campaign progressed, In the first
place he wouldn't put any money in
to the campaign. There was enough
of that on the other side he said.
Besides he didn't have enough to
make any impression even If he had
wished to make that kind Of a cam
paign. A certain Ed. Lawrence was
running the Paterson Guardian and
one Robert Bremner was doing the
same with the Passaic Herald, and
between them they managed to give
a good deal of publicity to the
Hughes idea and stirred the district
up to a considerable extent. When
1t was all over the count showed
"Billy" just about $500 votes ahead
OF Colonel Barbour.
In saying that BILLY" Is about the
same as unbeatable, the fact is not
lost sight of that he was nosed out
for reelection in 1904 when the
Roosevelt landslide occurred. But
that was just the rule proving ex-
ception. Most beaten candidates
quit. either from preference, or
from necessity, but this one went
right back in 1906 because he was a
good scrapper and got elected again.
UhCA hO ACtuA LSo " "oohAh5'N"b
Congress recognized that New Jer-
sey had developed a real big a
In 1908 Taft carried Hughes dis
trict by over 1900. The Congress-
man was reelected by 1900, and in
1910 the margin was 1890, though
Vivian Lewis defeated Woodrow
Wilson there.
Then it was that Hughes got his
biggest chance to show what was in
him. The House was Democratic
1br the first time In sixteen years.
The Democrats had pledged them
selves to 30 change the rules of the
House as to take away the arbitrary
power of the Speaker hat had be-
come a national scandal. But when
they lot to Washington they real
lied that this was an easier thing to
say than to do. There were some
anxious times among the leaders of
the House until "Billy" Hughes
came along with his suggestion.
LET the House elect a Ways and
Means Committee" said he. "And
then let this committee choose the
other committees"
And this was the plan adopted,
that has made the House once more
a real representative body. And
BILLY" Hughes was made n Of the
first members of the new Ways and
Means Committee that he devised,
and has been a power there. He
has grown tremendously-he is n
the big men of the capital. He
came in here on a brake-beam and
he is a member of the Ways
and Means Committee" is the way
one of his colleagues put it some
time ago.
Coming to the present issue:
Why should this man be advanced
to the United States Senator" His
friends cay It Is because the higher
body needs men like Hughes who

RECORD OF WILLIAM HUGHES.

The slogan of the New Jersey
Democrats at the Baltimore conven-
ton of Lets nominate a winner"
which was followed by the nomina-
ton of Woodrow Wilson, may we'll
be applied to Congressman William
Hughes campaign for United States
Senator. Ever since Billy" as he
is most generally known, startled
the state ten years ago by carrying
the Passaic district in the face of a
normal Republican majority of 5000
he has been capturing honor after
honor, until it would seem that he
simply can't be headed off for any
thing.
And indeed, that first victory of
his was n hat might we'll have in
spired the idea that BILLY" was I'M
b~eatable. The Republicans of his
district had nominated Colonel Will
liam Barbour, able and very popu-
lar, considering the fact that he was
a millionaire two OF three times
over. The Democrats of the Passaic
district in that year of 1902 didn't
imagine they had the ghost of a
chance against the colonel, and when
Billy Hughes admitted that he would
like to have the nomination there
was a good deal of smiling, of the
plying kind.
Some of the party even inquired
"Who is Hughes?" and had to be in
formed that he was a lawyer of
about thirty or so, who had made
some progress in the courts and
might have made more if he hadn't
dropped his studies to respond to
the nations call for troops in 1898.
Another interesting fact was that he
was a self-educated man and had
actually started in life working by
the day in the textile mills of this
same Colonel Barbour, whose cleo
ton to Congress was asserted to be
such a thoroughly foregone conclu-
sion.
1t may have been that the Demo-
Gratis who were managing affairs of
that district ten years ago were a
little amused at the idea of running
BILLY" against his old boss, and fig
ured that as long as the young man
wanted the nomination he might as
well have it as anybody else. Any
way they put him up.
He. became more interesting as the
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-09-20

