Feverish anxiety was manifested at the

There was unbounded JOY when Roose-

MRS. HUGHES IS
LOVER OF Home
Election of Husband Would
Preserve Tone of Culture
in White House.

The White House. under Mrs Hughes
as First Lady of the Land, would have a
tone of refinement and culture, but of
distinct "homesomeness." in the opinion
Of those who know her intimately as mis-
tress of the governors mansion at AL
bany.
Mrs. Hughes is a highly cultured, in
tellectual woman. She has wide interests.
but she has never let them interfere with
what she considered her first interest
that Of being a companion to her husband
and a mother to her children.
Mrs. Hughes Is a native Of Milwaukee,
although as Antoinette Carter. she was
living in New York when she and Mr.
Hughes were married in 1888 Her father.
the late Walter S. Carter, a member of
the firm of Chamberlain. Carter & Horn
blower. was well known. not only as a
lawyer, but as collector of etchings.
1t was shortly after he had made Charles
Evans Hughes, a junior member of his
firm, which then became Carter Hughes
& Cravath, that Mr.. Hughes married the
daughter of his senior law partner She
had studied in Wells College, Aurora, N
Y, and later had taken a special course
at Wellesley.
In the early nineties, Mr.. Hughes. hav-
ing overtaxed his strength in legal work,
went to Cornell as a professor of law,
and there, for two years. Mrs. Hughes
was one of the most popular and best
known members of the college COM
munity. On their return to New York
she presided In their charming home at
$50 West End avenue.
Mrs. Hughes is only little more than
10 years of age. with a rather tall, slender
figure. and pleasant expression. She has
regular features, an abundance of brown,
wavy hair, and noticeably attractive
brown eyes. In political matters, she is
as sphynx-like as her husband When
living in Albany she invariably replied
to would-be interviewers that she was
the wife, and not the political partner of
the governor of New York.

tInternat1Onai news SeFuCe.D
Chicago, June 10.-Summing up the
situation at the close Of one Of the most
exciting days in the history Of American
politics. 1t may be said:
/. Col. Roosevelts Conditional refusal
OF the Progressive nomination has put
an end to that party as a coherent or
sanized political force.
2. The refusal will undoubtedly be made
final after further expression by Justice
Hughes on the question of Americanism
3. II is probable that the Colonel can
deliver the Progressive party as an or
ganization He will be unable to secure
the adherence to his program of its more
radical leaders. Some will go to Wilson
4. As individuals. however. SO great q
proportion of the Progressives will return
to their former Republican allegiance as
to greatly strengthen that party in its
coming contest.
Bull Moose Dying,
The week of political conventions in
Chicago has ended with a tragedy. The
Progressive party lies dying; wounded
unto death by the stroke of its adored
hero, delivered Just as it had given him
the highest honor It had at its command.
Above all, where does 1t leave Theodore
Roosevelt himself?
A specific. answer to this is not easy to
the present disturbed condition of politi-
cal circles. Progressives like Strauss,
Loeb, Garfield. Walter Brown and the
greater radicals already mentioned, differ
widely In their diagnosis OF the situation
The first and vital consideration is
whether the Progressives will, as a party.
accept Hughes upon Col. Roosevelts de-
cree to that effect and thereby surrender
their existence as an independent party,
n W hAU ut1I
mer leader, nominate someone in his
place and thus probably proceed by a
longer but no less certain road to extinc-
ton.
Think Wilson Is Beaten.
President Wilson was in a minority of
10000 votes as compared to the vote Of
the combined Republican and Progressive
parties four years ago. He will gain
somewhat this year by the votes of Re-
publican pacifists whose whole platform
is-''he kept us out OF war"
When the two sides of the problem are
balanced, it is probable that Wilson will
be found to have lost more than he has
gained by the policy of national tlnidity
and evasion. This will be the case II the
latter utterances of Justice Hughes fa-
vors Roosevelt to lead the greater part
Of his former followers into the Repub-
lican camp.
Though opinions among leading Pro-
gressives to the immediate action
taken differ / have yet to find one who
questions that the death knell Of the
party has been rung and by the man II
trusted most William Allen White
sounded Its dirse when he emerged from
the convention hall whistling in slow
time. Goodbye, Girls. I'm Through"
Alexander Moore and John Hays Ham
mond talking together in a hotel lobby
admitted that this was the end. Nathan
