Hughes Is concerned. Whatever he

sition to demand. He has lost strength
among the voters. He has been sub
jected to series of important defeats
in the last New York legislature. The
psychology of defeat is no uncertain
quantity. The public demands win
ner. 1t demands a winner that keeps
on winning. Cunning tongues are ever
ready to insinuate that the man who
is defeated was not sincere in his cam
paign.
And Hughes had no issue this year

the state with the slogan, 'Down with
the bosses!" But the people refused to
become aroused. While they had
grasped the evils Of betting on horse
races In moment the year before,
they could not comprehend the full
significance Of Governor Hughes ar
guments on direct primaries without
considerable study. Direct primaries
proved an academic issue that re-
quired more time for thought. If it
were to be understood, than the aver
age citizen could afford.
Importance of Newspaper Attitude.
But, still more important, most of the
newspapers in the populous centers
did not feature the news relating to
the direct primary campaign. Thus the
chief means Hughes had of reaching
the great mass of the public lost much
of the usefulness it once had. In fact,
dozens Of newspapers openly condemn
ed his direct primary bill. while others
went further and condemned the very
principle of direct nominations itself.
The support of the New York Times
and the New York Sun had previously
been Of vast aid to the governor. They
circulate among large numbers of in
dependent voters in the city and
state. Their clientele is what should
be termed high class. But during the
last few months these two papers edi-
torially have turned fatty against the
governor on his biggest issues. Conse-
quentiy they weakened his support
among hundreds of Hughes voters.
Men of prominence outside political
fields also attacked the direct nominal
lions bill. Among these men were

tsh light for his political existence.
The stringent nature of certain of
the Hughes reforms have caused some
of the important business interests to
attempt to so to the other extreme
and wipe out all state control over
their affairs. An interesting indica-
ton of this tendency was revealed be-
fore the judiciary committee of the
New York state senate n week before
the legislature adjourned.

by State Leaders.
BY FREDERICK r. TooMBs.

EDITORS NOTE.-Mr. Toombs Is a
member OF the New York legislature and
Gas supported the governor in ali of his
fights except on the Hinman-Green direct
primary bill. The fact. then. that Mr..
Toombs sees a decline in the governors
power is particularly significant Gov
ernor Hughes was the most effective
speaker In the Republican party during
the last campaign. and his work in New
York state and in the west was one of
During his tours many people became in
terested in him and in the problems that
he was trying to solve.l
"HE recent closing of the session
of the New York legislature
brought TO an end what was
probably the most trying ordeal
in the career of Charles Z. Hughes as
governor and at the same time brought
him nearer to point where he must
make a choice between his political
principles and his political career. Not
every man in high political life is COM
PEELED to make this choice. In politics
as outside 1t a mans principles are Of
ten a matter of convenience or of eX-
pediency. Not so has it been with
Governor Hughes. Face to face with
the issue. he must decide whether he
will continue TO fight for the establish
ment and perpetuation of his state
governmental policies. and thus sacri-
fee his political future, or whether he
will compromise with or surrender TO
the Republican organization of his
state, and thus guarantee TO himself
the favor of that organization and a
political career of bright promise.

Is to Senate and Presidency.
Should the governor remain content
with the attitude Of the Legislative
leaders next winter on those impor-
tant questions and drop his direct pri-
mary issue he need have no fear for
his political future. He will be taken
care of" and can certainly go to tho
United States senate when Depew's
term expires In 1911 unless Theodore
Roosevelt returns alive from the Afri-
can 5ungles and desires that office.
The governor can thus also gain the
favor of Henry W. Taft, brother of
President Taft, who represents the
president in many important political
matters In New York state and whose
actual influence politically In New
York Is not realized by the general
public. The presidential nomination
seven years hence. after Taft is re-
nominated. can be within the reach of
the governor If he becomes 'docile."
At that time he will be In his prime,
| fifty-four years old.
And let 1t not be overlooked that
Hughes Is ambitious-politicaIly ambi-
tious. He wants to perpetuate his
| ideals In the constitutional fabric of
his state and his country. He SAYS and
believes that 1--WE are government of
laws and not of men," A man Of ire
mendous constructive ability, of great
| mental activity and Of keen percep-
tive qualities. he has not subscribed to
the political organization doctrine that
we are government of nen and not
| Of laws. He may or may not be a
man without party, because he has
everything but the delegates" But the
fact remains that he can attach to him
self a strong party organization by
! shaping his course to the political
| winds next year.
VIII Governor Hughes choose ca

/, expense of his political principles?
He probably answered this question
, In advance when at the legislative cor
respondents dinner ut Albany in April
he said. True. am dreamer, but l

EccrxRIa e., EX q. pRaMGE

Taft presidential campaign of last fall
with a national reputation as cam
paign orator. Widely spoken of as the
greatest asset Of the Republican party
in the east and reelected by a larger
majority than he received two years
before, in spite of the prejudice GER
tain of his reform measures had
aroused. he entered on his second term
of office with probably the greatest
measure of popularity he had ever en-
joyed. The legislature convened. Gov
ernor Hughes promulgated long re-
form program ON the lines he has
made familiar. The defeat of this pro-
gram is well known. Today how do
we find him? We know that his party
organization is violently opposed to
him and to his methods and measures.
But has he grown stronger with the
people? If he has not gained strength,
has he retained his former strength?
II he has not retained 1t, what portion
or percentage of it has he lost? What
does he want to accomplish for him
self or for his announced princi-
pies?
What does the future hold for him
in politics.?
Would Not "Play Politics"
! AS purely political exposition a
governor who fights the state organiza-
ton Of his party can gain but one of
two things-a victory or compro-
mise. The chances always are that he
will attain neither end. TO gain, either
he must play politics" Hughes has
mot played politics-i. e.. he has not
created political machine through
his powers of appointment and veto.
Therein lies the secret of much Of
what will prove to be his weakness In
the immediate future.
He was renominated for governor
because the Republican leaders. state
and national, feared the loss of votes
that would result from turning down
"a reform governor in presidential
year in what might again prove to be
the pivotal state. But that contingent
tcy cannot occur again, so far as

Corporation Influence.

The attitude Of many of the newspa.
pers In opposing Hughes measures In
New York state. particularly in New
York city, has been caused by corpo-
ration influences. He has regulated
the operations of public service and
allied corporations in a manner not to
their liking. The public service COM
mission has been a spear between the
ribs Of various street railway and rail-
road companies. etc. One New York
city street railway company claims
that it has had to file 1900 reports
with the commission since the board
has been in existence. The Hughes in
surance reform and banking reform
measures have antagonized these in
terests and their powerful allies. such
as fire insurance companies. etc. He
has further attacked telephone and
telegraph companies. All these inter-
ests have influence with political par
ties. and so with the Legislature.
Through the aggressive Hughes pol
icy regarding the interests of the
classes named the governor has arous-
ed antagonism that will prove too
strong for him to successfully combat.
for he has no machine, and his
strength with the voters Is decreasing
through lack of a new appeal Of the
necessary impressive qualities.
