Republican Opinion of Hughes.

The genuine Republican opinion
of Charles Evans Hughes was written
by the late Thomas Collins Plat in
his Autobiography" and this is
how the then Governor of New York
appeared to the Easy Boss
"As for Hughes, he is too much
of an idealist to suit me. | have
never had any use for man who,
after accepting honors from his par
ty. assumes to be bigger and better
than the party and strives to wreck
1t. I never saw so much tyranny
and intolerance as | have witnessed
in Hughes. While pretending to
fight bossism, he developed during
his first term as the greatest boss
that ever sat in the Executive Cham
ber."

1 THINK I THUNK A LIE.

used to think when I was young
And my heart free from guile
That there was grief in every teal
And Joy in every smile;
And friendship was not all a cheat
And love could never die;
But thinking now of what I thunk
think / thunk a lie.
used to think about myself,
And think that | could be
A Governor or a President
Or a General like Lee;
But have waited long in vain
While years rolled slowly by,
And thinking now of what | thunk,
think | thunk lie.
| used to think the ladies were
All sweetness sure combined,
That they were all Gods last and
best
OF perfectness refined;
That they were not half pads and
paint,
But angels from on high;
But thinking now of what | thunk,
think | thunk a lie.
The preachers, too, used to think,
Were not like other men,
And were not tempted of the flesh
And could not therefore sin.
But since I've Travelled round a bit,
I've watched them on the sly,
And thinking now of what | thunk.
l think I thunk a lie.
The honest tiller of the soil,
When marketing his crop,
Takes pains to put the ripe and best
'as Always upon the top;
| used to think these honest men
Would never cheat or try,
But thinking now of what l thunk,
| think thunk lie.
The editors. lordly set
Who live on milk and honey,
They've nothing else on earth to do |
But write and rake in money; |
Leastwise that way used to think,
But now it makes me cry.
To think about the way I thunk
And how thunk a lie.
What noble men the doctors are!
/ used to think they came
From heaven or some heavenly land,
And worked for love and fame;
That they could cure all human ills,
And never let us die;
But thinking now of what | thunk,
think thunk a lie.
rhe lawyers, too. used to think
Oh. God forgive the thought
That their convictions of the right
Could not by knaves be bought.
That they would not client rob
Or SELL him on the sly;
But thinking now of what thunk,
think thunk lie.
The dry goods men are honest, too,
They swear they sell at cost;
used to think they told the truth,
And all their profits lost;
thought yard was full three
feet
Don't ask my reason why
tut thinking now of what | thunk,
think l thunk lie.
he niggers. too, ! used to think,
II they were all set free,
Would make good honest citizens
Like white folks used to be,
Tut they have wandered far from :
