Army Officers Interested.

Army officers show interest in the sit
uation presented. in view of the fact
that during the tendency of the army
bill in Congress training camp associa-
tons urged the volunteer army provi-
sion. which was vigorously opposed by
officials of the National Guard here in
connection with army legislation.
The provision was stricken out of
the committee bill by the House on the
ground that it would tend TO impair
the efficiency of the National Guard.
The Senate retained it after a bitter
fight on the floor, but it was finally
lost in conference. where the bill, now
awaiting President Wilson's signature,
was framed.

Mr.. Hughes Friends Not Disturbed.

A dispatch from Washington quoting
Mr.. Hughes secretary as saying that no
one is authorized to speak for the justice
was sought to be capitalized by the allies
to the disadvantage OF Mr.. Hughes
friends, but the effect was neutralized
by the reiterated statement that no one
has sought to claim such authority. Mr..
Hitchcock, on his arrival last Monday,
as quoted in The Stars dispatch. dis
claimed craftsmanship for MIR. Hughes
and assumed individual responsibility for
his efforts Mr.. HitchcocN called atten-
ton today to his statement of Monday.
He is not disturbed over the dispatch of
TODAY. He is most careful in all his ref
erences to the possibility of nominating
Mr.. Hughes and as to his own connec-
ton with efforts to that end.

Congressman Are Restless.

Chicago will look like part of the
United States Capitol next week when
the members of Congress arrive" said
Mr.. Layln. In the sSenate and the
House the members are just itching to
get away. They want to see what is
doing Until a short time ago, many
members of Congress thought Justice
Hughes would be nominated. Now they
believe neither the Supreme Court jus
tice nor Col. Roosevelt will carry off
the prize. They are talking about a
compromise candidate. and inevita bly,
the talk turns to Senator Burton"
James Wilson of Iowa. former Secre-
tary of Agriculture, "Tama jim he is
called, now past the allotted three
score and-ten, who became Secretary
Of Agriculture in 1896, and who served
until the end Of the last administra-
ton, is here. THE republican party
will win the election in November If 1t
nominates the right kind of candi-
date" said Mr.. Wilson. ut is highly
important that the right kind be named.
Iowa has a candidate, a favorite son.
There is a big field to draw from-a
field of high minded men, and the con-
yention need make no mistake if it con-
siders seriously before 1t selects nom
inee. Senator Burton of Ohio l know
well. He is an able, Intellectual, pa
triotic statesman and would make
great President"

He would not talk about prcsidcn-
iial possibilities and he means II.
Moreover, hc will not let any one else

Justice Never Says Much.
Hughes always stuck TO what he

was that he said so damn little"

CHARLES EVANS HUGHES

come TO such wide attention in the
years he has spent on the bench. We
cannot estimate him by what he says.
for he says nothing. We must take
him by what he is, and that should be
satisfactory.
Has Clean Record.
i believe he Is the choice OF an
overwhelming majority OF this states
representatives. He is man Of pow
Oriul personality. with a record abso-
lutCly unimpeachablc, carrying the
confidence and respect OF the people
Of the state during his whole service
here. He Is n scholar and a lawyer.
lie Is 4 higl minded, COURAGEOUS. abso-
lutcly sincere. and thoroughly devot-
cd to tho CouHtry's best interests He
had four years Of executive experience
here, and ON the bench has had the
broadcast, finest training possible.
There is an overwhelming call for
him. To be sure. no one on the 30
Dreme bench should seek the nomlna-
ton. but II the people call for him
they ought to got him. He Is the best
man to return the Republican party
TO power, and the need Of suporscdtng
tho Democratic party Ia obvious"
Mnny Not Enthusiastic.
New Yorkers who have not been
warmed by the Hughes bonfire feel
that much Of this eulogy could DO
said about a number Of other persons
whom the presidential boo never np-
preached. There are n lot Of people
IN Now York who do not feel so en-
thuslasic. They admired the dGvo-
ton 10 principle which Hughes has
exhibited. but they question his tact
and diplomacy, traits which these
snmo people feci have beon most woe
fully lacking at Washington in recent
years.
''HuGhes was go upright that no
ached." one OF the old limo politicians
said. Not only did he avoid things
which were not altogether right but
he avoided sone which were right Just
because some one else might not I'M
derstand.

his deslrHbility in every descerniblo

governors objection was this. The
candidate had gone TO the Same col

afraid people would think he was
showing favoritism. Yea. he bends
over backward. and he's proud OF It"
Means What HG Says.
Executives who bend over back
