Bill McCabe's Poughkeepsie team
was playing the Kingston team one
day years ago, in the Atlantic league,
and guy named Fogarty was umpire.
In the ninth inning, with the score
tied, two of McCabe's men played out,
and as Bill had only one man extra,
he had to rush the bleacher seats to
find a man to fill in. He drew big
hick, who said he couldn't play, but for
the fun could fill in. There were two
out at the time and the fans were ex-
cited.
Our hero, the hick, came to bat. He
drew three balls and the next one
across he picked over the left field
fence for homer. Instead of running,
the fathead stood there while the
crowd howled itself mad. McCabe ran
out to him and yelled, Run, you boob,
rum"
The hick turned and faced Bill and
in a slow voice drawled: mo, sir,
won't run. I'm no coward. I'll admit

Hughes from the moment the first
state-Alabama-w called upon. He
was given 949h; Roosevelt 1871; Du-
Pont, 5; Weeks, 8; Lodge, 7, and La
Toilette, 3.
The nomination of Hughes came
after the Republicans had turned
down the proposal of Col. Theodore
Henry Cabot Lodge be named as a
compromise candidate.
1t 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 roaring chorus Of Ayes"
and not a single mo"
Senator Lodge made an eloquent ap-
peal for Hughes in seconding 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. Baldridge nominated
former Senator Burkett.
Charles Warren Fairbanks of 1ndi-
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
gates.

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

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 1856.
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
