BAPTIST PREACHERS
CHEER FOR HUGHES
Ministers Association Expresses
Pleasure at Fellow Church
mans Nomination

A tremendous ovation today was given
Charles Evans Hughes Republican presl-
Dental nominee, at a meeting of the Baptist
Ministers Association. in the First Baptist
Church, 9TH and SAMSON streets, when the
Rev II. l.. Newkirk, pastor Of the Wayne
Avenue Baptist Church, shouted: THANK
God our next President will be from the
Baptist Church
The storm Of applause which swept the
church seemed like an echo Of strenuous
convention days In Chicago. Many of the
ministers rose from their seats and clapped
their hands and everybody beamed with
enthusiasm. The ovation lasted two or
three Minutes and the chairipan made no
attempt to rap for order. II Is not expected
that the meeting will formally indorse the
candidacy of Mr.. Hughes, but a congrat-
ulatory message may be sent TO the
nominee.
All OF the Baptist ministers assembled
expressed their enthusiastic approval OF
the action of the convention. They IN
sisted however that they were not for
Hughes just because he was a Baptist, but
because he was a big man.
The Rev. W. H. Main. pastor Of Me-
mortal Baptist Church. said:
~ am in favor of Hughes because he is
u fine strong man. went to Colgate, the

WICKERSHAM SEES UNITY
RESTORED TO THE PARTY
No Reason for Hyphenate Elation Over
Hughes Choice, He Says

NEW YORK, June 12.--George w. Wick
ersham, with whom eX-JustIce Hughes is
expected to confer in New York today, said
last night that the action of Colonel Roose
welt in refusing the Progressive nomination.
If it was a permanent action, meant the
restoration of unity of the Republican
party
Colonel Roosevelt Is to he commended
upon his attitude said Mr.. Wckersham,
"Of course, | cannot tell what he will do,
but have sincere hopes that the Colonel
will lend his influence to the election of
Justice Hughes. And | think he will do so,
because the Colonel cannot mean that he Is
out of politics; the Colonel will never be
out of politics"
Mr.. WiclSersham. who probably will be
one of Justice Hughes campaign advisers,
was asked If he had any comment to make
on the clation of German Americans.
IF there is any such elation," he re-
piled, 81 can see only that it is based on
hope rather than any assurance. l could
read nothing in Justice Hughes message
of acceptance that would give German
Americans any special elation"
Ex-Governor Benjamin b. Odcll, who be-
longs to that faction of the State Repub-
licans which did not lead the fight for Mr.
Hughes nomination, said last night that
he thought the former Justice was a good
candidate, and that the withdrawal of Co
lionel Roosevelt made the success of the Re
publican ticket a certainty.

HUGHES CANDIDACY MEETS
FAVOR WITH LONDON PRESS

LONDON, June 12.-Comment of English
papers on the nomination of Justice Hughes
by the Republican party is generally in
favor of the Justice.
The Mail states that the nomination of
Hughes has at least divided the Progressive
party, and adds: THE Republican party
has put forth it's strongest candidate"
The Times sees in Hughes a candidate
who will receive both the APPRECIATION of the
Old Guard and the offshooting Progressives
of the G. o. p 1t characterzes Hughes as
ian uncompromising American, first, last
and all the time"
The Evening News finds that the war
comments of Hughes have been vigorous,
but complains because Of their vagueness.
Ellis statements are not surprising and
finnish good ground for Roosevelts dictum
that Hughes is like Wilson, except for his
whiskers," said the News; but if the party
unites, Wilson will find Hughes a formid-
able opponent"

very secluded kind Of life, was
seldom seen upon the streets Of the

forty years ago, and in the meantime
the town had changed from village

familiar face of the goddess of

some of the older coins, is
surrounded by the word liberty.

seize her by the throat, while the
date of coinage 1916, is underneath
where the ak glanced. On the
reverse side is the bundle Of sticks,
representing the strength of unity,
entwined with living branches, and
the ''E pluribus unum' is thrown
in on the nigh side in small type
and is surrounded with the United
States Of America One Dime. "
The new piece has the appearance
of being cut deeper than the older
coins. However it looks we'll on
the face of it. and for today or to-
morrow it will only take ten of them

Forty years ago this night Perry
was happy man. for tomorrow he
was to marry the beautiful Miss Mel

But that great factor In the events

wedding was to take place the bride
to-be was stricken with fatal illness
and less than a week later was laid
away in the village graveyard.
After the funeral Perry Fanchion
shut himself up. almost alone, IN the
great house. Time moved on and peo-
pie forgot! One by one his friends
left him. until at last he stood alone,
stranger in stranger world!
About this time the poorer people,
the destitute of the city, became aware
OF the fact that they had friend,

terious because, try as they might (and
did) they never could discover his

this occurred among the unfortunate.
but as to where these mysterious pres
ents came from, or by WHOM present
ed, none could ever tell. But the chill
dren suspected Santa Claus of having
q hand in the matter.
Tonight as Perry sat by the fire he
was very sad and very, very lonesome.
The town clock struck ten. Perry
arose, donned huge fur coat to
play his little act bravely. A worn,
tired smile played around his usually
grim mouth as he thought OF the scenes
of Joy and poverty he would witness
this night. He crossed the town with
