Hughes Is ambitious politically ambi.
tious. He wants to perpetuate his
ideals In tho constitutional fabric Of
his state and his country. He says and
believes that I'VE are government Of
laws ana not Of men," A man Of tre-
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 a government Of men and. not
Of laws. He may or may not be a
man without a party, because he has
everything but the delegates" But the
fact remains that he can attach to him
self strong party organization by
shaping his course to the political
winds next year.
VIII Governor Hughes choose a ca.
reer Of political advancement at the
expense Of his political principles?
He probably answered this question
in advance when at the legislative cor
respondents dinner at Albany in April,
he said, TRUE. am dreamer, but I
am no gutter"
If Governor Hughes further demon.
strates that he is no gutter regarding
his announced state policies. If Charley
does not become '.docile." the organiza.
ton of his party will defeat him in the
legislature, in convention and in eau.
Gus. 1t has the power to do so. 1t
dares to do so. ''The people forget"
says noted lobbyist. The forsetful-
ness of the people is the safeguard Of
the politician.

And Hughes had no issue this year
that gripped the public MS 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 andy 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 50 called
Hinman-Green Billy through the legis-
lature. He went before the citizens of
the state with the slogan, Down With
the bosses!" But the people refused t.
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

considerable study. Direct primaries

FIRE FIGHTERS AID,
Timber Cruisers Plan Wireless
Telegraph System.

Wireless telegraphy as a means OF
giving alarm in the event OF fire is the
plan advocated by timber cruisers In
Spokane. Wash, to protect the forests
in Washington, Idaho, Montana, Ne.
vada, California and British Columbia
which contain approximately 100000.
600 acres OF standing timber. Expert
enced cruisers in Spokane believe this
is the solution Of problem OF scien,
tlfic IRE fighting. which costs lumber
companies and the United States for.
est service hundreds of thousands OF
dollars every year. in addition to the
enormous expense involved in con.
structing and maintaining telephone
and telegraph lines by the government
The plan outlined by r. III. Arm.
strong. an expert operator. is to estab.
lish a system of wireless signal boxes
and teach the forest rangers the code
SO that at the first alarm they can 10.
cate the fire and summon assistance
before the flames gain much Roadway.
This would eliminate the danger OF
cutting off communication by fires de.
stroying the poles and trees falling
across wires. Probably the most I'm.
portant thing is the saving of life.
Every year since 1870 an average OF
fifty persons have been burned to death
in the. United States in forest fires,
making total of nearly 1000 lives
sacrificed to flames which might have
been prevented
Armstrong maintains that the chief
reason for the big contiagrations is
after Il small fire is discovered a long
time elapses before the alarm can be
sounded and aid summoned to fight
the flames. Many Of the large lumber
concerns o. the Pacific northwest have
considered using telephone lines for
connecting AMPS of forest rangers.
but this was given up for the reason
that the fires Would burn the poles or

of the time. Then, too, It was found
that in many timber tracts the coun-
try is SO rugged and the standing tim.
Der so heavy 1t would be almost i'm.
possible to stretch telephone line.
However, the forest service has built
hundreds OF miles Of telephone lines
and cut trails through the big govern,
ment forests in Idaho. Washington
Montana and other western states
where 1t also maintains patrols. These
were found Of good use during the
fires in 1907 and 1908. but large areas
were burned over as the result OF the
fires gaining great Roadway before
they could be located by range riders.
One Thousand acres of virgin timber
In western Washington were destroyed
last year, when the season was com
paratively light one for fire losses. and
the losses in eastern Oregon. northern
idaho. western Montana, northeastern
Washington, California and southeast
ern British Columbia were also heavy.
This enormous loss OF property and
sometimes the lives OF homesteaders
can be prevented to large extent, IT
is believed. by the employment OF the
wireless telegraph for reporting fires
as soon as they start and calling for
assistance from all Sides

GOVERNOR CHARLES EVANS HUGHES.

Taft presidential campaign Of last fall
with national reputation as a cam
paign orator. Widely spoken Of as the
greatest asset of the Republican party
in the east and reelected by 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-
1oyed. 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 we'll known. Today how do
we find him7 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 :?
IT 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 a purely political exposition a
governor who fights the state organiza-
tion of bis party can gain but one Of
two things-a victory or, a compro-
mise. The chances always are that he
will attain neither end. To gain either
he must .play politics." Hughes has
mot played politics.. 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
= reform governor IN presidential
year In what might again prove to be
the pivotal state. But that contingent
ey cannot occur again, so far AZ
Hughes isf concerned. Whatever he
receives at the hands of the Republic
an party in future he must be in po-
sition to demand. He has lost strength
among the voters. He has been sub
jected to q series of important defeats
In the last New York legislature. The
psychology Of defeat is no uncertain
quantity. The public demands win.
.ner. It demands winner that keeps
on winning. Ginning tongues are ever
ready r. ipsipuate that the man who

age citizen could afford.
Importance Of Newspaper Attitude.

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 II 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 datly 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 nomina-
lions bill. Among these men were

Cornell university and President Mich
olas Murray Butler Of Columbia uni
versity. Ex-Mayor Seth Low of New
York city, himself leading supporter

session of the senate and assembly

lieve this bill should be enacted this
year. :s 4 would prevent I; fusion in the

Those were some Of the influences
that affected public opinion regarding
the direct primary bill, and the COM
bined influences were sufficient to give
many senator and assemblyman n
reason for voting against the measure
that would be acceptable to most of
his constituents. !. ~
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 manner not to
their liking. The public service com

Defeat Of His Policies
by State Leaders.
d. FREDERICK =. roor1n..

lEDrTOR's NoTE.-Mr. Toombs is a
member OF the New York legislature and
has supported the governor In all of his
lights except on the Hinman-Green direct
primary bill. The fact. then, that Mr..
Toomhs sees decline in the governors
power 10 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
no 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 q 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
~ outside It a mans principles are Of
ten matter Of convenience or Of ex-
pediency. Not 20 has 1t been with
Governor Hughes. Face to face with
the issue, he must decide whether he
will continue to fight for the establish
ment. and perpetuatfon Of his state
governmental policies, and thus sacri-
flee his political future, or whether he
viii compromise with or surrender to
the Republican organization Of his
state, and thus guarantee to himself
the favor. OF that organization and a
