(Siened) "CHARLEs E. HUGHES"
When copies of both kilograms to
Chicago and the letter of resignation
had been made public, Mr.. Hughes
left his home for his customary after
noon walk. Soon after his return
Lawrence Green, his private secre-
tary, told him of Colonel Roosevelt's
conditional declination of the Pro-
gressive nomination. Mr.. Hughes sent
word to inquirers that he had moth
ing to say concerning it. His friends,
however, were outspoken in their
satisfaction over Colonel Roosevelt s
attitude.

INTERNATIONAL
OPERATIc COMPANY.

One of the most pretentio of
musical ensembles and topliner of
the Chautauqua, is the International
operate Company, a composite of
individual artistic distinction, each
member having won an incontestable
place i'm the hearts of all discriminate
ing lovers of opera, oratorio and con-
cert work. The personnel of this
company, is, in itself a positive
guarantee of quality not open to
question: Tekla Farm, late prima
donna soprano with Madame Schu-
mann Heink in Loves Lottery;
Rose Heidenreich, who recently
scored her most brilliant triumph
with the National Grand Opera Com
pany throughout it's extended Chicago
engagement; J. Allen Grub, tenor,
with an unbroken record of excep-
tional success marking his appear
ance with the principal opera COM
panies in the prominent cities of
America; Burt McKinnie, for many
years leading baritone with Savage's
Grand Opera Company, and Margaret
Day, an accompanist with that rare
delicacy of taste which gives the
exact amount of support, and no
more Her work both as accompanist
and soloist, is captivatingly excellent.
Richly costumed in the appropriate
vesture of the parts which they
picturize, their appearance alone be-
fore an audience irradiates the per-
sonal charm of irresistible attractive
ness.
The International Operatic Com
pany feature character, folk songs
and selections from the best of the
modern popular operas. Unless other
wise requested they will present at
the evening performance either the
second act from Martha" or "The
Sleeping Queen, complete and
charmingly delightful opera, both
with respect to music and libretto.

WORK WELL DONE.

The National Republican conyen-
ton at Chicago did its work well.
With Charles Evans Hughes of New
York and Charles Warren Fairbanks
of Indiana, as acknowledgements of the
party, and with reunited Republi-
can party behind them, the cam
paign of 1916 will have but little re-
semblance to that of 1912. We are
assuming of course-because it now
seems more than probable-that Col
onel Roosevelt will not stand as a
third party candidate, but will throw
his great influence into the cam
paign for the election OF Republi-
can president.
In 1912 Colonel Roosevelt had at
least some excuse for opposing the
nominee of the Republican party for
the presidency, as was subsequently
proven by the tremendous following
that flocked to his banner. What
he did in 1912 furnished a lesson
that was not lost upon the rank
and file of the Republican party
when they began to lay their plans
for a reunited party and victory in
1916; nor was the lesson entirely for
gotten by the leaders, many of whom
were found working for harmony at
Chicago and ready to yield grace
fully to the unmistakable voice de-
handing that the people be allowed
to rule. And they did rude by nam
ing as the choice of the convention
the man who had already been desig-
mated as the choice of the rank
and file of the party Colonel Roose-
welt knows this as we'll as any
other man in the country and realiz-
ing as he must, that the principle for
which he contended has been re-
established, he can have no greater
ambition than to see it perpetuated
by the election of the ticket thus
named.

