Country Satisfied, Says the
Wisconsin Senator.

MADISON, Wis, July 1.-The nom
nation of Mr.. Hughes will be accept
able to the great body Of the progress

so many Republicans Of all elements
could have been joined in support"
This is the statement of Senator
Robert NJ. LaIollette, of Wisconsin
lndorsIng the candidacy Of Charles b
Hughes for president. 1t is published
in LaFolette's magazine. The sena-
tor condemns the platform adopted
at Chicago, discussing the planks IN
detail.
EHe was not the choice Of the re-
actiOnary element" continues Senator
I,aFollette in discussing Justice
Hughes, (which framed the platform
and otherwise controlled the conVen'
ton. 1t is a source Of hope and en-
couragement that his selection came
in response to the lnslstent. demand
of the masses Of Republicans for can
didate on whom the party might rea'
sonably unite and agree.
"The choice Is not unlike that Of
BENJAMIN Harrison after the first
Cleveland administration. Hughes Is
somewhat of the type of man thai
Harrison was, but with more warmth
and personal magnetism. He is able
independent, fearless and possessed
Of high civic spirit. There Is no ques'
ton Of his personal and political inte-
gritty. He will go as far as his con-
vlctions carry him and no Interior In
fluences can stop HIM"
