PRESIDENT AND VICE
" PRESIDENT ASPIRANTS

Albany, N. Y., dune 10. 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.

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. Tho
abilities of tho ono hnvo complement
ed those of the other, with the re
sut thnt n grent work has been ac
complished for tho peoplo.
Tempernmentnlly thoy nro nlmost
opposltos. 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. It was such n surprise
coming from Tnft that for a few
moments no ono uttered a word.
Then, Just ns suddenly, tho storm
cleared. Jumping up, Tnft put his
arm around tho shoulder of tho cor
respondent and in the most off ection
