ROOSEVELT AND HUGHES.

+. g
Charles z. Hughes, ex-governor vi
New York, and Col. Theodore Roose-
welt, ex-president of'the United states
are the two leading men in the repup.
lican party mentioned for the once OF
president In the public mind rignt
now these two men overshaoo" all
others and it is probable that one or
the other will be named by the dele
gates to the national convention III
Chicago next week.
BECAUSE this Is true, it Is interesting
TO note that certain features OF their
candidates. are in direct antithesis to
each other. The movements when
have brought their names thus prom,-
nently before the public. certainly
must represent opposite extremes or
thought and judgment. In nearly every
possible way, the booms on which
their names are being borne before the
convention are entirely different.
The demand for Roosevelt is to 4
great extent, the result of the expendl-
ture of vast sums OF money; OF spread.
ing broadcast magazine articles and
other propaganda in his favor and OF
= wide use of his own oratorical pow
ers. Roosevelts boom represents a
steady effort of the past four years on
the part Of certain men and news
papers to boost the former presidents
candidacy A final and telling factor
has been the recent fiery speech-mak
ing tour of the colonel and the bonn
bardment of convention delegates and
newspaper editors and business men
with long kilograms calling upon them
to work and vote for the nomination
OF Roosevelt. The Roosevelt boom is
the result Of carefully spent money
and careful political maneuvering.
On the other hand. Justice Hughes
has never. for one moment. lost his
mental self control. He has not men,
toned the presidency nor let reports
or rumors. or the lack of them, have
any effect on his good sense. He
doesn't refuse to do this. or consent to
do that-he just does not get worked
IN into hysteria every time the door
slams, He has refused to seek the
nomination; he has not said he would
refuse to accept it, but he has made
no effort by word. look or action to
gain any support for himself in refer
ence to the republican nomination.
And yet there is popular demand for
Hughes, the like of which has seldom
If ever been seen.
Justice Hughes goes along big
part of life's journey on an even keel
He does not look or act like man to
whom the back door gossip would be
attracted or attractive. He is attend
ing strictly to the duties for which he
is being paid salary.
1t is remarkable how the sentiment
for Hughes has grown without there
being any effort whatever to foster it..
Roosevelt's boom represents the ef'
forts of himself and numerous others
who honestly believe that the colonel
is the proper man to lead the party in
the coming election. 1t is case of
the man seeking the Office.
Hughes boom represents senti
ment among the people of the nation
who are looking for big man to lead
1t is case Of the office seeking tho
man.

United Press Stan Correspondent
NEW YORK, Nov 25.-Just as bril-
liant as some OF their most famous
predecessors. with records that show
even more for a seasons perform
ance, and with whole bones and
necks. several Of our countrys best
young men are basking in the calcium
glimmer Of footballs most powerful
seaTchlights And, for the most past
they owe their prominence to the
fact that modern football involving
open formal 'ons and fast forward
passing, has made it possible for the
small man TO match his prowess with
that Of the slow-moving but powerful
behemoth so essential in the old
style Of play.

Behind this affection lies a story Of
bravery that Morris or no other fighter
ever eqal'ed in the ring.
The mite of a girl, Dorothy Nell
Morris, the heavy-weight's adoD ed
daughter, was rescued from a motel
fire in Sapulpa, Okla. in which her
parents died. by Morris, who enter
ed the hotel as gas explosion start
ed the blaze.
Morris rushed into the building and
fought his way through flames and
smoke in the hotel office to the main
hal where he stumbled over the body
of a woman.
Half unconscious the woman thrust
baby into his arms and told him to
carry her to safety. After leaving the
child outside, Morris again fought his
way into the hall and carried out the
