about the
legislature during the fight on
the anti-race track gambling bills,
said of him:
He is a preacher among politi-
clans; a politician among preachers
He is the employment of system.
He habitually looks before he leaps,
and usually carefully measures the
space and carefully estimates his
leaping capacity in advance.
Much fun has been made of his
conscience in comic papers and pub
lie speeches. 1t is no myth, either
The thing about Hughes that worries
the politicians most of all is his pla-

cidity. He consults his conscience
on every move and does what will
satisfy it and then no matter what
happens, he can say to himself:
81 have done the right thing. If
others fail cannot be blamed for
their failure. l have done my duty.
Hughes studied hard as a boy in
school and has never stopped. He is
now forty-six years old and in his
mind are stored away the results of
almost that many years study, for he
began to read almost as soon as he
began to talk.
But there is another side to the
mantle side that usually is not seen
by the public. He has all the human
emotions in a strong degree, but he
has learned to control them and keep
them in the background. No man is
better company at dinner and no
man enters more enthusiastically in
to the spirit of joke or an evening
of pleasure, when the evening has
been set aside for that purpose.
At dinners such as the amen Cor
ner" annual affair in New York, or
the dinner of the Legislative Cores
pondents' Association at Albany, both
of which are patterned after the
Gridiron dinners in Washington, he
enjoys all the fun that is poked at
him and laughs loudest of all. He
seems to revel in recreation of this
sort, and the reason probably lies in
the fact that he usually keeps his
mind hard at serious work.
The very fact that he is unpopular
with the politicians who have ruled
New York so long has given Hughes
much support-a support of a kind
that surprised everybody. 1t came
from men who usually are not heard
from in public matters.
No man doubts his sincerity. No
one has charged him with inordinate

Albany, N. Y, June 9.-Charles
Evans Hughes is probably less OF a
politician than any other man in pol,
itics.
Politicians say he is an accident,
the unnatural result of extraordinary
circumstances. His admirers say he
is the prophet of new era in the po-
litical world Every one who has
been associated with him closely is
certain of one fact: He is man of
outstading individuality.
As governor of New York he has
given the state an administration that
is absolutely unique. 1t has not been
wholly successful in the matter of ac-
complishment. He has worked alone,
except for the aid of those who raj
lied to his assistance of their own ac-
cord. He never asks the aid of any
man.
Old timers at Albany, who admire
the governor for his stand on all
moral questions and who believe in
most of his doctrines of right living
say:
He is a great governor. He has
given the state an administration on
a high plane. But Odell and Roose-
welt did more for the people after all.
They made the politicians do what
they wanted them to do. They laid
down the law to the legislature and
the legislature usually obeyed 1t is
true that the preachers of the state
did not agree with everything they

Chicago. Aug. THE wheat market
was a rather nervous affair within
modest limits prior to the issuing of
the government report. Off1cial figures
showed a loss of points in the condi-
ton of spring wheat, indicating a crop
of 24S,OO0,O00. This report. however.
does not represent present conditions,
which are unquestionably lower. as
the crop has been going backward for
the last ten days, or since the figures
for this report were gathered. The
winter wheat yield is estimated at 14.3
bushels to the acre, amounting to 426.-

The total crop, according to the
August report, is little short of last

pessimistic. There is comparatiyelv
little damage from black rust in south
Dakota, excepting in the late fields.
