pastor Of the Bedford Presbyterian

as New YOrk's candidate, under certain
conditions that may arise at the Repub-
hcan convention. Dr.. Young, who is

served during the war on the United
States District Board for New York
City, writes in part:
an view Of the increasing expecta-
ton Of deadlock at the Republican
National Convention and the nomiua-
ton of some one not prominently

wise for citizens of New York State
TO have in mind more than one can

respective of party affiliations, would
recognize as fit for Presidential Of
fee

Evans Hughes? Everybody familiar
9Th his career know him to be i'm.
mensely capable, endowed with ad-
illustrative qualities of the highest
order, patriotic, of absolutely un-
swervable integrity, a representative,
spokesman whom the nation
could always be proud.
His questioned personal
righteousness, mis- laborious and
Democratic Administration through
cut the war, his power in stating q
case lucidly and conyincingly and his
delightful way of mixing with his
fellow citizens-much more delight
full Tor these four years Of private, I'M
Official life-would make him grow
daily stronger with the people in a
campaign wherein the multitudes will
more and more turn to the candidate
they can individually trust"