have shown their independence and
progressiyeness in the lower one.
That he has introduced, worked for
and voted for, legislation of most
advanced type in his present posi-
ton, which the Senate has smoth-
cred. His work has been for the up
lifting Of humanity, and the Senate
citadel must be stormed before the
final results are secured.
The record of the Congressman
has been consistently one in favor of
everything that tended to better la
Dor conditions.
In 1908 an Employers Liability
Bill came up before the Sixtieth
Congress. This bill was favored by
organized labor throughout the land.
Mr.. Hughes believing it to be the
best bill that the Republicans in
both Houses Of Congress would stand
for, gave it his earnest support in
the House, and on April G., 1908,
voted in favor of the bill.
Labor Disputes.
At the last session of the Con-
gress a bill was introduced for COM
pulsory investigation of labor dis
putes. This measure brought forth
a storm of protest from labor organ
izations. The Democrats in the
House, then in minority, with the
assistance of Republicans who feared
to face their constituents if sup
porting the measure, succeeded in
defeating this bill which would
have proven a step toward compul-
sorry arbitration. Mr.. Hughes was
recorded as voting against the bill.
Prosecution of Unions.
On June 2 1910 the Contingent
Deficiency Appropriation bill was be-
fore the House for consideration.
That bill contained an appropriation
for the prosecution Of antitrust vio-
lations. The House of Representa-
tiyes adopted the following amend
ment offered by Mr.. Hughes:
provided further, That no part of
this money shall be spent in the pros
ecution of any organization or indi-
vidual for entering into combination
or agreement having in view the in
creasing of wages, shortening OF
hours or lettering the condition of
labor, or for any act done in further
ance, thereof not in itself unlawful"
The bill was passed by the House
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-09-20

Another labor measure that re-
ceiyed the support of Congressman
Hughes WAS that known az the
Clayton Contempt Bill" regulating
the procedure Of courts in direct and
indirect contempts. 1t provides for q
trial by Jury.
Department OF Labor.
Labor is to be represented in the
Presidents Cabinet hereafter as the
result of the Department of Labor
bill enacted into law by the last Con-
gress. The Secretary of Labor will
have the power of mediation in trade
disputes and the right to appoint
conciliators in such cases when in his
judgment it Is wise to do so, and
while his good offices may be used
for the purposes of bringing the
contending parties together, he shall
have no power to enforce his own
views upon either of them. This bill
also received the hearty support of
Representative Hughes.
ChiIdren's Bureau.
Another important measure that
received his vote was the Children's
Bureau bill, to promote the welfare
of children and to devise means
whereby the necessities of the par
ents cannot be used to retard the
development of our children.
Industrial Relations.
He also introduced a bill to create
a Commission on Industrial Rela-
tons, for the purpose of investigat-
ing, into labor conditions in this
country and abroad, also to ~investi-
gate the entire subject of industrial
relations between employer and m
ploye, with a view to ascertain the
best method of dealing with indus
trial disputes, so as to protect the
rights of all persons directly or indi-
rectly interested. This bill became
a law.
Bureau of Mines.
The loss of life among workmen
employed In the mines of our coun-
try is tremendous. A bill introduced
in the last session of Congress to
widen the scope of the recently es-
tablished Bureau of Mines so that it
may be better able to develop meth
DDS of preventing accidents in mines
and have greater efficiency in rescue
work when accidents occur, received
the support and vote of Congress
man William Hughes.
Dredge Workers Law.
Congress overcame a recent deci-
sion of the Supreme Court in which
it was held hat men employed on
dredges in our rivers and harbors
were not laborers or mechanics, but
seamen and therefore did not come
within the scope of the eight hour
law, by enacting the dredge workers
eight hour bill into law. Mr..
Hughes also voted for this measure.
Phosphorus Tax.
Another commendable bill intro
duced by Mr. Hughes was the me
placing a prohibitive tax upon the
importation of white phosphorus,
used in the manufacture Of matches.
This bill was designed to prevent it's
use, because it had been demon
strated that the use of white phos-
phorus was the cause of a loathsome
disease among match workers,
known as "phossy jaw" Owing to
the persistent work of Mr.. Hughes
this bill is now a law.
This adv. paid for by Democratic
National Committee, State of New
jersey.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-09-20

