LETTER SKI
By RoDNEY BUTCHER, NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON very serious
cogitation and deep, dark conferences
with two of the best lamp posts
on Pennsylvania avenue, your cor
respondent interprets the recent ut
terances of Mr.. Charles Evans Hughes
to mean that:
The Aaar 1929 may see the first
crop of whiskers in the White House
since the departure Of Benjamin
Harrison.
The word ''may" is, of course, the
only proper one. That is to say
Mr.. Hughes is just as much OF a
candidate Tor nomination this mo-
ment as Mr.. Hoover and Mr.. Dawes
arc candidates. He probably is not
quite such good bet as they are, but
opinions as to that will vary.
Stories to the effect that MI
Hughes wouldn't like to be president
can reasonably be regarded as most
questionable; it may be that Mr.,
Hughes would not go after the NOM
inaAon unless he we're assured that
it would be waiting for him on q
silver charger and that he wouldn't
take it even then if he thought he
didn't have at least an even chance
for election, but it. does not follow
that Mr.. Hughes will be unreceptive
if the gentlemen whom he knows
control the nomination tell him he
can have it.
Mr.. Hughes is the most conspicuous
of that modest string of republican
candidates whose campaign tactics
are, On the surface, to sit by until
the party taps one OF them on the
shoulder. The burst of speed which
the lucky candidate will jump into
once he is nominated will be little
short Of astounding in comparison
with his previous public behavior.
Candidates who insist on being
pushed into the nomination are dis.
Greet. Experience has proved that
the fellows who go out and below
their wares to the public and spend
a Wad of money seldom come to lead
party tickets. Winning primaries
doesn't win nominations.
Other things being eqal, a victorious
primary candidate can make deals
at the convention as we'll as the next
fellow, but national campaigns for
nomination are expensive IN more
ways than one and generally mad
visable owing to the excellent chances
Of ultimate defeat.
Nothing is more undignified than
an elderly, bewiskered gentleman in
a breakneck chase after something,
and when it comes to presidential
politics one must remember that
Hughes is a burnt child. In 1916
he went to bed ELECTION night with
