When he was on the bench of the Supreme
Court and knew that his name was being dis
cussed as candidate for President there was
no other course open to him but to refrain
from any discussion that would seem to en-
courage his candidacy, but above all, to re-
frain from discussing any matter that event
ualy might come before him justice For
this reason he refrained from making any pub
lie speeches. Political enemies have said, and
even persons who seemingly are friends have
limited, that his course of conduct while on
the Supreme Court bench while he was being
mentioned as a possible Presidential candidate
was a shrewd one, and those who not too
friendly have limited that, while silent, he was
really DESTROYS of the nomination.

WOULD HE CONTINUE TO PLAY
GOLF ON REACHING THE
WHITE HOUsE?. AN
SWER: A LAUGH.

Such is the man. What manner OF Presi-
dent will he be if elected? He laughed heart
lily the other day on the porch in Brdgehamp-
ton when the writer, framing the question
propheticay asked him if he would continue
to play golf when he was in the White House
Nominated on his record as a Governor and
his conduct as justice, the public at least has
little fear of the kind of President he will
make. To those in doubt his speech of ac-
ceptance will come, | imagine, as great
clarifer. Listening to his little confidential
talks for several days it was not difficult to
see how his mind was working He is as much
alive as any man in the country to the neces-
sity Of resurrecting the American ideal, and
his measures will not be words-one did not
need TO talk to him five minutes to know that
a fine phrase has not the slightest appeal TO
him unless it conveys the clearest thought.
He believes that in this crisis, and in the
great industrial and economic problems that
are to come after the war, the Republican
party is best fitted to work out the salvation
of the Republic; but it is a'really united Re-
publican party that he intends to lead party
true TO its greatest traditions but lberalized
and progressive, and, above all, American.

II was because of this restraint that even
men who were hurt in the process, men VINO
have every reason to look back on 1t most bit
terly. have still refrained from carrying their
animosity against the man who conducted the
investigation And it was because, in thai
time of sensation and rumor and nervousness
and worry. Mr. Hughes was steadfast to the
single idea of duty that those men, who came
thus to know him for the first time, pictured
him as a man of austerity and self-restraint,
and thus laid the foundation for the impress
sion that, as he himself says, comes and goes
with each political campaign. Every time
when he has gone out on the stump, as he dl"
in 1906 and 1908, he has found the impression
that he is an austere person disappear, but
the moment he gets back to his desk and
begins to apply himself to his work the single
ness of purpose and tenacity with which he
sticks to his job are deceiving to those who do
not understand the apparent aloofness that IS
far from being his true nature.
One of the things which most amused him
the other day as he sat on his porch at Bridge
hampton and analysed his own "austerity,
was the recollection of an incident which oc-
Cured when he was a candidate for Governor
in 1906. After he had made speech IN IN
unstate town a man called out to the audi
ence:
Just to show you that he is really human.

WASHINGTON IS SEEMINGLY A
POOR FIELD FOR ONE WHOSE
HOBBY HIGH ATTITUDES.

