Guessing on Hughes.

What will Hughes do? That is the
most interesting political question OF
the day, and people the country over
are guessing about it. So let us guess
too.
He will certainly accept the nominal
ton if he can get it. Otherwise he
would never let the movement in his
ia vor go on as 1t has been going.
Dozens Of political leaders and thou
sa nds of individuals are committing
themselves to him, and they will be
left in the cold If he now deserts
them. He certainly would not put
them in such a position. ia Is
He will assuredly decline. He has
protested against any consideration or
his name more than once. He will no-
allow the supreme bench to be dragged

confronted with a Hypothetical ques-'

"cAlLlkG' HUGHES.

MIR Roosevelt friends have called
Justice Hug hes. They insist that ne
sa4u state where ne stands.
Il seems TO be a reasonable demand
to come from other candidates and IS
one not less reasonable coming from
the voters The candidates would seem
to be entitled 70 know whether or not
the justice is q candidate. The voters
re certainly entitled TO know what he
stands for If he is 10 ne a candidate,
Brig the case home how ar wo2lo
airy tentative candidate 60 in a city
or county who made mystery OF his
candidacy. refused 10 say one thing or
another. failed to give any satisfaction
to inquiry as to where and for what he
stands?
Il Justice Hughes dignity as mem
Der OF the supreme court is OF such
fragile character as 10 prevent open
ness with the people and plain under
candidates. then it IS altogether TOO
fragile to be thrown into the hurry
burly of a campaign. Hughes should
either Iish or cut bait. There is no oc-
casion for mystery IN a presiden tial
candidacy six weeks before national
convention whose deliberations and
conclusions mean defeat or victory for
party and for principles.
1t is has been some time since
Hughes was in politics. Time makes
changes and creates new affiliations.
The country desires much to know
something more Of Justice Hughes
outlook on the future and of his pres
ent convictions. He is an unwise man
who buys a pig in a poke. Ii is al
together TOO much to ask that the vot-
ers take Mr. Hughes entirely upon the
asseverations Of those who profess
with or without authorlty-to whisper
for him.
If Hughes is to be a candidate it is
time he found it out and time that the
country were taken into confidence not
Only as 10 his purpose but as 10 his
stand on present and future prob
