perhaps jumped at it. that because of
his known rectitude. his large ability.
his progressive tendencies and his
public affairs on a large scale, Justice
Hughes would make an ideal president
and would be especially ideal as Re-
publican presidential candidate be-
cause of the certainty that he would
be acceptabl to all factions of the
party. -
At that time, however, the situation
and questions confronting these United
States had not been SO sharply de-
fined, nor had what will be the issues
of the presidential campaign been SO
roundly and surely shaped.
But as these important matters have
developed to their true form, the
quondam supporters of Hughes began
to see the light, and it reflected the
fact that the distinguished jurist fails
to measure up to the requirements of
the hour because the silence that it is
so necessary for him to maintain,
unless he resign from his place on
the United States supreme court,
makes his attitude on the para
mount questions of the day an in
scrutable enigma. Not a one of them
was even discussed to any extent
while Justice Hughes was active in
the public arena.
That and that alone must be why
so many of his supporters of yester-
day are turning away from him.
That, too, is why more and more of
them will do so.
And. for the most part, they are
