Politics

Newspapers carried the report last

definitely out of public life and that
from now on he will confine his en-
ergies to the practice of law. If cor
rect. the announcement is interesting
and significant, in that Mr.. Hughes
has been mentioned as possible can
didate for the United States Senate
from New York, and even as the pos
sible nominee for President by the
next Republican convention.
Gov. Albert c. Richie of Maryland
will run for third consecutive term
as governor of the State rather than
accept the unopposed nomination Of
the Democratic party for United
States Senator. His announcement to
that effect in Baltimore last week is
one of the most recent outstanding
political developments. Gov. Richie s
name is heard often in connection with
the possible Democratic presidential
nominee in the next campaign. A third
term as Governor of Maryland would
give him added prestige as an avail
able candidate. Gov. Richie has be-
come a leading. exponent of State
rights and freedom from interference
by the Federal Government. He is
opposed to the Volstead law as a

Aviation
William Mitchell. former colonel in
the Air Service. issued n statement
last week five hours after his resigna-
ton from the Army became effective.
The statement was n broadside attack
against the administration of the
Army, and he declared that. because
of military bureaucracy. our Gov
eminent has become one Of bureau
cratic domination" Mr.. Mitchell ap-
peared later in the week before IA
House investigation committee where
he made similar statements and an
nounced that he soon would leave on
Il lecture tour which will take him
to every part of the United States in
the next three months.
Largely because of Government sub
Sidy, commercial aviation has made
greater strides in Europe than in the
United States, and for that reason
may be "a model worth studying Adj
ministrators of the Guggenheim fund
of 81 500 900 left New York last week
for a three-month visit in Europe
to study aviation there.
The United States Air Mail. the first
experiment in commercial aviation in
this country and one of the notable
successes In the history of aviation,
is to be enlarged and its routes eX-
tended to cover greater portions of
the country. Contracts have been let
or advertised for dozen new routes
which will connect many large cities.
Since the establishment of the first
air mail IN 1918, pilots in this service
have covered more than 10000. 900
miles.
The Spanish aviators making a
flight from Spain to South America
and United States completed another
difficult leg of their journey last
week when. after landing safely at
Pernambuco they took off and cover

they will fly to Buenos Aires. In land
ing at Rio the seaplane was slightly
damaged by the press of boats which
dashed out to meet the aviators.
