athan Bourne, Jr., gave out the fol-
lowing statement at its Washington
headquarters:
PROBABLY the most ardent supper
ter of Woodrow Wilson and the most
bitter opponent of Hughes is the New
York World, the leader of the Demo-
cratic press. In view of its present
criticism of Mr.. Hughes, for purely
partisan reasons, every American
voter. of whatever party, should read
that papers estimate of Hughes and
his work in the past. The following
are excerpts from the columns of that
paper during the period of its owner
ship and control by the late Mr.. Pullt-
ger. who requested in his will that Mr..
Hughes serve as trustee of his es-
tate. position which MIR. Hughes
declined:

ADMIRABLE WORK. His admir-
able work as counsel for the Gas In
yestigatlng Committee Justified the
people in accepting from him equally
meritorious service as Counsel for the
Insurance Investigating Committee.
The public has not been disappointed
in Mr.. Hughes. He has justified every
expectation. The World doubts if any
legislative investigation in the history
of the State was ever conducted with
more ability or more acutely or more
nationally 1t is evident that Mr..
Hughes is going to the very bottom of
insurance corruption, and that when
he has finished, the policy holders and

HUGHES. His nomination FOR
Mayor. first suggested by the World,
reflects credit upon the Republican
CITY campaign. The extraordinary
service Mr.. Hughes has rendered to
the cause of truth and justice in awak-
ening the moral sense of the nation
against crimes of cupidity and OF
trust betrayed, must make far
search for a parallel. He represents
**** opposition to the corruption OF
bossism; of enmity to one-man rule IN
financial and commercial affairs; and
of implacable hostility to financial
crimes. In the interest of public and
general welfare the World hopes that
Mr.. Hughes will accepe.'
October 10. 19O5-'A MAN LIKE
HUGHES The sacrifice was too
great. The World regrets that Mr..
Hughes is not free to make the race,
but neither his refusal nor the brevity
of the time remaining alters by one
toto the basic fact ***# The Mayor
of New York ought 10 be of the
Hughes type. He would let light into
all the dark and secret and fostering
places of loot and plumber. He would
drive grafters and parasites from the
City Hall. He would destroy the al
lance between the pubIic-serVice cor

There would be no McAdoos; there

re acceptance speech when nominated
for Governor). Mr.. Hughes per-
sonal force shows in every line of his
speech. He is explicit and emphatic
in what he says shall be and shall not
be done after he is elected governor,
He deals in none of the politicians
over promises or the demagogue's
cheap phrases. He has the power TO
convince men that the bosses need eX-
pect nothing from him. "No individ-

viduals and no private interest will
be permitted to dictate my policy. |

the intelligence and common sense of
