WASHINGTON, ID. G.. May 5.-That
there is a precedent for the acceptance by
Justice Charles +. Hughes of the noInina-
tion for the presidency, and even for his
seeking such honor, is the claim of veteran
republican leaders who are friendly toward
the boom for the supreme court Justice A
student of political history explains the
precedent thus:
''In view of the opinions expressed re-
Gently in the press and elsewhere To the
effect that no member of the supreme court
of the United States should be candi-

political party for the presidency. il may
be well to recall the fact that Justice Nc
Lean of that court was an avowed candi-
date for the nomination by the republican
national convention that met in Phladel-
phia IN June, 1856. Justice Mclean had
beer a cabinet officer under Monroe and
John Quincy Adams, and was appointed to
the supreme bench by jackson, where he
served for thirty-one years with great
credit, for he was a man of fine abilities

accept it. lie wrote 4 letter May 13 to
Lewis CaS~. and three weeks later he

and the country on the slavery question.

meeting of the convention.

"On the informal ballot taken before
the nomination was actually made, General
Fremont received $50 votes. Justice Me

though Mr.. Lincoln was not candidate

agreed upon all sides that in point ~

NIGHT ATTACKS
 ARE MADE IN SHIRTS

BERLIN, Feb. 4. - The Russian general staff reports have frequently mentioned night attacks in which the soldiers wore their shirts over their uniform coats. A majority of the readers have puzzled in vain for an answer to why this should be done, and have assumed that it was to help make the attacker invisible against the snow.
 Captain Bethold Walter, of the Ger man army, now comes forward with the explanation. The shirts are worn, not to conceal the wearers, but rather so that the attackers may be able 10 distinguish each other in the dark ness and the conflict of battle. The custom also is not new, but historical ly old.
