He is moreover, counsel for the Anti-Saloon League, and conventions want to keep away, if they can, from anyone who has been too closely identified with the liquor issue, either on the dry or the wet side.
 The republican convention, neverthe- less, must nominate someone And against everyone who has been named objections at once arise. It is easy to demonstrate why Hughes cannot and should not be nominated. It is equally easy to make a similar demonstration in the case of Wood, or Lowden, or Johnson, or anyone whose name is tentatively brought for ward.