with this proviso or amendment.
Reaching the Senate, 1t was reported
out of committee without the Hughes
amendment. Senator Briggs vote
was recorded against the adoption OF
the amendment when the Senate
voted to sustain the action OF the
committee to eliminate 1t. After
passing the Senate the bill went to
conference. The House had %instruc-
ed it's conferees to disagree with the
Senate. These instructions were an
Endorsement of It's former action in
favor of the Hughes amendment as
originally added to the bill. Again
Mr.. Hughes voted in favor thereof.
After two days elaboration the con-
ferees reported back that they could
reach no agreement with the confer
ees from the Senate.
A motion was promptly made by
one of the enemies of labor and car
ried by this Republican House of
Representatives to eliminate the
Hughes amendment from the bill.
Thus the House, at h critical mo-
ment, reversed itself and agreed to
the Senate's demands. And upon
this proposition Mr.. Hughes voted
in the negative. This vote of re-
versal was the determining factor
in which the Republican House of
Representatives placed itself on rec
ord as being opposed to any organi-
cation or individual making an Or
ganized effort to increase wages, to
reduce hours or to better the condi-
ton of labor, organized or morgan
lied, without running the risk OF
criminal prosecution under the Anti
Trust Law.
Eight Hour Law.
For many years there had been
upon the statute books a law for an
eight hour day on work done by the
government. Mr.. Hughes, at the last
session of Congress, introduced an
eight hour bill in the House, limiting
the hours of employment to eight
hours on work done for the govern
ment, as well as upon work lone by
the government. He fought hard
and persistently to bring about the
triumph of this much-desired legisla-
ton, and succeeded in so doing, the
bill TO- being a law. This bill di-
rectly affects contractors and sub
contractors engaged on government
"Oihs ihlo Y dlohC L ltduCS
the hours of labor OF hundreds of
thousands of workmen directly or
indirectly employed by or for the
government, giving greater oppor-
tunity for rest, recreation and men
tai development to those affected by
it.
Anti-Injunction Legislation.
At the last session of Congress
an anti-intunction bill was intro
dueed which had the Endorsement OF
the American Federation Of Labor,
limiting the issuance of injunctions.
Congressman Hughes voted to bring
this bill upon special rule to expe-
dite its enactment and ut the mai.
passage voted in favor thereof.

Remaining 164 Contests Were FrivOl-
Gus, and Their Prompt Abandonment
Reflects Upon the osnuinsnsss and
Validity Of the Remainder.
Washington, July 20.-Here are the
facts In relation to the contested seats
In the Republican national convention.
II Is a summary Of detailed state
ment going carefully into all OF the
cases, a statement 80 thorough that II
takes up 100 pages OF printed matter
This statement is signed by Mr.. Victor
Rosewater. chairman OF the former Re
publican national committee; by Mr. J
II. Deyine OF Colorado chairman OF the
committee on credentials OF the Repub
llcnn national convention, and by Mr.
Charles ID, Hilles, chairman OF the

The total number OF delegates sum
moned 10 the convention under It's call
was l07S. with $40 necessary TO
choice Mr., Taft had 56l votes on the
first and only ballot and was declared
the nominee. There were instituted
against 23S OF the delegates regularly
elected for TAFT contests on behalf of
Roosevelt. These contests were ayow-
edly instigated not for the purpose OF
really securing seats In the convention.
dence which would lead any respect
able court to entertain the contests, but
for the purpose of deceiving the public
into the belief that Mr.. Roosevelt had
more votes than he really had, as the
conventions and primaries were in
progress for the selection OF delegates
This Is not only a necessary inference
from the character OF the contests, but
II was boldly avowed by the chief edi-
tor OF the newspapers owned by Mr..
Munsey, who has been Mr.. Roosevelt's
chief financial and newspaper sup
porter The 23S contests were reduced
by abandonment to seventy-four.
The very fact OF these 1914 frivolous
contests itself reflects upon the genu.
