CharlCB respondents' nssoclatlon at Albany, ByanB HUghcs is prdbably leM jtit a both of which aro patterned aftqr pejltlplai than any other map' in the Gridiron dinners In Washington, politics. " - ' I no enjoyB all the- fun that is poked Politicians say ho is an accident, at him and laughs loudest of all. Ho the unnatural result of extraordln- seems to revel in recreation of this ary circumstances, His admirers sort, nnd the renson probably lies in My he 1b tho prophet of a no era tho fnct that he usunlly keeps his in tno pouucai worm, iwiy uu who has been associated with him closely Is certain of one act he is a man of outstanding individuality. As governor of New York ho has given tho state an administration that is absolutely unique. It has not been wholly successful in tho mat ter of accomplishment. He has worked nlonei except for tho aid of those who rallied to his assistance of their own accord. Ho never asks' the aid of any mnn. Old-timers at Albany, who admiro fhe governor for his stand on all moral queptions and who boliovo in most of his doctrines of right living wy: "He is n great governor, Ho ha8 Civen tho state an administration on A high plane. But Odell and Rooho yelt did more for tho people after all, They made tho politicians do what thoy wanted them to do. Thoy laid down tho law to the legislature and the legislaturo usually obeyed. It is true thnt tho preachers of the state did not ngreo with everything they did but thoy got results." Hughes considers the moans fully s important as the. end. His fnthor was a Baptist preacher in Glens Falls, N. Y., nnd there is something of tho Baptist preacher and much of the Baptist lnymen Jn tlio govern or today. A leaflet scattered about tbe legislaturo during tho flght on tho nntl-raco- track gambling bills, said of him: "He Id n' preacher among politi cians; a politician among preach ers." Ho is tho embodyment of system. He habltMally looks before he leaps, and usually carefully measures tho space and carefully estimates ' his leaping1 capacity in advance. Much fun has boon mndo of his cdntclcnco in comic papers' and pub lic speeches: It Is no myth, olthor. The thing' about Hughes that wor ries tho politicians moBt qf all is his placidity. Ho consults his con science on every move and does what will satisfy it and then no mat ter what happons, ho,can say to himself: ',;'.' "I hnve dono tho right thing. If others fall' I cannot' be blamed for ibeir failure. I have done my full "IflUb'OB Bt'ujIJed hard as a boy in (school and has novor atoppod. Ho it now 40 years old and in his mind are stored away tho results of al most that many years study, for ho began to read nlmost ns soon ns he began to talk. But thoro Is another side to tho man tho Bldo that usually 1b not eeqn by tho public. Ho has nil the human emotions in n strong degree, but ho has learned to control them and keep them In tho background. No man is better company at n din ner nnd no mnn ontors moro enthu mind hard at serious work. Tho very fact that ho Is unpop ular with the.pqlltc!ans who havo ruled Now Yor"k bo long has given Hughes much support a support of n kind that Biirnriscd everybody. It ' enmo from men who usually aro not heard from in public matters. No man doubts his sincerity. No one has charged him with inordin ate ambition. Many believe that ho is tho most popular man In the state and assort freely that few men over wore ns popular with tho people at largo. But, they usually add, ho does not take ndvantngo of his op portunity. Tho 'late John' Vandorcook, presi dent of the United Press, in an ar ticle on Hughes, said: "Some think Hughes at heart a Wall-street lawyer somo sny that ho is a moral prig. The bulk of his really earnest popular support comes from tho up-stato "hayseed districts." Were ho ever mado President, ho probably would pur suo tho course ho has ns governor, thnt Is, ho would never tnko up a thing until ho understood It thor oughly, nnd then pushed it through with cnlm insistent pntlcnco, fnlling back always on tho same 'It's right' argument when anybody wanted to change his mind." Hughes first sprang into public notice ns counsol for tho legislative commltto in tho gas investigation in Now York In 1905. , Then quickly followed tho llfo InsurnnCe Investi gation In which ho won national famo nnd which brought him the nomination for governor. Before these events ho had been a deop thlnklnjr, hnrd-worklng lnwyor known moro to lawyers than to lnymen.