THE PRESS OF THE NATION
ON CHAS. f. HUGHES

In accordance with our plan to give
the readers of the Herald not only
the political news of the country as
seen from a Republican view point
but also the news as seen from the
Democratic field, we are publishing
the opinions of several of the most
prominent newspapers of the United
States, regardless of their political
affiliations, on the nomination of
Hughes and Fairbanks.
1t is our purpose to faver our read
ers with what is being published
thruout the country, then they may
draw their own conclusions as to
which side has the merits of the
case.
There is bound to be two sides 20
the great political questions before
the American people and they desire
to have something to say about the
by those who make thoro study of
the great questions before the people
and yet do not agree.

They not only admitted it, but feared

it. But it did not. The machine car
