ton OF partisan requirements and we
presented to the world humiliating
spectacle OF ineptitude. Belated efforts
have not availed to recover the infiu-

sacrificed and brave words have been
stripped Of their force by indecision."

Glens Falls, New York, April IL, 1862.
making him four years younger than

younger than President Wilson.

fellowship from 1884 TO 1887.
After short experience as an edu-
Gator and as a law clerk, Mr. Hughes

was later elected governor OF New
York and resigned his office, in his
second term, when appointed to the
supreme court bench by President
TAFT.

toinnette, daughter OF Walter S. Car
ter, and had four children, Charles
Evans Hughes, Jr., Helen, Catherine
and Elizabeth Hughes.
Though in official life Hughes has
been known as hard worker, In pri-
vate life he is buoyant. fond of books
of all kinds. music and golf, besides
being a mountain climber who has
been over most of Switzerland on foot.
Charles Warren Fairbanks, who was
vice-president during the administra-
ton of Theodore Roosevelt, was not

Out Of Politics, SAYS Colonel.

Oyster Bay, N. Y.-When Colonel
Roosevelt summoned the newspaper
correspondents to Sycamore Hill at 6
o'clock Saturday night he told them he
had tentatively refused the Progress
sive nomination for the presidency,
and that he had nothing to add to
what he had said In his telegram to-
the convention at Chicago In regard
to his present position.
He told something, however, of the
steps which led up to his message
earlier in the day suggesting that Re
publicans and Progressives unite on
Senator Cabot Lodge as a compro-
mise candidate. AT o'clock Satur-
day morning, he said one Republican
and two Progressive conferees on the
Joint conference committee called
him over the long distance telephone
to explain the situation as 1t then
stood.
Colonel Roosevelt informed them at
that time that he intended to suggest
the Joint nomination OF Senator
Lodge. All three conferees, he said.

such step would be satisfactory. He
declined to name the Republican
member OF the committee, other than
to say he had been supporter OF JUS
tice Hughes.
On Sunday Theodore Roosevelt re-
iterated that he was 'out Of politics."
Il want to tell you newspaper men,
he said, that it's of no muse for you
TO come up here to see me. will
have nothing to say. will answer
no questions. So please don't ask
me to. | am out of politics"
If the former president has any
plans for the immediate future other
than TO continue his literary work.
he has not made them public.
Colonel Roosevelt attended church
services In the village Sunday after
noon with Mrs. Roosevelt. but re-
manned in seclusion at Sycamore Hill
the rest Of the day. The telegraph
wires Saturday night and Sunday
brought a food OF messages to Col.
onel Roosevelt.

Chairman Raymond Robins read to
them brief message from Oyster
Bay in which Mr.. Roosevelt declined
to accept the nomination at this time.
Few OF the thousands in the vast
auditorium, some of whom had seen
the colonel named in an even wilder
burst OF enthusiasm four years ago,
realized when Robins raped his
gavel at 4:5S and declared the con,
vention adjourned sine die, that In a
few hours, or a few weeks, they
might be a party without the one
leader to whom they had come TO
Chicago to give the pledge Of loyalty
and faith.
The significance of Colonel Roose-
velt's message with its announcement
that II the Progressive national com.
mittee found the subsequent state
ments Of Charles Evans Hughes, the
Republican standard-bearer, TO its lilt-
ing. his non-acceptance of the Pro-
gressive nomination should stand as
his last word. was lost in that tired
throng, worn out by its own enthu-
siasm, by long delays over peace par
leys with the Republicans and by the
discussion of platform on which it
must go into the field. II at all,
against both the forces of Democracy
and Republicanism.
None OF the feeling that some OF
them later betrayed when they had
opportunity to digest the colonels
statement. had time to fare out when
the gavel fell. They trooped out into
Chicago's streets for home while the
band played family and the flags that
had Haunted so proudly through all
the stormy sessions were folded and
the banners put away.
Before they left the hall the dele
gates remembered one of the essen
tials OF campaign In response to
the spur of the leaders they promised
more than $4,000 to carry on the
fight. 1t was pledged In enthusiasm,
and the contributions tunibled in al.
most as fast as they could be re.
corded.
The only protest OF the day came a
few minutes before the leaders read
the announcement from Colonel
Roosevelt when William Finn OF
Pittsburg proposed the adoption OF a

Root is Satisfied.

Elihu Root, commenting on the
nomination OF Mr.. Hughes said: 1T
is plain that Mr.. Hughes has been
nominated because a great mass OF
the rank and file Of the Republican
party-the constituents of the dele
gates-considered him the best man
and wanted him for their candidate,
He is able, experienced, courageous,
high minded, and American to the
core. He will be loyal to the plat
form upon which he has been nomi-
anted, and with which 1 am sure
he agrees. am confident that he will
be elected and will be a president
Of high quality. competent to deal

ing Immediately after the convention
adjourned late Saturday, authorized
the appointment of a subcommittee
to confer with Charles e. Hughes,

the new executive committee. Later
the executive committee will select
a chairman, secretary, treasurer and

What he thinks OF the administra-

as follows:
