OCTOBER (. imr, SOLVES PUZZLE OF HUGHES AS A CANDIDATE Human Interest in Campaign Is to Find Out Why a Man of Rare Courage and Frankness Is Wander- Ing About Country Trailing Nothing But Cold Platitudes. "Tlic Pi7.l of Ilui(lii'h" Ims been solved. Waller Lippnuui, New Vurk bus limit' it, for tbnt is the title he rivus to an nrti''lo nu t ho republii'nn onndidnte for president. Iti-bind thu writing of Hie nrtiolo itself there is mi inti'restiiiR little tale. Knowing Mr. Lipimimi ns mi linn est writer, us well ns tliorouph rind clever, the eilitur of Collier's Weekly nsked him to write nn nrtiele on Hughes. Mr. l.ippwrm did so, hut it nn such n frunk nrnii;iiirieiit of the j'onner jusliee that Collier's, whieh is supporting llnithes, turned It down. That same ailiele now appears in the current issue of The New Republic, an independent journal. ICiplulus Kvoliitiim "Many of us are very busy invent ing theories about why wo are not cashiii'' in now on the legend of Hughes the fearless, the just, the wise ullil the heroic. That is the human in terest of this campaign to find out why a man of ran eoni'iitfe and frankness, of balanced mind, a lu.'ui of evpeiieuee in politics, should be wandering around the country trail ing nothing but cold and damp plati tudes. The puzzle is to rxuluin the evolution of a distinguished man into an undistinguished candidate. "If we had to judge him merely by what he has been saying since he wus nominated w should have to grant that he js n republican of the 'nine ties, superstitious about the tariff, Philistine about Imsiucss, I'rock-eont-ed about labor, and with a regular Vnion league attitude Inward the dem ocrats, national honor and prosper ity. As a candidate, .Mr. Hughes has been Ihe perfect representative of a convention Hint spent n whole morn ing enjoying speeches by Joe Can lain n ml Chnuneey Depcw. lie is the nominee! of a parly that has lit pres ent only one principle to its niituo u dcsiio to heat Mr. Wilson. Xomuuitcd lis Dragnet "Mr. Hughes was not nominated as candidate of a party or lender of a cause, but as a dragnet for all pos sible nuli-Wilson votes. The politic ians calculated that if all the people who do not like the president were collected the party could win. Mr. Hughes' tusk as candidate has been to keep enough people from liking Mr. Wilson, ".Mr. llughi-s srcuis In nin to net like n man who lias been stunned so that, his brain for the time being hits lost its fighting edge. He appears to be frightened and anxinin, and uniihlo to make dangerous decisions. He acts as if he was too worried to think. Ion confused to face issues, too depress ed to lead. "The fact is that this is (he first til I crisis of Mr. Hughes' public life, when he has staked eiervthing on Micccss. For years Mr. Hughes has been telling himself and others that a justice of the supreme court must liive up ambition. Nu ,,ne lias ccr given heller reasons why !t judge t-lwuld not run tor office. Those M-ruplcs are not altogether dead. Mr. Hughes has the kind of i-,eieme that could not allow them to disap pear altogether. In his effort to be nil ellicient eaudldalc he has h;i,l to Mump on them violently, but it is the nature of conscience to keep on hurt ing a man even when he docs not real ize it. Not ScH-iable Man mr. ungues is not a soeiaiiie man in Ihe popuhir sense, nor n loer of publicity and crowds. His fcclin- leaches the common life at few point' lis is so often the ease with men w li nn1 intensely concentrated in their work. To touch the world at many Kiints and like it is foreign to him. 'Jim best work of Hughes has to be done in solitude, nt his desk, with a jiiarveious power o close attention. Hut ptiiiipnigning and being popular i u disorderly life, u hiiplia.aril, super ficinl way of living. I have heard him hay that the reserve which hedges Ihe supreme court, coming after the lilat- fi ti t publicity of the governorship, had meant the world to him . "lie has given up that quiet so con genial to his mind for the hubbub of n campaign which may. nfier nil, bring him defeat. Only a superhuman could fail lo recoil, wonder about the rhoico he has made and want too lunch to win. The dignity and peace nf his life are at sinke in this elec tion. He is making mie of the gieat gambles of American polities. i,--Jcatcil lis the repiibln an i ainlul.uc this year, the sacrifice' would be ap palling and complete. lulici'lU'd His Caso !"Xow, a man who has just gone through such a iiersona! crisis is more likely to hesitate, to play safe, lofJ trust the good old formulas, to cling to the party, than to strike out for himself with the assurance that even if he loses he wins. Today he repre sents n eniigloiucridiou of nuti standing for no cause for which he can work without reservation. "lie inherited the ease against Mr. Wilson; hi1 did not make il. It was Colonel Kooscvelt. and he alone, who laid out Ihe lines of the atlack on the president. The mood which Itooseii embodied, the campaign which Roose velt sketched. Mr. Hughes had to take over, and it 1 it si linn as little as tin uniform of n rough rider. If Mr. Hughes dared lo let his intellect work- he could not help being much more moderate in his assaults on the pres ident. A just judge could not escape reali7ing that there is a very great deal to bo said for Mr. Wilson. C-lt.ve of ItepresHloil "Mr. Hughes today is a uiau who has repressed a profound scruple, has risked a career for which he was pe culiarly fitted, has entered a kind of life which he does not en joy, has made himself the exponent of ft parly with out principle and of a mood which is not his own. Why, then, did he ac cept the nomination What was the issue that called Mr. Hughes from the bench? H was something which has never been mentioned in the campaign. and yet seemed to Mr. Hughes a com pelling reason for acceptance. The very atternoon when lie resigned and scut his telegram o the republican (invention he explained his action by saying thai our syslem of government could not lie worked without two strong parties, and that he was the only man who could unite the progres sives and the republicans. The call came to him as n way to save the country by redeeming the republican party. "If Mr. Wilson has done nothing else, he has gone far toward restoring confidence in the possibilities of our government. The radical and the humble have felt a response from Washington they have never known before. The generous, idealistic, peace-loving people of America have felt they were represented in Mr. il- sou. Let .Mr. Ungues come in wit n anything that resembles a plutocratic renetion, and the cause ot etticieney receive n sluggering blow, no mat ter how good Mr. Hughes' appoint ments may be. .Measure Is Short, III a time when there were one or two complicated problems before the people, which rci(uired expert treat ment, there would be no doubt thai Sir. Hughes measured up to the of fice. Hut we are not in such n time, and that is why there is doubt of his fitness. We are in a time of iiniin- ginable complications, ,,!' unexpected rises. It is a period of extreme nn asiuess beneath the surface when the government must have the willing con fidence of the people in order to move siiceesstully. I lie president ot the I'liitcd States in the next four years will have to be a very iiimble-miniled and versatile man, a man capable of piick intuitions, and with the power to guess rightly almost on Ihe spur ot the moment. There will be a few questions he can study thoroughly. He will haM1 to he able to pick ideas in a hlirrv, keep close to Ihe deeper cur rents of popular feeling and have no fear of adventure."
