Without Precedent-Is Applauded
on Every Hand.
Especial to The Caucasian.)
Washington, D. c.. April 26. 1917.
The appointment of Governor
of New York, for Justice OF
the Supreme Court TO succeed the
late Justice Brewer will meet with
approval from every quarter, unless
1t be from those interests who have
cause to fear so able, courageous and
upright man on the Supreme
Bench.
1t will be remembered that the ex-
posure of the gigantic frauds con-
nected with the great insurance COM
panies was unearthed by Mr.. Hughes
before he was elected Governor. His
great ability and dauntless courage
brought to light condition OF affairs
of which the country had never sus-
pected or dreamed. He has for sew
eral years been regarded by the peo-
pie of the whole country as of Presl-
Dental size, and probably it is safe
to say that he stands in the popular
mind next to Roosevelt among the
great men of the country who might
be called to the Presidential chair.
President Taft Urging Legislation.
The President is steadily and con-
| tinuously urging on Congress the
passage of laws at this session to re-
deem the pledges Of the party. 1t
now looks as if he would see the rail-
road rate bill and the postal savings
bank bill passed at an early date.
| The President is also keenly con-
cerned that a Republican House
should be reelected this year, in Or
der that the other great reform meas
ures to which his administration is
pledged may be enacted into law be-
fore the end of his term. 1t IS the
general talk among politicians that
the President has been misled in
some matters, but that he is rapidly
mastering the situation and that his
administration will develop better re-
suits and more progress as each day
passes.
Rooseyelt's Continued Ovation in Eu
rope.
al The ovation which Roosevelt ha
been receiving during the past few
days in France has equaled the mar
= velous demonstrations made over hi
o visit in Austria and Hungary. It i
!. generally admitted that no one, no
, even including the crowned heads
q have ever attracted the interest, at
= tention and ovations from the pee
pie of every country of Europe a
has Roosevelt.
ii When he was asked in Hungar
10 how he explained the great ovation
2. from the people. he replied simpl
n that he thought it showed the dee
N rooted sentiment of the people of FL
X rope for freedom and for Republ
can institutions. and the fact that
had recently been President of tt
n greatest Republic on earth cause
ne them to take the occasion Of his Wis
re to express their sentiments in this
IT. gard.
of His speech before the French Aca
.ts emy, which was the foremost seat
ed learning in Europe before Ameri
was discovered, was not only receiv
with great applause by the me
ng learned assemblage of the people
is France, but has attracted the atte
a. ton of the whole world. The spec
IDS was on Mr.. Roosevelt's ideal of t
in duty of the citizen of Republic.
ne Some State Politics.
A prominent Republican from
western part of the State, who y
here yesterday, said that it was hs
III to understand the action of
oi Cowles in having Mr.. Brown remo'
:, as Collector and his young frie
49,. Reynolds, of Wilkesboro, who c
Quoted his campaign, nominated
his stead. He said it was repor
in the State that this scheme, WI
ever it is, had been worked out
the State patronage machine bos
and that they intended to use
as Collectors office as a political
nair chine to serve their purposes.
ESQ said, however, it was reported
ana young Reynolds, if made Collec
tlon would resign if Congressman Coz
par should later want the place him:
tnat He also said he heard it reported
De- Cowles was to be the candidate
GEMS the machine bosses for State CT
tnat man. However, he expressed
opinion that neither one of the
chine bosses would want to give
any of their power, and that
would probably use Cowles' nam
{ the stalking horse" to try to get (
up gates to the convention for their
rene use.
alton This same Republican said,
:. the ever, that he had never seen the
lit at and file of the Republican party
Id he aroused and determined to see
The affairs of the party taken out o
ontro- hands of the patronage machine
to the es and put In the hands or le
who wanted to carry the state.
