A PICTURE OF HUGHES.

The New York World, which once
was outspoken in it's admiration for
Mr.. Hughes, now declares that the
people do not know where Hughes
stands, or what he stands for. This
Wilson organ had no such criticism
to make when Mr.. Hughes was gov
ernor. The World said on May H.
1910: HE dictated no nominations.
controlled no convention, trafficked III
no patronage, made no bargains with
office holders. He has rewarded no
body for supporting him and punished
nobody for opposing him. What in
fiuence he has welded over public
opinion has come through his appeals
to- the voters themselves" That is
the estimate Of Mr.. Hughes given by
the World six years ago. 1t is a
pretty fair letter Of recommendation
Could the World say as much for
President Wilson? Hardly, for the
president has done all of the things
from which the World absOlvef