AS soon as he had any independence as
young lawyer his vacations, no matter how
brief were spent abroad. Then, one day he
visited Switzerland, and thereafter practically
every vacation that he could take was spent
in mountain climbing-it was his inspiration.
1t was interesting to hear his belief that the
dramatic turn of political events in Chicago
few weeks ago is going to work for the good
of the country and that out of it is going to
come patriotic harmony. The reunited Repub-
lican party, he believes, is not due as much to
the mere desire of two factions to come to-
gether for their mutual benefit as to the pa
triotic recognition of the needs of the country
men, no matter how bitter their personal
feelings, being forced to see that this situation
calls for sacrifices on the part of even the most
sensitive.
Prior to going down to Brdgehampton the
writer had talked to many men who had known
Mr.. Hughes for years, among them George w.
Wickersham, Charles H. Sheriff. and Everett
Colby and all commonly spoke not of their
friendship so much as of their affection
and knowing these men and their integrity the
writer was impressed with the fact that while
the public had known little of the personality
of Mr.. Hughes big men of various tempera-
ments had been strongly attracted and bound
to him.
Nearly all explained the fact that while the
public at large believed in Hughes and felt
that he was the man needed in this hour, his
personality remaining practically unknown
was due to the conditions prevalent during the
years he was Governor, when he was engaged
in a sharp fight that necessitated his moving
with great caution and delberation. 1t was
not time for being hail fellow well met and
his political opponents quickly spread the word
about Hughess GOODNESS"
When he arrived in Washington TO take up
his duties as a Supreme Court justice it was
said that he was like boy just out of school
at last he could be himself in his social hours
While avoiding public speeches, no one was
a more popular dinner guest in Washington
than Justice HugheS-his w.t. his well in
formed talk on large range of subjects, his
genality, once led that clever critic and
scholar, NJ. Jusserand, the French Ambassador,
to describe him as man of an ardent tenn

meets the representatives of the press.

gasp the significance of the visit; there is
short wait, never more than a moment or two,
and the door opens and out steps Charles Evan5
Hughes. late justice of the Supreme Court.
To say that his appearance is shock to the
man who has been reading about him for years,
but has never met him, is putting it mildly
Prepared to meet even an austere, or less,
dignifed ex-justice Of the Supreme Court, the
first sight of Mr.. Hughes is electrically pleas
ant. He is, above all things else, man who
is primarily social. He comes forward-comes
forward in more than a physical sense-with
smile and an anticipating CLEAN in the eye
that indicates his belief that the meeting is
going to be not only pleasant one, but the
beginning of at least some kind of friendship.
Photographs, sketches, etc, have familiar

The questioner had heard that Viscount
Bryce, an Alpinist Of distinction, had once re-
marked after meeting Justice Hughes of the
Supreme Court that few men in this country
knew the Alps as he did. This brought forth
the interesting statement that time and again
he has walked over almost every foot of the
road where Austria and Italy are now battling
in the Isonzo. The passion for travel, he ex-
planned, began when he was mere child, and
he recalled putting his hobby horse on box
in the garnet and with a book of travel in
hand, visiting places all over Europe without
ever leaving the garnet. When he was eleven
years of age he went abroad with his mother
and father for the first time and, knowing his
interest in travel, they allowed him to work out
the timetables and to pick out the places to be
visited, so that really he was in charge of the
trip.

THOUSANDS OF LETTERS FROM
PERSONS UNKNOWN TO HIM
HELPED HIM TO MAKE
UP HIS MIND.

No man who ever knew Mr.. Hughes has
carried away any such impression. He did
not want the nomination. and had conditions
in the country been different he would have
refused it. For more than year he had been
receiving letters from people who generally
began with the statement that they did not
know him, but pleaded that it was his duty to
accept the nomination, and pointed out that

tor took the youngsters political head, but

he believed Il was his duty, and were the con-
ditions other than they are, and the call less
demanding. would have refused the nomination
without hesitation.
We begin with his alleged "austerity," and
it was a memorable thing to see this keen IN
tellect. an intellect that brought to mind Walter
Pater's phrase about the aesthetic charm oil

Laughingly he tells you now
that a good detective story APP
peals to him, despite all his in
tellectual activity, and that dur
ing all his hard working periods
while Governor of New York he
reread all the works Of Dumas
p6re. His taste for reading was
cultivated by his father, of
whom ne gives an interesting
sidelight. His fathers father
was a printer and publisher in
Wales. When the male parent
of the candidate was a young
minister in Wales he read Ben
jamin Franklin's autobiography
and was so stirred by it that he
came TO this country to be an
American.
Not, mind you, to become
wealthy or to become famous,
but to be an American, and the
present head of the Hughes
family says that he was the
most American American he
ever knew.
He brought with him a large
library, and the candidate re-
members as boy catalogueing
his books and keeping the cata-
logue up to date, and when he
was a mere lad so well had he
done this job that his father
sent him to the library Of
friend to make a catalogue there.
During the time he was estab-
fishing himself as a lawyer he
had little time for general read
ing. The capacity for hard
work that distinguished Mr..
Hughes as a lawyer and Gov
ernor was shown when he was a
young law clerk, winning $500
scholarship that necessitated
holding two quizzes a week. He
took on two extra quizzes a
week, gave the three remaining
evenings a week to preparation
and did as much clerking in the
daytime as anybody else in the
Office in which, he worked. ..
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-07-23

