Hughes from the moment the first
ate-Alabama-was called upon. He
was given 949h; Roosevelt, 1917; Du-
Pont, S. Weeks, 3; Lodge, Z, and La
Toilette, 8.
The nomination of Hughes came
after the Republicans had turned
down the proposal Of Col. Theodore
Roosevelt that United States Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge be named as a
compromise candidate.
It preceded by few minutes the
the nomination Of Roosevelt by the
Progressive party national convention
in the Auditorium theater.
John M. Parker of Louisiana was
named by the Progressives as their
candidate for vice president.
BY the time New Jersey was called
on the roll of states, Hughes had
polled majority of the votes Of the
convention.
The nomination of the New York
man was the signal for wild out
burst in the Coliseum-the scene Of
many wild outbursts in the last few
days.
Choice Made Unanimous.
Chairman Harding announced the
nomination of Hughes, and Alex. P.
Moore of Pittsburgh and Senator
Lodge, who voted for Theodore Roose-
welt, moved to make 1t unanimous.
The nomination was made unani-
nous with a roaring chorus Of ayes"
and not a single "No."
Senator Lodge made an eloquent APP
peal for Hughes in seconding the
motion for unanimity.
New Mexico nominated Fairbanks
for vice president. Governor Willis
of Ohio seconded Fairbanks.
Nebraska was the next state to re-
spond and H. H. Baldridge nominated
former Senator Burkett.

ana was nominated on the first bal
lot as the vice presidential candidate
Of the Republican party.
The fact that Roosevelt had been
nominated by the rival convention, in
no wise dampened the ardor or the
enthusiasm of the Republican dele
gates.
AS soon as the presidential nomina-

Fairbanks, Burton, Weeks, Root, Sher-
man, La Toilette, Cummins and one or
two others were advertised by noisy
supporters. Roosevelt men-Progres-
sives and progressive Republicans
were at 1t early and late. They prob
ably made the greatest racket. Mr..
Hughes was unrepresented by merry
makers.
Career of Justice Hughes.
Charles Evans Hughes fame rests
principally on his conduct of the in
surance investigation and his career
as governor Of New York state.
An iron will, incorruptible charac.
ter and remarkable reasoning ability
are characteristics commonly attrib
uted to him.
Mr.. Hughes was born at Glens Falls,
N. Y, April II, 1862, the son of a
Welshman who had come to this coun-
try in 1855.
He graduated from Brown univer-
sity in 1881.
In 1882 he entered Columbia Law
school, New York city. He was grad
uated two years later at the head Of
his class and became member of the
New York bar.
In 1888 he entered the law firm Of

First Attracts Attention.
He first attracted newspaper atten-
ton in 1905, when he became counsel
for the Stephens gas investigating
committee. Mr.. Hughes uncovered
the ramiications of the gas and cleo
trio light monopoly of the metropolis
and later assisted in framing several
legislative bills to bring relief to bad
conditions he had discovered.
In the same year started the IA
nous :::teo insurance investigation.
When asked to take up the work OF
counsel to the investigating commit
tee Mr.. Hughes declined, except on
condition that he be given free rein
and allowed to handle the probe
thoroughly.
The investigation lasted four months
and resulted in revolution in insur-
ance methods.
In the autumn of 1906 Mr.. Hughes
was elected governor of New York
state by the Republicans. In 1910
President Taft appointed Mr. Hughes
an associate Justice CT the Supreme
court and he took Office on October I
of that year.

"Oyster Bay, June 10, 1916"
The convention, after naming Col.
John M. Parker of Louisiana for vice
president by reclamation, following
the withdrawal from the field of Ray
mond Robins and Gov. Johnson of
California, adjourned sine die.
National Committee Meets.
The national committee of the Pro
gressive party, to which was referred
Roosevelt's message, conditionally de-
clining the nomination, held a four
hour session after the national con-
vention adjourned sine die.
They discussed T. RS message, and
decided not to continue the negotia-
lions with Roosevelt at this time. They
adjourned to meet again in Chicago
on June rs, at which time reply will
be made, if at all, to the Oyster Bay
message.
Four Tickets, Says Murdoch.
Chairman Murdoch said he expected
four tickets in the field this fall--Re-
publican, Democratic, Progress sive and
a hyphenated Prohibition Pacifist
ticket with Bryan and Ford backing it.
While some of the Progressive lead
ers have a faint hope that Roosevelt
vet will lead their ticket, they said
they have other timber" if he quits.
They mentioned Clifford Pinchot, Gov.
Johnson, and John M. Parker, whom
they nominated for vice-president.

are not interested in politics, let him answer the
telephone calls in The Palladium office on cleo

women were watching the sensationally close
race between Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. Wilson. They
kept the telephones busy and they wanted de-
tailed information about the electoral standing,

"Yes, yes" remarked Whitney, with

Tangible Results at Dayton.

On January /, 1914, Dayton adopted the COM
disadvantages plan of city government. The
system provided for professional, nonpolitical
chief executive, called City Manager, to take the
place of the transient amateur political mayor"
The Dayton system in nutshell is-The people
elect the council or commission Of five members
the commission hires City Manager; the City
Manager appoints the department heads.
When the new system went into effect, here's
what confronted it:
Local politicians in positions where experts
were needed.
No budget system
A bonded debt Of 100000.
A floating debt of unpaid bills and Expenditures
in excess of income-$125000.
insufficient water supply.
Only part Of garbage collected.
Sewer system at fault.
Social service work unsystematic.
Here are some of the things that have been
accomplished since Amateur Mayors gave way to
a City Manager:
Financial control perfected so that the Man
ager knows at the close of each day the exact
state of municipal funds.
Purchasing agent buys all municipal supplies,
which have been standardized.
Expert municipal engineer hired. Instead Of
increasing water rates to pay for new equipment,
improvements were made and the water works
are now paying $4,000 year profit. The cost
of collecting garbage was reduced from $249 a
ton in 1918 to SLIGO in 1915. The cost Of ash and
rubbish removal was reduced from 438 cents a
cubic yard in 1914 to SO cents in 1915.
In 1918, nine men made 1862 sanitary in
spections and in 1915 four men made $4,000.
