Mr.. Hughes will not be elected. His

ROOT on HUGHES.

Il LlHU ROOT OF New York. Is admittedly one OF the
- biggest and brainiost men in the United States TO-
day His views men and things command atten-
uon and respect az all times What he says Of former
Justice Hughes, Republican candidate for President.
Is especially interesting,
lt is plain that Mr. Hughes has been nominated be-
cause great mass of the rank and fle of the Re-
publican party, the constituents OF the delegates

candidate He is able, experienced Courageous high

quality. competent to deal with the serious conditions
confronting the government of our country"
And let il not be forgotten that Mr. Root himself
figured conspcuousy in the balotine Of the Chicago
Convention and that on the second ballot he received
ninety-eght and one-half votes for the Presidential
nomination. That makes his hearty commendation Of
Mr. Hughes all the more significant.

Press Opinions on The Nomination of Hughes

PROBABLY were the main obstacles to
his nomination on the first and sec
cnd ballots.
PITTSBURGH DISPATCH - He is
not an extremist; and in this respect
represents the great bulk of Ameri-
can sentiment. that is not whipped
this way or that by temporary emo
tionalism. forceful but not aggres-
sive. he typifies the national temper.
CINCINNATI COMMERCIAL TRIB-
.VNE-With Justice Hughes in the
White House. there would be no wab-
bling Americanism, no policies OF
watchfu waiting. but the honor. the
flag. the rights of American citizen
ship would be ever first and invinc-
ible.
ST. LOUIS POST DISPATCH-The
desire of the bosses to ignore and
eliminate Roosevelt was stronger than
their desire to nominate man Of
their own choice. They accepted
Justice Hughes unwillingly as the
best man TO assure the reputation Of
Roosevelt. and to gain votes from
Roosevelts followers.
I y
ton of Justice Hughes as the Repub-
| lican candidate for President was a
sound one. Justice Hughes declara-
ton in acceptance makes it a bril-
/ liant one The letter is splendid
call to arms.
DETROIT FREE PRESS - II Mr.
Hughes is elected he will take his
place as one of the greatest Presi-
dents of the United States. The Re
publican party has made no mistake
in choosing its candidate for the
! Presidency.
CLEVELAND LEADER - All Re
publicans can work and vote for Jus
tice Hughes without forsaking their
ideals OF principles: all true Progress
sives and independents can join with
them without qualification.
NEW ORLEANS TEMES-PICAYUNE
BY nominating Justice Hughes fol
the Presidency. the Republican ma
tional convention registered the
will OF a decent majority Of regular
Republicans.
LOS ANGELES TINES - He has
never vaunted his Americanism a'

but there has never been any doub
as to where he stands on the question
of adequate preparedness for natlona

NEW YORK SUN-The Sun ac-
cepts with alacrity the opportunity TO
support for President Of the United
States a man like Charles Evans
Hughes against the man that Wood
row Wilson has shown himself to be.
We believe, with Theodore ROOse-
welt, that our present troubles in
Mexico are "the direct result OF an
utter failure to prepare. and Of our
governmental policy Of almost un-
belieyable timidity and vacillation.'
We believe. with Colonel ROOse-
welt. that it would be crime against
this nation to continue in power for
four years longer the administration
thus by him impeached. ."
II the substance (of the Hughes
statement had been promulgated in
advance Of the meeting OF the two
conventions, we do not see how any
Republican or any Progressive could
have doubted that the candidate Of

found
NEW YORK MORLD-In nominal
ing Justice Hughes for President, the
Republican party has paid to Wood
row Wilson the highest compliment
il was capable Of paying him. II has
selected as its own candidate the
Republican who in the popular mind
most nearly represents President VIII
son in character in ability. in temper
ament and in capacity for idealistiC
public service. II has taken the Re
publican Wilson to be its standard
bearer because IL did not dare take
anybody who represented a contrast
to the Democratic Wilson. II has
brought the Supreme Couri Of the
United States into politics, because II
was afraid to nominate a candidate

The commencement program

and a talk by Governor Hanna.
The governor, after speaking
q few words to the graduating
classes, told Of his interesting
trip in Europe with the Ford
Peace party. It. was story Of
facts that cannot be learned by
reading the papers and everyone
paid very close attention to his
remarks. He is a pleasing speak

things to tell.

band music and a lot Of chau-
tauqua literature. Banners were
flying and everyone was in a
happy mood as the day was
bright and fair and very promis-
ing for a booster trip.
At Underwood the people soon
gathered around the band to
hear the music and gather the
advertising matter passed around
by the rest of the booster party.
In this town they were waiting
for Senator McCumber who was
to arrive at ten.
A short stop was made at
Coleharbor where a crowd soon
gathered when the band began
to play.
Garrison was reached at IL 80.
An hour 8 stop was made here to
give every one time to eat din
ner. Garrison is .going to have
a chautauqua Of its own but
some promised to come down
for a day so the entertainments
could be compared. Here is
where our first auto left us. ].
l.. Brekken had to return to
Washburn leaving thirteen cars
to make the trip. 1t did not
prove an unlucky number how
ever as all made the complete
circle with the exception Of one
car that came home from Tur-
tile Lake.
At seven o clock Tuesday eve
ming fifteen auto loads went to
Wilton where stay of one hour
was made.
: In each town the travellers
were pleasantly met and aEhoug
the time was short some good ad'
vertising was done. Even if it
will not bring large crowds to
town next week it will show
that all are pulling together to
make the chautauqua q success.

GOOD ROADS COMING
FOR MCLEAN COUNYT

The people Of Mclean county
are vitally interested in the good
roads proposition which is now
in the hands of the county COM
missioners. As will be remem-
bered, the board purchased three
engines and graders for road
work at the April meeting and
some delay in the delivery of the
machines has delayed the work
a great deal, the last engine just
being delivered this week. But
they started out about three
weeks ago with part of an outfit
and Monday they were working
on the main road about twelve
miles north Of Washburn OH the
road into Underwoo'd-the inten-
tion being to make main road
to Coleharbor and thence to- Gar
rison. From here they will make
a road to Max and do other road
work in this locality.
This investment in road ma
chinery seems to have been a
good one since the roads being
built with these machines are
both good and economical. The
commissioners are to be con-
graduated on their enterprise,
and we hope the report is true
that these machines when they
arrive in this locality will be us.
