IN PRAISE OF HUGHES

To tho Editor OF Epentn0 Ledger
Slr-In reply to Mr.. Nixon, who in last
nights EVENING LEDGER asked for some
information about Justice Hughes. but
clearly favors Roosevelt, would be pleased
TO enlghten him about both men, having
met them several times and taken great
interest in their careers.
Justice Hughes is Baptist and has al

AS Governor of New York State he was the
first and only one to be absolutely inde-
pendent of all politicians or political ma

strenuous opposition New Yorks Public

gambling law and a big start toward the
direct primary law are only few of his
achievements
Neither Barnes nor Penrose wants Hughes
for President as they know they utterly
lack influence with him. T. r. when run
ming for Governor in 1898 made many
boasts as to what he would do to the canal

been grating on the State for years. some

too well the treatment they deserved but

Governor Hughes. In making his ap-
pointments didn't inquire what party or
faction a man belonged to or who was

last thing to enter into his calculations.

Spanish War of stumpng the State in a

name few Americans whose patriotism
can match Mr.. Roosevelt's and few
who are more silent than he. We have
not space to print the names of every
other American besides Mr.. Roosevelt.
which would be necessary if we were to
give list of those more silent. 1t would
take about the same space to contain a
