the new commandant OF Delaware

cipline from the cadets as to drills.
and those who fail in this respect will
be properly punished which punish
ment Will probably be extra drill
periods. The new officer pointed out
that all cadets could make the work
easy by obeying orders and working
together with him. II they fail in

for him, but in return would make it
hard for them.

zens' clothes, but he took his position
in front Of the battalion and gave the
boys a heart-to-heart talk.
He stated that the military depart
ment was not second in importance to
any department in the college. He
pointed out OF what great benefit such

be in case OF war. Lieutenant Hoey
said the drill time would be one hour
after the last period Mondays, We'd
nesdays and Fridays. and that he would
expect and insist on every student be-
ing in his place for these drills.

in 1905. A bill to make gambling il
legal inside a racetrack fence, as well
as outside, was tabled, but Hughes
stumDed the state for his plan, and
the legislature had to fall in line,
which ended racing in New York as
we'll as in most other states. p.
Barnes opposition to Hughes de-
veloped while the latter was COVER
nor. Hughes simply wouldn't take
orders from Barnes, no matter how
the pill was sugarcoated; and Barnes
was mighty glad when the untractable
governor was 'shelved" on the su-
preme court.
Right up to the day of the Chicago
convention the Hughes boom was
made interesting by the question::
will Hughes take the nomination."
William Howard Taft came out for
the justice after seeing him in Wash
ingtOn, and this led to the conclusion
that Hughes would, if the call seemed
anything like unanimous.

of 1906 and in the fall of that year
he was elected governor Of New York
over Hearst.
At Albany he upset all precedents
that had grown up since !. Roosevelt
was governor, years beforehand
smashed some that antedated Roose-
welt. Nobody dictated Hughes APP
pointments but Hughes--and there
was no political expediency in his
choice of men.
Hughes life at Albany was filled
with pickering with republicans who
wanted to bend him their way. So
he resigned with pleasure to accept
President Taft's appointment of a SUI
preme court judgeship. He entered
the highest tribunal on October 10,
1910.

Defeated VIM. Randolph Hearst
for Governor of New York in
Spirited Campaign.

"That animated feather duster," a
term applied by his opponent, Vim. II.
Hearst, elected Chas. T. Hughes gov
ernor Of New York And even that
fatal mis-speech Of the New York edi-
tor changed the result by so slight a
margin that on election nigh Hughes,
believing he was defeated, said to his
wife:
my dear, congratulate you. You
have escaped two years of genteel
poverty at Albany
( 1t was a jest, of course, but still it
was Hughes to a r. He didn't par
ticularly want the Job and he didn't
particularly care if the people didn't
'.ant him to have it.
He didn't reward" the men who
had worked for his election-and in
fact there, weren't many. Hughes re-
garded their efforts as voluntary, I'm
dertaken without an eye to advance
ment or pat on the back. He didn't
requested their help. He never asked
favor That, also. is Hughes to a r..
He's not politician. He doesn't
like to kiss strange babies. When
President Taft sent him to the SUI
preme court Hughes took the job "for
life or good behavior to all ap-
pearance he has seemed perfectly
willing to stay there. True, he never
actually said II won't accept the nomi-
nation for the presidency il it is Of
fered to me"-and this fact was used
principally by the forces that didn't
want him nominated.
His middle nam which is Evans,
should be System-for that's the key
note of his life. He may have been
a mystery to the world at large, but
he never was mystery to Charles
Evans Hughes.
His father was Baptist minister;
Hughes himself looks something like
a preacher His whiskers aren't SO
sweeping now as they were when he
defeated Hearst for governor Of New
York: they're more orderly and sys-
tematic.
They used to refertto Hughes as an
icicle. but that isn't done any more.
People know he isn't. His emotions,
however are never on the surface.
He reads the Bible; he smokes, some
times, cigars and often a pipe; he is
no teetotaller. He likes hard work,
dogs and music. He's good deal of
a iokester I'M deaconish sort of way;
sometimes among his intimates he
grows almost boyish. Pete, a mongrel
dog, nearly always ate in the execu-
tive mansion dining room at albany
Some called Hughes narrow; but
they say in Washington that the jur-
list has broadened as his whiskers
have reduced their spread.
Hughes was born at Glen Falls, N.
Y, April II, 1872 He attended Col
gate university and got his degree at
Brown. He starteu practicing law in
New York city in 1884, where he mar
ried Miss Antoinette Carter in 1888.
He taught law at Cornell between
1891 and 1898, and was special lee
turer at the New York law school until
1900.
Hughes5 work as counsel for the
Stevens gas commission and the Arm
strong insurance commission before
the New York legislature in 1905 and
1906 focused the public eye on him.
and brought him the republican nomi-
nation for mayor of New York
WHICH HE DECLINED.
He kept on his investigating, being
special assistant to the United States
attorney general in the coal inquiry
