Not since the days of George
Washington has the idea that "the
office should seek the man and NOT
the man the office" been so clearly
illustrated as it is by the final bal
lot of the Republican national con-
vention. The nomination # Justice
Hughes was as great an honor as
has ever been conferred upon an
American citizen. 1t has come TO him
unsolicited and because Justice
Hughes was absolutely alo,f from
tie great feud which split the party
asunder in 19l2.-New York Fera'd.
Mr.. Hughes will not be elected.
His defeat is to be desired among
many other reasons. for this good
and sufficient reason that the in
vasion of the supreme courts cham
ber by needy politicians in search of
a leader, now for the first time in
American history successfully ac-
complished, may be rebulSed and made
a precedent too dangerous for follow
ing.-New York Times.
There can be no doubt concerning
the outcome of the campaign. No
matter what action may be taken by
the so-called Progressivcs it will
prove negligible, because they no
longer have party nor an organi-
zation. 1t is not impossible that
few who have identified themselves
with antagonism to Republican
principles may assume that the con-
tinuane of the Progressive party IS
desirable, but vast majority OF
those formerly connected with the
movement will act on the declaration
of their erstwhile leader that is is
vitality necessary, t. dsteat wilson

Common sense and common patri-
otism have triumphed at Chicago
in the nomination of Charles u.
Hughes. 1t is the best that could
have been made. 1t is a selection
that does honor to the American
electorate and affords new vindica-
ton of the sustained power of our
great democracy.-Boston Herald.
The Republicans have placed in
the field an excellent ana well bal
anced ticket, which will command
the respect of all citizens. Both of
the candidates have lived in the
light of public knowledge for years
They are honorable, clean and un.
questionably Americans in every

The people will look forward to the