THE significance Of Colonel Roose-
velt's message with it's announcement
that If the Progressive national con-
yention found the subsequent state
ments of Charles Evans Hughes, the
standard bearer, to it's
liking, his non-acceptance of the Pro-
gressive nomination should stand as
his last word, was lost in that tired
throng, worn out by its own enthus-
iasm, by long delays over peace par
leys with the Republicans and by the
discussion of a platform on which it
must go into the field, If at all,
against both the forces of Demo
cracy and Republicanism.
None of the feeling that some of
them later betrayed when they had
opportunity to digest the Colonels
statement had time to flare out when
The gavel fell. They trooped out into

HUGHES MAKES
POSITION CLEAR

WASHINGTON = Charles Evans
Hughes stepped down Saturday from
the supreme bench, and again a
private citizen, accepted the Republi.
can nomination for president.
| In telegram ringing with denun-
citation of the administration foreign
policy and declaring for a dominant,
thorough-going Americanism, he gave
his decision to Chairman Harding of
the Republican national convention,
and broke the long silence which had
kept the leaders of his party in the
dark as to his attitude toward the
great issues of the day
Il have not desired the nomina-
tion," said the telegram. 81 have
wished to remain on the bench. But
in this critical period of our national
history, recognize that it is your
right to summon and that it is my
paramount duty to respond"
Within an hour after Chairman
Harding had notified him of his
nomination Mr.. Hughes had accept
ed the call. His resignation, scant
two-line letter without superfluous
word, was ON it's way to the White
House from the Hughes home be-
fore the nominee had dispatched the
message of acceptance, and called the
waiting group of newspaper men into
his study to tell them of his decis-
ion. President Wilson accepted the
resignation in a reply almost as
brief. Apparently Mr.. Hughes letter
was framed so that the president
might be saved the embarrassment
OF expressing regret or making more
than formal reply.
~ hereby resign the office Of asso-
ciate justice Of the supreme court
Of the United States" he wrote.
To which the president replied: "a

ration and feel constrained to Yield

your resign alton as justice Of the su.
oreme court OF the United States, to
take effect at once"

has determined, it would seem, to equip
her ships in manner to make them
virtually warcraft, not merely to insure
their own safety, but as a measure of
offense against the submarine raiders
of Germany Such n transition makes
the transfer from New York to Halifax
not only desirable but in effect neces-

Fully armed merchantmen, become in

curely protected from molestation if
they make British port their western
terminal than if they call at an Ameri-
can port. They will have the protection
of their feet ships from dock to dock.

can rules permit.
This change of policy will thus re-

Roosevelt and Johnson.

Shall we see contest between the
Roosevelt men and the Hiram johnson
men for control of the progressive
republicans in the next national
convention! Current gossip indicates
something of the kind. In the east
the Roosevelt men and in the west
the johnson men are active. Those who
want Teddy" are just as insistent as
in the other the cry is, Get in line, and
stay in hne!"
Ii it develops, this should make very
pretty fight Mr. Roosevelt has no dou-
ble but Gov. johnson possesses charac-
teristics somewhat Rooseveltian. He
has audaeity, tenacity and pugnacity.
He goes after what he wants with all his
might. He has shown great strength at
home. His friends and followers swear
by him. and his opponents at him.
Gov johnson labors under embar-
easements. He was candidate for the
Senate. and the master of the situation
at home. The election showed that he
was popular beyond any man who had
ever run for office in the state. His ma
jority was mountain high. And yet the
state voted against Hughes. Explana-
lions without end have been offered; but
an intelligent explanation is still lack
iprr Of IN h
solve the Johnson organization from
blame
This record necessarily will confront
the johnson presidential candidacy in
all states which were loyal to Hughes.
In 1883 David B. Hill carried New York
for governor, while Mr.. Cleveland lost
it for President, and, losing it, lost the
election. Although Mr.. Hill had worked
harder for Mr. Cleveland than for him
self, he was blamed for Mr.. Cleveland's
defeat. and never recovered from the
accusation In 1892, when he aspired to
his partys nomination for President, the
charge stood like lion in his path, and
defeated him.
In March next Gov. johnson will be-
come Senator Johnson. He will thus,
assuming a national Office, become ma
tional figure, and get in touch from the
central point of this town with national
life and developments Mr.. Roosevelt
viii continue to take his bearings from
Oyster Bay. the road to which is known
to a good many politicians from all sec
tons of the country.
