"kIckERs" OR PATRIOTS,

There are persons who con-
stantly riamor. They complain
of OPPRESSION. speculation and
pernicieus influence of accumu-
lated wealth. They cry out loud
~ against all banks and rOrpOra-
tons and an means 10y which
small capitalists become united
in order tn produce important
and beneficial results. They car
~ on mad hostility against all
established institutions They
would choke the fountain OF in
dnSiry and dry all streams. In
a country OF unhOunded liberty
they clamor against oppression.
In n country OF perfect equality
they would move heaven and
earth against privilege aud mo
nolniy. Ia country where
property is more evenly divided
than anywhere else they rend
the ulr. shouting agrarian doc
trines. In a country where wages
of labor are high beyond paral-
lei they would teach the laborer
that he is but an oppressed slave.

BOOM STARTED FOR JUSTICE HUGHES AS
A POSSIBLE DARK HORSE CANDIDATE

Chicago, June ia movement in
behalf of Justice Charles E. Hughes
of the United States supreme court
as a compromise candidate for presi-
dent took definite form here today.
Several supporters of the justice
came on from New York and spent
the day in the hotel lobbies and
quarters of various state delegations,
sounding the sentiment of delegates
and political leaders. William H.
Hotchkiss Of New York. former state
superintendent Of insurance and q
close friend of Justice Hughes, is
the leading spirit of the movement.
Does not Justice Hughes state-
ment Of last week that he would not
estop any movement of his friends"
he was asked.
II think not" he replied. "No man.
particularly man with Justice
Hughes ideas of civic duty, can re-
fuse to serve the people Of the nation
in a crisis such as the present one"
Mr.. Hotchkiss and his associates
tOOh pains u IIIdkc IL CicdT ttldI tney
had come here without the knowl-
edge of Justice Hughes. who. they
felt. would discourage such a move
ment. Mr.. Hotchkiss said he had
not seen the justice in six months.
"1 am pleased" he said. "to learn
in the few hours have spent in Chi
cago what large number Of dele
gates are leaning toward Justice
Hughes as the man on whom all fac
tions can unite. He would appeal
to the whole country. He could
carry his own state Of New York,
which is a prime requisite.
Il did not come to Chicago as an
opponent Of Colonel Roosevelt. whom
as an exponent Of progressive prin-
ciples. shall support should he be
nominated. ! came here --nrely in
an effort to help solve a problem
which confronts the republican party

George B. Agnew Of New York,
former state senator and one Of the
authors Of the Agnew-Hart racetrack
bill over which Governor Hughes
made the most spectacular fght Of
his career at Albany. reached Chicago
today.
