MINGLED FEELINGS HERE.
Governors Loss to Party in
State Regretted on All Sides.
PRAISE FOR SELECTION
Leaders Say That Mr.. Hughes's
Work Will Stand to the Credit
of Himself and Republicans.

The news that Governor Hughes had ac-
cepted the offer of the place on the Su-
preme Court bench left vacant by the death
of Justice Brewer, and would retire as
Chief Executive of this state TO take his
seaf on the bench on the second Monday
In October. was received here with mingled
feelings of qualification and sorrow. There
was qualification that the highest tribunal
in the country would receive so fine a legal
mind, but this was tempered by the
thought that the Republican party in this
state and the nation would lose the active
influence OF so powerful and progressive a
personality.
The announcement came as a great sur
prise. as, while some of his most intimate
friends. knew that the United States Su-
preme Court was most attractive place TO
the Governor. they had come TO feel that
he would not be willing to lay down his
active work as a member Of the Republi-
can party.
State Chairman Woodruff expressed great
surprise when told of the appointment
You don't mean that?" he said. II am
very much interested. / am very much sur
prised. / have known, of course that the
Governor has had It under consideration,
but his action Is a great surprise"
When asked what effect IL would have on
politics in this state. Mr.. Woodruff said:
I am not prepared to say The Gov
ernor's action is such a surprise to me that
am not prepared to express an opinion on
its effect"
''Of course. il is great loss to the Re-
publican party and the political world in
general, said Lloyd c. Griscom. president
or the Republican County Committee. II
feel strongly, however, that the ideals for
which he fought and the vigor which he
injected into the organization i'm this state
will be an asset Of which no man can de-
prive the party.

MR.. BRYAN'S VIEWS
His Criticism of the Appointment of
Mr.. Hughes.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune. ]


Lincoln, Neb.. April. Accommodating on
the appointment of Governor Hughes to
the Supreme bench. W. J. Bryan said to-
night:
The appointment of Governor Hughes to
the Supreme bench will be regarded by
many as a popular appointment. He has
been put forward as arefOrmer,, and seems
to be considered one by great many
good people, but his reputation as re-
former rests upon a few official acts which
show he's opposed to grating and TO the
individual vices, but no one who will ex-
anime his record can doubt that he is in
close sympathy with the exploiting cor
pOrations.
1t will be remembered that he, vetoed the
bill for the reduction of railroad rates
after a New York Legislature had passed
the reduction bill. This measure gave TO
the CongeSted population OF New York the
two-cent rate, and his veto Of il is con-
elusive proof that he obeys the dictates
of the railway managers. He Is under
Rockefeller. and the published reports
show that the trust n1agnates have con-
tributed literally to his campaign FUNDS.
In 1905 he was the chief defender OF the
inaction of the Republican party on the
II will be remembered also that he was
the first prominent man TO oppose the IN m
come tax, and his opposition came after
Mr.. Rockefeller had announced hostlhty 10
the income tax amendment The corpora
tion attorneys who hled an arsuiIleIt ii,
against the income tax with the Albany
Tegfslature presented the same argument
that Governor Hughes did. and these cor
poration attorneys. with Governor Hughes
powerful aid, barely succeeded in prevent
ing the ratification of the amendment by
the state of New York. What would he
do on the Supreme bench II any question
arose affecting the income ta~? His
sneeches show that he feels no hostility
toward private plonopolies. and there is no
reason To doubt that his decisions would
be in line WithF-his speeches.
Governor Hughes exemphfies the indi-
vidual virtues and naturally demands hon
estV in the public service, but he is a shin
ing illustration of that peculiar type OF
citizen developed in this country during
the present generation-the citizen VINO
nersonally opposes vice and is punisher
Of small crimes, but shows no Indignation
AZ the larger forms Of legalized robbery.

Among members Of the supreme Court

gratifioation that you have determined

Speaker Cannon declined TO comment
on the appointment but Representative
Champ Clark said that it was a good
appointment. Governor Hughes is
strong man." said Mr. Clark.
President Taft had been warned in ad
vance that Governor Hughes might not
be able to accept because his service as
Governor of the State of New York had
practically depleted his small private
fortune and he felt the necessity OF again
entering the practice OF law in order TO
earn a competence for himself and his
family This did not deter the President.

fact was carefully guarded. Governor
