Show !' JUSTICE HUGHES A f POSSIBILITY. "Collier's expects Justice Hughes to be nominated at Chicago, and says: "If It turns out, after the Republican convention at Chicago next June, that Justice. Hughe? has secured the Republican Re-publican nomination, the public will know that It has come about through the action of certain powerful leaders of the Republican party. Further, the M public will assume that these powerful H and intelligent men, responsible for M the future of their party, have not M named a pig in a poke that these M leaders have satisfied themselves as fl to how Justice Hughes stands on pre-H pre-H paredness, on international relations, M In Mexico, on the tariff, and on all H the other Issues likely to be discussed M in the campaign, and to be vital to the M country during the coming four years. Hl There are only two ways for Justice H Hughes to make his views on ihese H questions known. One Is to do it H through a public statement; the. oth-H oth-H er through private communications to H those who will control the coming Re-H Re-H publican convention. If Justice H Hughes should -fail to choose the first fl of these two methods, it will be a B negation of all that the public has H hitherto believed about him." H oo |
