reel boy had made good.
That was Mr.. Hughes's first Con-,
gress. He sat in three others, and
has served eight years in the House
Of Representatives.. He Is now the
leading candidate for the Democratic
nomination for United States Senator
His friends are absolutely convinced
that he will be nominated, and many
other persons believe that his friends
are right. If he Is nominated, he Will
almost assuredly be elected, and the
reel boy OF Paterson will give to the
United States Senate some of the

Samuel Blythe, who writes who's
Who-And Why" for the Saturday
Evening Post, in writing Of Congress
man Hughes for his pas on Septem-
Der %. 1911, summarizes his opinionl
of Congressman Hughes in thesei
words:
THE leadership of the Democrats
when they were in a minority In thei
House was a kind of a scattering af-
fair. When the Democrats came intol
a majority tina leadership had to-
solidify a bit, and a number of strong
men got their recognition. One of
these young men was Hughes. Ike
was made a member of the Committee
on Ways and Means, which is the big
gest honor in the Hous next to the
Speakership and the chairman of this
committee, and at the present timei
is especially important because of thet
tariff legislation that has been in prot
gress and that will continue through
the life of this Congress.
Hughes has developed into a strong
man on the Democratic side. After
it was decided that the Speaker should
not appoint the committees there was
d great potner as to how the commit
tees should be appointed. A lot Of
plans were proposed, but Hughes came
marching to the front with the plan
that prevailed and that proved satis-
factory and workable. He proposed
that the Democratic majority should
elect the Ways and Means Committee
in caucus and that the Ways and
Means Committee so elected should be-
made the Committee on Committees
and clothed with the power to name
the other committees
Hughes has been especially active
in securing legislation for the work.
crs. He succeeded in amending p
preparation bills to prevent the en-
ployment of convict labor. and put ona
amendments providing for an eight
hour day on Government contracts.
Hughes is a big, brawny. broad
~shouldered man with a fighters spirit.
He is quick In debate, enthusiastic
pugnacious. and is getting stronger ON
his side every minute.
"'What do you think Of him? asked
a friend, one upon a time-there ~

The General Assembly will be in

urday night, at which the general sit,

There is at least one act, and it is
thought two others, which are yet in
the Governors office, which if the

to do so. The Senate is determined
to remain in session until all acts
have been returned from the Execu-
