Hughes Strength a G. O. P. Asset.

That certain in the Republican party
known the "Old Guard" are convinced that
they have made improbable, if not impossible,
the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt by the
national convention and are engaged in
making plans to prevent the nomination of JUS
tice Hughes is statement that has frequently
appeared in print within the past week or so.
The source of the information is not disclosed,
bat the we'll known fact that the "Old Guard"
does not want Justice Hughes candidate is
sufficient foundation for the report, if it is
not accepted either proof or as corroborativc
evidence.
If it be true that an clement in the party is
seeking to thrust Justice Hughes aside it is dis
playing a confidence in the result of the election
next November that may be dangerous. Scarcely
any one longer refuse to recognize that Jus
tice Hughes is the strongest man the Rcpubi-
cans place at the head OF their ticket; log-
cally therefore the men who planning for his
rejection must believe that candidate polling
smaller number of votes than Justice Hughes
would command can defeat President Wilson.
The Hughes boom is the most remarkable
political development Of the past s& eight
months. Apparently it originated spontaneous
Ily with the people generally, and being con-
fined to section il represents today the
most valuable tangible asset of the Republican
about its growth and expansion. The steadily
increasing demand for the Justice is solid, sub
stantal. earnest. As the people Of Vermont
emphasized their preference for him Col
Roosevelt on Tuesday, the people of Oregon
pronounced him their first choice overwhelmingly
on Friday. That the inspiration OF the Hughes
sentiment cannot be satisfactorily defined does
not matter. The important fact is that that
sentiment is represented today in serious and
substantial demand for him as President OF the
United States. The "OlG Guard is represented
be denied by the nominating conventions but
even if the delegates may thus be controlled tho
wisdom OF such course is more than question
able. It may be argued with force that Mr.
Root possesses superior Presidential qualities
and would iu every way prove more salts
factory in the White House; but there arc few
who will contend that he could poll as many
votes as Justice Hughes Siucc it is sheer folly
TO assume that it will be easy to defeat Prcsi-
dent Wilson, it would seem to be equally foolish
for the Republicans to name any but the strong
est available man to oppose him.
1t is not extra hazardous therefore to predict
that, when serious consideration is given at
Chicago to the choice OF a candidate, any con-
tcmplatcd attempt to oppose the popular demand
will be abandoned. Nor IS it at all improbable
that should the "Old Guard" persist in trying TO
sidctrack Justice Hughes, it will meet with signal
defeat. Every sign in the political horizon indi-
Gates that President Wilson's opponent will step
from the Supreme Court bench TO give him bat

Sunday has his faults, and some of them are
very unpleasant. When he gets the platform
he often loses control and says things that he

If Sunday himself were to try and explain
whethcrr he completely sincere or not he
might be sorely puzzled. He certainly is not
too sincere to calculate some Of his effects He
has an actors understanding of an audience.
He knows the value Of contrast. Fc has a
marvellous skill in blending pathos and humor

his power lies, not so much in what he does
