Governor, Shaw, when asked for a
statement concerning the result of
the Chicago convention. replied:
II am well pleased. Justice Hughes
will poll q larger vote than any other
man in the United States and he will
make q most excellent president.
Few people know Charles E
Hughes. He is unique character. A
position on the supreme bench is most
dignifled and must have been congen'
fal to a man of his temperament. but
Charles E. Hughes never says no to
duty He let 1t be known that he did
not desire the nomination. but fur.
ther than that he would not go. He
would have responded to the call with
equal promptness and perhaps with
less tears had he known that it meant
defeat or even assassination. This
comes from his deep. abiding and un'
swerving christian character. He would
go to the stake with equal promptness
as to. the presidential chair If duty as
he understands it so demanded. f
= ."The only criticism anyone has ever!
offered of Justice Hughes is of q po-
litical character. It is said that he ts
not sufficiently appreciative of the
work of his friends. But he never
asks favors nor grants them. Duty isl
the one pole star Of his private and
public4 life Con. Grant said of him
self, Il have never sought position
OF honor or preferrment, and have
never declined one.' This is the high.
est standard of the American citizen
and no man whom | have personally
known SO completely measures to that
standard as does Charles r. Hughes.
Vice President Fairbanks is equal
" we'll known He is man OF unim.
peachable character and very Low.
able man.
The campaign will be most inter.
esting and hope free from acrimony.
For q number of years we have had
personal politics as distinguished from
party politics and abuse and misrep.
resentation have been freely indulged.
This campaign bids fair to be free OF
these objectionable features" i
