upon special and local issues of such
a nature that they might have en-
barrassed less able or honest cam
paigner. The result stamped his
methods of high strategic quality.
The governor had no fear of any
questioner, and it may be added they
differed but little from those that
now confront the country.
Believes in Preparedness.
Governor Hughes believed in pre-
paredness and was an earnest ad-
vocate of an adequate army and navy:
No man has higher conception OF
true Americanism. In one Of his
speeches he said:
I'VE are devoted to the interests OF
peace and we cherish no policy OF
aggression. The maintenance OF our
ideals is our greatest protection. 1t
is our constant aim to live in friend
ship with all nations, and to realize
the aims OF free government, secure
from the interruptions Of strife and
the wastes of war. 1t is entirely con-
sistent with these aims, and it is our
duty to make adequate ,rovision for
our defense ald to maintain the eff
cheney of our army and navy. This

commands all my energies. 1t is i'm
perative that continue it..
In the following summer In 1906,
the republican convention nominated
Mr.. Hughes for governor by acclama-
ton. His work in the insurance mat
tiers was at that time at an end, and
he accepted. He made an effective
campaign, covering the whole state.
He was elected in November, run
ming against William Randolph
Hearst although the rest OF the re-
publican ticket went down to defeat
The legislature, however, was repub.
lican.
The acceptance and inaugural
speeches Of Mr.. Hughes and his talks
in the campaign expressed promises
with respect to reforms in law and
administration which were unique in
meaning. though not in form. Such
promises had been made before by
candidates for public office, but they
differed in this: Mr.. Hughes not only
meant the promises when he volun-
tarily made them, but he carried them
out, after the election was over, in
letter and in spirit. In this respect
it may be said that his promise and
performance uniquely conceded. As
a New Yorker said: 1--WE know Mr..
Hughes has his convictions and does
not hesitate TO express them and
carry them out. Therefore we COM
mend to the country the expressions
Of belief and conviction found in the
speeches and papers Of Governor
Hughes"
In his first legislative session he
Omaha daily bee., 1916-06-11

recommended law creating a COM
mission to regulate public service
corporations, because he believed that
such corporations existed, not for ex-
ploitation by a few, but to render
safe adequate service at just and rea-
sonable rates, with proper equipment,
capitalized under proper regulations,
and with accounts uniformly kept and
accessible. ....
War Against Interests.
This, in New York, was a declara-
ton Of war on the control by vested
interests over legislative and admin
strative action. The legislature had
passed the Hughes bills on gas and
electricity and Insurance, but here
was a proposal that fixed restrictions
and regulations on all great utilities.
1t meant the end OF strike" legisla-
ton. 1t even prohibited passes. Legis-
lators began discussing the principles
involved in struggle between the
executive and the legislative, and de-
nounced the efforts of the governor
to impose" legislation on the law
making body. 1t looked like real
trouble, but Governor Hughes settled
It in characteristic way.
The governor appealed to the
"peopl.," setting forth in plain,
vigorous English his understanding OF
the law needed to protect the public
interests. The people responded and
their representatives in the legislature
were glad to pass public service
commi ,Jion law, which has since
come to be a model for enactmet by
ether states. To an observer Of the
day 1t was interesting to see the anger
of the legislators and politicians, be-
cause the governor did not attempt to
gain the legislation he wished by the
accepted methods, namely log rolling
and patronage. They objected to this
new-fangled idea of bringing the peo-
pie in. Hughes was breaking UP the
game nd introducing rev and un-
tried rules, the workings Of which
they coulL not foresee.
Gains Radical Reforms.
Hughes had thus, in less than
three years, gained for the public as
the result of his work as counsel and
Omaha daily bee., 1916-06-11

go 5ernor, radical reforms in insur-
ance and utility management and
control, and specific laws so reducing
lighting rates as to save millions OF
dollars to consumers in New York
City. Policy holders knew they had
security, and utility patrons knew
they were to have more immediate
avenues of relief than by laborious
efforts to gain legislative action on
local or specific evils. The influence
of these reforms was nation wide
They have been the outposts Of
sound standards for constructive re-
forms and legislation throughout
the country.
In spite of the wishes OF the party
bosses, Governor Hughes was re
nominated and reelected in 1908 In
that campaign it was fe. by his sup.
porters that while republican organi-
cation would devote itself to the usual
campaign work of a combined state
and national election, additional en-
phasis should be placed on the re-
election of Governor Hughes. Con-
sequently the Hughes alliance" was
formed, made up largely Of men from
professional and business life who had
not formerly been interested in poll
tics. That organization was most
striking illustration OF a fact which
was not realized and which seems not
enough to have been realized at the
present crisis. This was the extraor-
binary appeal Hughes had to that
great mass of voters, who for some
reason the political leaders are not
able tc appreciate. They are the
ones who read and think, and vote as
they think. They are not reached by
party machinery, and their views are
in consequence, not obtainable by
party captains and leaders. They were
and are for Hughes. From every
quarter the Hughes alliance received
aid. Eager to do its work were men
who had never before thought about
campaign. Money came in until there
was more than sufficient. Every
where among the thinking voters ex-
listed then and now an abiding faith
in Hughes.
Refused Patronage Offers.
The governor had not used patron
age for his own or anyone else's bene-
fit, and he refused the benefits of
patronage distributabie by others.
The appeal rested upon deep-seated
belief that he was thoroughly trained,
thoroughly honest and sincere, and
completely devoted to the interests
of his great client-the public.
His methods Of campaigning were
most effective. 1t has been said that
no other man is his equal. One of
the strong speeches of that campaign
was that of Governor Hughes in
Youngstown, o., where the eloquence
and cogent arguments of the great
New Yorker did much to turn the
tide in the middle western states
away from Bryan. This speech fixed
in the mind of the public the fact
that a statesman had arrived.

were made in his own state by the

attaining the mark reached before the
present conflict. He has had varied
and exacting experience in the draft

ton and execution of laws, and also
N their Interpretation.
Never Committed Himself.
1t was in the early administration
Of President Taft that MIR, Hughes
was named for the supreme bench,
Since that time he has had large
part in the deciding of many import
ant questions He refused through
out the long preliminary contest to
commit himself in any way. And he
took care, too, not to say that if
the burdens of party leadership were
laid upon him, without the slightest
effort on his part, he would decline
to take the honor.
Some forget the human side of
Judge Hughes. He has been des-
cribed as a political iceberg. Nothing
could be more untrue. His public
achievements have obscurcd the per-
sonal side of his character, but it IS
sufficient to say he has intense human
nature, keen love for his fellows, con-
sideration for the rights of others,
and all those other attributes that
go to make the great man To him
