FRIEND OF TRUSTS
THAT Is WHAT BRYAN SAYS OF
GOVERNOR HUGHES
Calls Attention to Some Things in
His Political Caree. TO Prove What

at Lincoln, Ncb.. VIM. Jennings
Bryan commented Tuesday on the
appointment, Of Governor Hughes as
Associate Justice Of the Supreme
Court as follows:
The appointment OF Governor
Hughes to the Supreme Court bench
will be regarded by many as popu-
lar appointment. He has been put
forward as reformer and seems TO
be considered one by great many
good people. but his reputation as
.e.ormer rests upon a few Official
acts which show him opposed to
grating and 70 the individual! wees.
bu: no one who will examine his re-
cord can doubt that he IS In close
sympathy with the exploiting cor
porations.
II, will be remembered that he We
toed the bill for the reduction OF
railroad rates after New York Leg
islature-and a Republican Legisla-
,ure at that-had passed the reduction
bill. This measure gave TO the coz
gested population OF New York the
two cent rate now enjoyed by the
more scattered population OF the
Western States, and his veto Of il is
conclusive proof that he ooeys the
dictates Of the railway managers. in
stead OF listening 10 the voice OF the
public.
He is understood to be a close
personal friend Of Rockefeller. and
the published reports show that the
trust magnates have contributed lio-
orally to his campaign funds He
! has not hesi.ated to show that he ac-
| knowledges his Indebtedness. IL
1905 he was the chief defender OF
iuac,ion OF the Republican party on
the trust question
ut will be remembered also that
he was the first prominent man TO
oppose the income tax. and his op-
| position came after, Mr. Rockefeller
had announced hostility to the in
come tax amendment The corpora
ton attorneys who led an argument
agains: the income tax with the Al
bany Legislature presented the same
argument that Gorerno! Hughes did.
and these corporation attorneys, with
Governor Hughes powerful aid. bare
IL succeeded in preventing the rati-
hcation Of the amendment by the
State OF New York.
What would he dc on the Su'
preme Bench il any question arose
affecting the income tax? His var
ious speeches show that he feels nc
hostility toward private monopol!es
and there is no reason to doubt thai
his decisions would be IN line with
,his speeches.
Governor Hughes eHempiihes
the individual vissitudes and natuT'
ally demands honesty in the public
| service, but he is shining illustra,
| ton Of that peculiar type OF citizen
/! developed il this country during the
present generation-the citizen who
personally opposes vice and is pun
isher Of small crimes. Sut SLOWS nc
! indignation at the iar+"r forms OF ie'
ralized cobbery.'

Senator Lodge Monday gave no
tice in the Senate that he would not
further press his resolution appro-
priating s65.000 for the extension of

Of living. He gave as the reason
for his attitude the opposition OF
the Democratic Senator's. AS a mat
ter Of courtesy to Senator Percy. Of
Mississippi. who wished to speak.
MC. Lodge asked general consent TO
have the resolution taken up.
Before Mr. Percy could proceed
Mr.. Stone entered a protest to Mr.
Lodges statement.
We do not accept the statemen!
OF the Senate! from Massachusetts
! that he cannot bring his resolution
to vote because OF the opposition
on this side
Mt. Lodge said he was willing to
have vote taken at any time.
Mr.. Stone con,ended fo- the regu-
larity and propHety OF the Demo-
| cratic opposition to the resolution.
and he expressed the opinion that
vote might be obtained at compar-
atively early date.
Mr.. Lodge reiterated his willing
ness to take a vote on the resolu-
ton. but not to delay the railroad
bill.
When the resolution was taken up
for discussion. NJ. Percy expressed
the opinion that /: was politica!
move and intended to save the wan
ing fortunes Of the Republican party
He said he could not bring himself
to support it without an amendment
extending the inquiry into cotton
speculations. declaring that "in all
the spoilation OF the South through
the trusts and combines under the
New York Cotton Exchange. not once
had the strong arm Of the Govern
ment been stretched out in the pro-
lection Of that section"
Declaring sectionalism a matter Of
the past. MI Percy declared that
neverthereless IL was coming to be
generally recognized that the white
man must control affairs IN the
South.
The property holding and irtel-
ligent class must govern. ana tha:
means a government by the Anglo
SaXcas." he said.
Mr.. Smith Of South Carolina then
introduced a resolution providing
for al inquiry into the sale OF cot
ton to the cotton pool. He said
there had not been enough cotton
sold to influence the price OF cot
ton. and that the New York sales had
not been legitimate.