- O'hcr attorneys sought his advice on tangled points, Ho hid lectured on Inw Jn Cornell univer sity nnd was looked upon somowhnt as a professor In practice until he suddenly loomed up as n mnn of action. t J Ono phaso of Hughes' character ( is Illustrated by his action on tho Hearst bill providing for a recount of the ballots cast in tho McOlollan-, Hearst mayorallty election In Now York, which Hearst claims ho won but wns counted out." Hearst had boon Hughes' opponent in tho ra;o( for governor nnd had attacked hint in mnny ways, constantly roforring to him ns an "animated feather duster." Yet Hughes recommended the pnesngo of tho bill. When ho wao counselled not to sign it, ho re plied decisively, "It is n simple net of Justice," and thereupon affixed his signature to the bill, making it a law. Tnft. Washington, Juno 10. President Itooiovelt has sold that if It would help matters at all, he would choer- slastlcally into tho spirit of a Joke fully walk on his hands nnd knees Or an OVenlnc of ntoflHlirp. whnn thft frnm 41in "WhHn TTmian in fh Onnltnl evening has been Bet aside for that to boo William Howard Tnft innug- jiurppBi, I urntea prosment or tne united At dinners such as tho "Amen States. Comer" annual nffair In Now York, I Senator Fornkor, who would like or the dinner of the Legislative Cor- to prevent the consummation of thnt event, has declared that no ono could meet Taft and not love hlni ns a man; ! ' There must bo something wonder fully pleasing in -a man's personality td ovoko such expressions from two such diverse' sources. And thoro lo. Gonial, whole souled, happy, hearty b.lg "Bill" Tnft, as ho is known to his intimate?, attracts men to him as irresistibly as tho magnet does tho steel. One of the biggest men in tho I country, physically, Taft is six feet i tall and weighs 280 pounds. His shoulders nro so broad, and his frnmo so big, that he carries his weight without giving the nppear- jnnco of a fat man in tho ordinary sense. I Bubbling over with good nature, ' with laughter ever ready to his lips, Taft is, nevertheless, the personlficn 1 tlon of dignity nnd firmness. Con . vlnced of tho wisdom and Justice of In certain Uno of action, no ono, not oven President Roosovelt hlmsolf, ib moro nggrcssivo and courageous In pursuit of his object. Tnft is his own master. No gront or mistake could be mado than to as sumo that ,if elected President, ho would be under tho domination of nny man. In tho mnpping out of the greftt policies of tho Roosevelt ad ministration no ope hns been more freely consult Hi than Taft, and no one has been moro free to criticize tho President when criticism seemed just. I Roosevelt 1b not n lawyer. Tnft is. Sympathizing heartily with tho President's purposes, Tnft has UBed his legal training to shnpo Roose Tolt's ideas into practical form.

It would bo .difficult to conceive of Tnft forming classes of "liars," "malefactors of great wealth," or "nature fakirs." Ho has not tho phrase-making capacity of Roosevelt, but ho can bo none tho less vlKorous in denunciation of wrong. Ho does not beliove that onlthetB nro necessary to mnko a speech strong nnd Incisive. Whore Roosevelt is Impetuous nnd some times hns to change front with great suddenness, Tuft's legal training mnkes him deliberate, judicial, and, onco convinced, unyielding.. No man In publ'c lifo h more frank and unreserved in' his Inter course with newspaper men than Tnft. Ho goes on tho theory that the public has a right to know about tho administration of tho wnr de partment, and ho takes tho corres pondents Into his confidence, but he reserves tho right to decide when tho proper tlmo has arrived for publica tion of tho facts. Ho plays no fav orites, but when Tnft says "No,' there is a finality about It which I generally accepted. On one occa sion, howovor, n correspondent per sisted in asking .lending questions on a subject upon which tho secretnry had said that ho could not speak. Taffa face lost its smile, tho kindly grny eye3 developed a steely glitter, and suddenly tho storm broke. Ho declnrcd that ho was not to bo "bul lyragged" Into answering question that ho did not want to answor, and gavo tho unhnppy newspaper man such a roklng-down before nil of his collenguos, as ho had probably never had before.
