Hughes from the moment the first
te-Alabama-was called upon. He
was given 9491s; Roosevelt, 1872; Du-
Pont. 5; Weeks, 3; Lodge, 7, and La
Toilette, 8.
The nomination of Hughes came
after the Republicans had turned
down the proposal of Col. Theodore
Roosevelt that United States Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge be named as a
compromise candidate.
It preceded by few minutes the
the nomination of Roosevelt by the
Progressive party national convention
in the Auditorium theater.
John M. Parker of Louisiana was
named by the Progressives as their
candidate for vice president.
By the time New Jersey was called
on the roll of states, Hughes had
polled a majority of the votes Of the
convention.
The nomination of the New York
man was the signal for a wild out
burst in the Coliseum-the scene of
many wild outbursts in the last few
days.
Choice Made Unanimous.
Chairman Harding announced the
nomination of Hughes, and Alex. P.
Moore of Pittsburgh and Senator
Lodge, who voted for Theodore Roose-
welt, moved to make it unanimous.
The nomination was made unani-
nous with a roaring chorus of ayes
and not a single NO"
Senator Lodge made an eloquent ap-
peal for Hughes in secondfng the
motion for unanimity.
New Mexico nominated Fairbanks
for vice president. Governor Willis
of Ohio seconded Fairbanks.
Nebraska was the next state to re-
spond and H. H. Raldridge nominated
former Senator Burxett.
Charles Warren Fairbanks of Indi-
ana was nominated on the first bal
lot as the vice presidential candidate
of the Republican party.
The fact that Roosevelt had been
nominated by the rival convention, in
no wise dampened the ardor or the
enthusiasm of the Republican dele.

AS soon as the presidential nomina-

Fairbanks, Burton, Weeks, Root, Sher-
man, La Toilette, Cummins and one or
two others were advertised by noisy
supporters. Roosevelt men-Progres-
sives and progressive Republicans
were at it early and late. They prob
ably made the greatest racket. Mr..
Hughes was unrepresented by merry
makers.
Career of Justice Hughes.
Charles Evans Hughes fame rests
principally on his conduct of the in
surance investigation and his career
as governor of New York state.
An iron will, incorruptible charac-
| ter and remarkable reasoning ability
are characteristics commonly attrib-
uted to him.
Mr.. Hughes was born at Glens Falls,
N. Y, April II, 1862, the son of a
| Welshman who had come to this coun-
| try in 1855.
He graduated from Brown univer-
| sity in 1881.
In 1882 he entered Columbia Law
| school, New York city. He was grad
uated two years later at the head of
| his class and became a member of the
| New York bar.
In 1883 he entered the law firm of
| Carter, Hughes & CTavath, and about

First Attracts Attention.
He first attracted newspaper atten-
ton in 1905, when he became counsel
for the Stephens gas investigating
committee Mr.. Hughes uncovered
the ramifications of the gas and cleo
trio light monopoly of the metropolis
and later assisted in framing several
legislative bills to bring relief to bad
conditions he had discovered.
In the same year started the IA
nous life insurance investigation.
When asked to take up the work OF
counsel to the investigating commit
tee Mr.. Hughes declined, except on
condition that he be given free rein
and allowed to handle the probe
thoroughly. \
The investigation lasted four months
and resulted in a revolution in insur-
ance methods.
In the autumn of 1906 Mr.. Hughes
was elected governor of New York
state by the Republicans. In 1919
President Taft appointed Mr.. Hughes
an associate justice of the Supreme
court, and he took office on October 1
of that year.
