New York. May 18. Based on the
personal triumph of Charles B.
Hughes In winning the doubtful dis
trict of Niagara laat Tuesday, a strong
movement was today set on foot in
this city to show to the country the
presidential qualifications of this man
who will not boom himself.
While. Hughes today still Insists on
being governor rather than playing
for the presidency, thousand of men
who know him have formed the
Hughes Information bureau to say tor
the busy executive what he wtll not
take the state's time to say for him
self. . When all ths people know
Hughes as Niagara and New Tork
knows him, they believe, the country
will have a candidate who worked
while others ran.
Lawyers, labor leaders, farmers,
merchants, mechanic, ministers,
bankers, brakemen and teacher from
ths remote districts of the country
and the heart of the business section
are here today Joining this work ' of
telling the tale of Hughes.
Organization republicans have been
quick to see the strength of the cam
paigner who won the people of
doubtful district against money and
factional machinery: and look to
Hughes to hold their state.
Party, race and creed play no part
In this new movement; for Its sup
porters number by the hundred deep.
dyed democrats, rock-bound republl
cans. Independents, Irish, Germans,
negroes, Jews and Gentiles. All that
binds this growing army is a common
demand to have their fellows hear of
Hughe. -
While the governor Is tied to Al
bany working for them, the people of
the state propose to work for him by
speaking for 'him In other states
where he must daily-decline scores of
Invitations to tpeak for himself.
