The FUTURE OF HUGHES
By Forsaking His Principles He
Can Satisfy His Political
Ambitions Senate and
Presidency Possible.

Hughes is concerned. Whatever he
receives at the hands Of the Republic
an party in future he must be in po-
Eition to demand. He has lost strength
among the voters. He has been SUBJ
jected to series of important defeats
in the last New York legislature The
psychology of defeat is no uncertain
quantity. The public demands a 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
that gripped the public as did the race
track issue. By forcing the anti-racing
bills on the statute books he aroused
enthusiasm among large percentage
of citizens not only in his state, but
throughout the country, who saw in
him man who dared to fight high
power and who could win against
heavy odds. His chief issue this year
was that the present mode Of naming
candidates in New York state should
be revolutionized. He argued that po-
litical bosses controlled nominations
for Office, even though they could not
necessarily control elections. He rec
commended direct nominations or
primary reform bill and had introduced
in both houses Of the legislature a
measure on this subject which was
largely his handiwork. He depended
on public opinion and support to force
the passage Of this bill the so called
Hinman-Green bilD through the legis.
lature. He went before the citizens of
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1909-05-12

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 a 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
quently 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
President Jacob Gould Schurman of
Cornell university and President Mich
olas Murray Butler of Columbia uni
versity. Ex-Mayor Seth Low of New
York city. himself leading supporter
Of the governors direct nominations
bill, stated in Albany before a joint
session of the senate and assembly
judiciary committees: Il do not be-
lieve this bill should be enacted this
year, as it would prevent fusion in the

How His Strength With the
People Has Decreased The
Defeat Of His Policies
by State Leaders.
BY FREDERICK r. TOOMBs.

EDITORS NOTE.-Mr. Toombs Is
member of the New York legislature and
has supported the governor in all of his
fights except on the Hinman-Green direct
primary bill. The fact then, that Mr..
Toombs sees 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
the deciding factors Of the campaign.
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 e. 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 it mans principles are Of
ten 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
political career Of bright promise.
Governor Hughes came out of the
