Republican Chosen Party Chicago AS Only Available
Who Could Unite Warning Political Factions
Make Victory Reasonably Certain

The young lawyer prosecuted his work
with intense ZEAL undermining his
health. SO that in 1891 he gladly accepted
an opportunity to become a professor OF
law In Cornell University at Ithaca, N.
Y, where the air Is clear and bracing.
Two years later he rejoined his old firm'
which now was called Carter, Hughes
and Dwight
The nation became acquainted with Mr..
Hughes in 1905 and 1906, when he acted as
counsel for two important New York leg
isIatjve committees, the Stevens commit
tee TO investigate the gas and electric
lighting companies Of New York City.
and the Armstrong committee to investi-
gate the business Of life insurance.
Such tremendous popular effect did Mr..
Hughes disclosures OF life insurance cor
ruption have that the Republicans in
1906 decided to nominate him for mayer
OF New York City. A committee notified
him Of his nomination October g. 1896,
but Mr.. Hughes declined. saying:
I'm my judgment I have no right to
accept the nomination. A paramount pub
lie duty forbids It.

Cleaned Up Insurance.
AS a result of the insurance investiga-
ton much legislation was enacted which
put the insurance business Of New York
State on a safe, high plane.
Mr.. Hughes next big Job was as spe-
cial counsel of the United States Depart
ment Of Justice. in seeking to ascertain
whether the coal railroads had broken the
antitrust and anti-rebate laws
In 1906 the Republican State convention
at Saratoga, nominated him for governor
by acclamation. Mr.. Hughes accepted
and made a most vigorous canvass. He
was the only candidate Of the Republican
State ticket who was elected.
As governor he proved to be a thorn in
the flesh Of the "Old Guard" because ne
strove to be. as he had promised, the
governor Of all the people"
He refused to appoint bosses favorites
to office. He overhauled the State bank
ing department and obtained the passage
Of important reform legislation affecting
trust companies and making impossible
a repetition of the bank receivership
scandals.
He further strengthened the laws guard
ing the peoples interests in Insurance..
Two public service commissions were
created thrugh his influence superseding
former useless supervisory bodies.

He checked race track gambling, call

bills which tended to make, him unpopu-

Presidential nomination at the Republi.
can convention Of 1908 and was renomi-
mated for governor at the State conven-

party bosses whom he refused to recog-
niZe. During his second term he con-
tinued to press reform legislation.
Mr.. Hughes speeches for Mr.. Taft
through the West and Middle West in
1908 made him a reputation as a con-
vincing campaign orator. They had great
influence in securing his nomination this
year.
President Taft named Mr.. Hughes In
1910 to fill a vacancy in the Supreme
Court, where his hard and intelligent
labor on the vast problems before this
tribunal have added immensely to his
prestige,
His Reputation Endured.
Hughes reputation made as governor
and investigator endured undimmed
through his six years OF obscurity on the
Supreme Court bench. He seemed to
most of the Republican delegates at Chi
cago to be the only man who could re-
unite the divided party. and he has said
since that this duty-of bringing the Pro-
gressives back into the fold-was the
principal thing moving him to leave his
judicial robes.
