The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-07-27
BY BASIL M. MANLY

Hughes on the great economic and
social questions that determine the
welfare of the American nation and
the liberties of the citizens Of Amer
lea?
Since his nomination Hughes has
made a number of public statements,
but except gor a CleaT-Cut endorse
ment of high protective tariff and
some very indefinite statements re-
garding the desiTabliity Of general
welfare legislation, he has confined
himself to the verbal exposition Of
his "AmeTicanism.
This question of his real attitude
is the one to which above all others
the American people should have an
accurate, unbiased answer. Not only
is this the most important campaign
since the days of Lincoln, but there
is an even more important reason
why in the case of Hughes the exact
truth is vital
The American people have, at the
urgent insistenCe Of Theodore
Roosevelt, already chosen one pres
ident, VIM. Howard Taft, from the
federal bench and later overwhelm-
ingly repudiated him for his reac-
tionary subserviency to big business.
They are now asked, again by
Roosevelt, to choose another presi-
dent from the federal bench. The
question must therefore be asked
is Hughes another Taft?
Fortunately the answer to this
question can be given, free from all
bias, by an analysis of Hughes rec
ord as a justice Of the U. S. supreme
court. This is the best possible test,
for during the six years since Hughes
was appointed to the supreme court
by Taft nearly every important eco
nomic and social question has had
to be considered, either directly or
indirectly by this court.

The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-07-27

analysed Taft's decisions as a federal
judge, exalting the rights Of proper
ty above human rights, instead Of
accepting the encOmiums of ROOse-
welt upon Taft as the great progress
sive, there can be little doubt that
there would have been no Payne
Aldrich tariff and no Ballinger scan
dial.
In making This analysis of Hughes
record in the supreme court I have
taken every case in which he deliv-
cred the opinion of the court or dis
sented, all of the cases in which he
cOncUrTed with the majority of the
court against a dissenting opinion,
and the most important cases in
which he participated in the unani-
nous opinion of the court. Alto
gether 219 cases are involved, of
which Hughes personally wrote
either majority or minority opinions
in 148.
In these cases his opinions on mo-
nopolies, labor, public utilities, rail-
road rates, public lands and all the
other big questions about which the
people have been in conflict with
privilege, are clearly revealed. They
are the true index of his views and
must override any statements of
policy which he may make in the
vote-getting excitement of the cam
paign.
What do these decisions show?
They show that
During his entire six years on the
supreme bench, Hughes dissented
from the majority of the court 20
times out of the 1 Alp opinions hand
ed down during that period. Thus in
81 cases out of 100 he stood on the
platform with the other Justice. In
four cases he wrote his own dissent
ing opinion. In the other hundreds
Of cases he either went with the ma
jority or cOncurred in the dissent Of

Supreme Court yesterday 60 set aside
the alleged last will of her grand
father. John Fox. former Senator and
for a long time president Of the Ma
tional Democratic Club. MIR, Fox died
ON January Is. 1914. II is alleged the
politician was pf unsouud mind when
he made the will already probated and
was under the undue influence Of Mrs
katharine ONricn. n niece OF his late
wife. or Of some other person. This
will was executed about two months
before the death Of Mr.. Fox.
Four other wills made by Mr.. Fox are
In existence. and IL is the contention
OF Miss Fox that they gave her and
her father. John Fox. jr., n larger share
Of the estate than the probated will
did. Il "a asserted that tho estate left
by Mr.. Fox had a value OF more than
100000 although the transfer tax ap-
prsisal placed the value at about $780,
coo less than this figure.

What to do with them was the ques-

caught sight of her handkerchief lying
near the jewels. She wrapped them
up in a piece Of tissue paper, then tied
the little package in the handkerchief
and dragged step ladder into her
bedroom. On top Of the window cas-
ing behind carved scroll work she
dropped the bit of linen with its vslu-
able contents.
There they stayed until yesterday
when the steam pipe in Mrs. Bomzon's
bedroom began 70 leak. She sent for
