A committee friendly to the race in

But Hughes "got his dander up He
stumped the state for his plan. Killed
at a regular session of the legislature,
it was later revived at a special ses-
sion and finally forced through by the
vote of sick senator who was car
ried into the chamber on stretcher.
Hughes was first mentioned for the
presidency eight years ago. He stead
fastly refused to be even a receptive
candidate. Four years ago he like
wise declined to take any interest in
politics. Two years ago his name
first began to be mentioned as a Re-
publican candidate against Wilson.
