but it is clear to lis that his purposes
are lofty and that his aims are high.
He is n man Of deeds; he has striven
for what is best; he has shown n great
generosity and proved his staUnch Re
publicanism In laboring for the national
cause, even TO the sacrifice of his own
personal interests. His defeat, rs we
look at it, would mean a blow at the
best ideals of American politics and
would have to say to every man
struggling for tho right in public life
that safety and success are TO be found
in low aims and subseTyIcncy TO selfish
interests, and that the reward for

thrown Mr.. Hearst, whose creation he
was overheard, and has now sworn
fcalty to Mr.. tonncrs and Mr.. Murphy.

been righteous, but it was hardly CRATE

we know that thousands of hon

They all know where Gov. Hughes
stands. lie misleads no man. The
country admires him. He is able and

young man who merely deals in gen
erahties, which do not even glitter, and
who has no record TO give assurance Of
his future?