the country wanted him. Thousands of these
letters were received. Finally he came to the
conclusion that if there were this desire to
have him nominated the evidence would be IN
the action of the convention in which he was
not an active candidate and in which it could
not be said that he had any representation.
Several times he was asked to write letters
saying that he refused TO be nominated. This
he believed he had no right to do, and IN his
own mind he was prepared to abide by the
action of the convention and to take its final
vote as evidence as to whether not he was
wanted A week or so before the convention
assembled it was suggested to him that there
should be some one in Chicago to represent
him. some one who knew his views confden-
italy; but he refused to appoint any such am
bassador, on the ground that it would be seek
ing the nomination, and on the further ground
that if he really was wanted the convention
would nominate him without consulting him.
1t is an interesting thing to learn that on
the Friday before he was nominated (the NOM
ination took place on Saturday, Mr.. Hughes
was certain that he would not be nominated.
And he accepted the verdict, as it seemed TO
be set forth in the newspaper reports, with
perfect content.
It was during his sophomore year at Brown
University that he first began his omnivorous
reading, history, biography travel, ETC., that
has marked his hours and days of relaxation

with infinite humor discuss the
impression that had been Great
ed by the force of circumstances
The recollection of a cartoon
printed when he was first beng
spoken of as a candidate Tor
Governor, depicting him as ar
irving from Europe in July
with a ship laden with icicles'
evoked the heartiest laugh.
And he has a hearty laugh,
has this candidate. Before the
Ides of October it will be. as
famous as the Roosevelt teeth
and the Taft smile.
Up to the time that ne mad
become counsel for the Arm
strong investigating committee
Mr.. Hughes was little known u
the public, and not in his own
mind nor in the minds Of his
friends was he ever pictured
as austere.
But in that introduction to
the public he found himself IN
an unusual and most difficult
nosition. He was dealing with
men who were all experts, men
of great ability who found them
selves under attack. AS counsel
and examiner it was his FIRST
duty. and the very first essen
tial, that he prepare himSeii
with the greatest care-tht
slightest error would have been
fatal. the merest indication that
he had any desire other than tc

vestigation with sensations ex-
treme caution was necessarJ
that sensation for sensations
sake must never be permitted
and the seriousness of the IN
vestigation obligated the man II

sonality, to eliminate witty sal
lies or in any way give vent to
opinions of his own.

A NEW AND UNUSUAL TYPE OF
MAN IN AMERICAN Ma
TIONAL POLITICS.

Yes. but lightly etched in these semi-social
moments, though still there in the superabun-
dant determination and the intellectual quiet
with which he ignores some intrusive ques-
ton. The intellectual force that brought
about his undesired nomination is as much
evident as are his social qualities and his ardent
desire to meet his fellow men at least half
way. But there is no apparent interest IN
dominating; there is little pride of intellect;
there is little pride, one would say, in express
sion-a complex kind of man, unquestionably
an unusual and a new type in American pol'-
ties.
HE attitude toward life and politics is best
explained by himself-but of that anon. GALL
ing twice a day for several days IN group
was much like laying the groundcloth for the
later scene. when after several days of wait
ing the candidate gave the desired AUDIENCE
and for an hour or so sat on the same porch and
talked quite frankly-about himself.
He was willing to "sit for portrait, ano
