Although every ally lender todny in dignantly disclaimed an acceptance of Rival Candidates Write Brief Notes to Each Other On Eve of Campaign Washington, June 10.-3:30 p. m. Supreme Court Justice Hughes this afternoon sent his resignation to the president. It follows: "To the President I hereby resign tho office of associate justice of the supreme court of the United States. "I am, Sir. respectfully yours. (Signed) "Charles Evan Hughes." President Sets Him Free. Washington, June 10. The presi dent accepted Justice Hughes resigna tion as follows; "Dear Mr. Justice Hughes I am in receipt of your letter of resignation and feel constrained to yield to your desire. I therefore accept your resig nation as justice of the supreme court to tako effect at once. "Sincerely yours, (Signed) "Woodrow Wilson." Hie letter was sent to Justice Hughes by special wesesiier. second choice deal, it was nevertheless fair to nssuine that any one of four favorite sons would be perfectly willing to take the vice-presidential nomina tion if proffered. The campaign manager for one of the leading ally contestants, 'summed up the presidential situation thus: "Shermnn has released bis Illinois delegate. As soon as they switch to Hughes, Burton's delegates in Ohio will probably follow suit and likewise, the delegations pledged to Cummins, except possibly those, from his home state of lowa 'This would total 4i3 1-2 votes, an increase of 105 over the 32S 1-2 which the justice polled on the second ballot last night. It is fairly safe to assume that scattering votes, from va rious sources deflections from the Fairbanks, Knox, Koosevelt, Root nnd Weeks delegates will jump his total well above the 4!H votes necessary to nominate. "The figures given above show Only one-half n vote less than the nir&ber required." The Vice-Presidency. .Sentiment for vice-presidential candi dates rapidly erystalized early today wilh Senator Borah of Idaho, and Charles W. Fairbanks of Indiana, the favorites. The choice is largely geographical. Borah is enthusiastically liked by thf progressives, but has always refused to leave the ft. O. F. ranks. For two days he has refused to yield to strong pres sure urging hiui to run, but it is the be lief of his friends in both parties that if ho received a whirlwind nomination, the convention would accept hira be'forc he should protest. Fairbanks also has sent out word that he would not accept the nomination for vice-president but this has not been tak en as final. Today action was to be the proffrnin from the opening tap of Chairman Harding's gavel the only business in or der being a continuation of the ballot ing. There is no doubt the delegates want to put their man over, pick bis running mate nnd then get home. The pros pects were that the convention would be able to adjourn about 5 or 0 o'clock. Tho progressive convention expected to mark time for the most part, watch fully waiting to see what happened at the Coliseum. On the surface they had just one candidate to nominutc Theo dore Roosevelt but not a few of the delegates foresaw widespread defections to the republican ranks if the O. O. P. nominated a staunch progressive or a republican or progressive tendencies as running mate for Huuhes. Some privately speculated on the possibility of Roosevelt declining to lead. The out and out progressives those who have burned their bridges behind them don't hesitate to say privately that "pussyfooting" by some of the harnionieis in the bull moose ranks wns a grave, error, leaving the progres sives in the awkward position of being willing to bargain. The direct nctiou Hitchcock Knows How to Handle Delegates m FRANK H.hHTCUCOCK Among the earliest of the big iron on the scene in Chicago was Frank II. Hitchcock, former chairman of t.ie Republican natii.tial cominit'tee nnd former ptwtmdster geneial. He ha.s Ih'Oii very busily engaged in lounding up delegates lor 'Hughes. His an nouncement that Justice Hughes was a candidate for the nomination was followed swiftly by a statement from Mr. Hughes' secretary that no such announcement had been authorized. rf L . , f f Vv'i''- C . j i 7V A mmmM CW" FAIRBANKS The roots of the old line of statesmen that so long summarized the heights of American opportunity "From the log cabin to the White House" are being grubbed out these day The main part at the forest is already gone. In diana, in Charles Warren Fairbanks, presents a candidate for the republican presidential nomination who goes back to that old line. The former vice-president not only was bom in a log cabin but was cradled in a sugar trough. Some term him as a "quiet man with a warm heart." But no one who knows the teal Fairbanks will say that he is cold or lacking in cordiality. An extremely tall man, Fairbanks has been termed "Tho Sycamore of the Wabash." In personal appearance the choice of the Indiana delegation bears a resemblance to Lincoln. Not alone in appearance but in methods of work, in thinking and in a sort of dry humor Fairbanks is snid to resemble the Civil war president. A clea-i record as United States sen ator from Indiana and the iiinnni r in which he filled the office of vice-president tire t lie chief assets in the Fair banks' claim for fitness for the high est ottico ot the nation.

'forces think Roosovolt should have been played as the trump card on the first trick.

I have wished to remain on the bench. But in this critical peiiod of our na tional history, I realize that it is your right to summon and that it is toy para mount duty to respond. You speak at a time of national exigency trandescend ing nearly partisan consideration. You voice the demand for a dominant thorough-going Americanism, with firm protective upbuilding policies essential to your peace and security; and to that call, in this crisis I cannot fail to ans wer with the pledge of all that is in me to the service of our country. There fore, I accept the nomination. "I stand for the firm and unflinch ing maintenance of all the rights of American citizens on land and sea. I neither impugn motives nor underesti mate difficulties. But it is most regret ably true that in our foreign relations,, wo have suffered incalcuably from the vacillating course which has been tak en with regard to Mexico, a course la mentably wrong with regard to both our rights and our duties.

At the outset nf foreign nations were subordinated to a conception of , partisan requirements nnd presented to the world a humiliat Pecnl' of ineptitude. Belated efforts have not availed to recognize the influence nnd prestige so unfor tunately sacrificed and brave words have been stripped of their force by the decision. I desire to see our diplomacy restored to its stnndnrds, Bud to have these advance; to have no sacrifices of national interests to partisan expedi ency; to have the first ability to the country always nt its command, here and abroad, in diplomatic intercourse; to maintain firmly our rights under in ternational law insisting steadfastly up on all rights ns neutrals, and, 'fully per forming our interntaional obligations, and by the clear correctness and justice of our position and our manifest abil ity and disposition to sustain; to dig uifv our place among the nations.
