PRESIDENTIAL
POSSIBILITIES
Hughes The Logical Leader of
The Republican Party
This Fall
(Special Washington correspondence of THE
GARDEN ISLAND.)
Washington, D. C. April 5th
This citv is the political "clearing
house" of the entire country. Vis
itors from every state, as they
come here, are sought by political
writers and reporters for the Wash
ington newspapers, and their
views of the political situation at
home published.
These reports from the country,
so far as Republican politics and
prospects are concerned, show a
remarkable unanimity in several
important features. First, that the
" Progressive party practically has
gone out'of existence; secoud, that
the dominating political sentiment
among Republicans and former
Progressives is the retirement of
the present Democratic adminis
tration; third, the apparent de
mand that Justice Hughes be nomi
nated; and fourth, the strengh of
Colonel Roosevelt as the second
choice of-the united party.
A sample of such views is that
of former Governor W. R. Stubbs,
of Kansas, one of the "seven little
Governors" who in 1912 opened
the Pandora box of the Roosevelt
boom. Governor Stubbs said:
"In my judgment, the Republi
cans and Progressives will be to
gether Ithis year. I am for the
nomination of Justice Hughes, be
cause 1 believe lie would make a
winning candidate, and it is im
portant to the nation that the
present administration be succeed
ed bv a Republican administration
If not Hughes, then I think Colo
nel Roosevelt should be nomi
nated. vvherever I have gone
these two names were uppermost
in the discussions among ' men
when politics was the subject. I
believe, however, that if neither
Roosevelt nor Hughes is named at
Chicago a man satisfactory to all
Republicans will be chosen, and
there is not the shadow of a doubt
that if such a man is named the
Republicans will elect their candi
date.
"The people of this country are
convinced now that the,.,Democrats
are incapable. Particularly are. the
farmers determined that they shall
not be fooled again. jThe advocacy
of a nonpartisan tariff commission
to revise the tariff, coming late as
a Democratic tariff doctrine, will
not fool the people. It is not a
Democratic commission for a pro
tective tariff that the President
wants, but a tariff commission to
revise the tariff for revenue pur
poses only, and this is not a Re
publican idea by any means. Wi
shall have very urgent need of
protective tariff in the next few
years if we are to guard against
the cheap productions of Europe
Furthermore, we must have som
very stringent immigration legis
lation."
While Washington seeks th
views of the country regarding its
choice of a candidate, from every
part of the country comes the
query: "Will Hughes accept the
nomination ?",',.
To this query the following an
wer may be given as sizing up the
uation as accurately as may be
4,0 ne under prevailing conditions:
"Mr. Justice Hughes will accept
the Republican presidential nomi
nation if it comes to him without
protest and is tendered on the
ground that his party considers
him the man most likely to wiest
control of the Government from
the Democrats." This statement
embodies the opinion of important
men in the Republican leadership.
Thus far no man has been author
ized to quote Mr. Hughes or to at
tribute directly to him pronounce
ment to such effect, but it is said,
Mr. Justice Hughes is profoundly
impressed with the view that the
national and international interest
of this country demand that the
Chamber Of Commerce
(Continued from page 1.)
refer to committees, to be taken
up with the I. I. S. N. Company,
all being withdrawn, however, in
favor of a motion finally to refer
to a special committee. The fol
lowing were named on that com
mittee: Chas. H. Wilcox. Tudge
C. B. Hofgaard, K. A. Knudsen,
Sinclair Robinson and W. D. Mc
Bryde.
In the meanwhile the members
of the Hawaii Promotion Commit
tee visiting the island, had arrived.
They were called upon in turn for
remarks and short talks on the
subject of tourists, tourist promo
tion and the work of the Promo
tion Committee were presented by
Chairman E. A. Berndt, Mr. G.
H. Vicars, the member tor Hawaii;
A. P. Taylor, secretary of the Com
mittee; G. H. Angus, member for
Oahu; James D. Mclnerny, of Ho
nolulu; W. O. Aiken, member for
Maui, and W. D. Adams, of Ho
nolulu.
Mr. Paul Isenberg spoke in high
est terms of Mr. Cyril O. Smith,
the new member for Kauai on the
Board. He said, however, that
as a future principle Kauai should
have an actual resident of Kauai
as a member of the committee, even
if he could attend meetings only
once in awhile. It was as important
that the member keep in touch
with Kauai as it was that he at
tend meetings, and he could not
do that if he were in Honolulu all
the time.
Mr. Hans Isenberg brought up
the matter of the halting of work
on the Kukuiolono park road, paid
a high tribute to Mr. McBrvde,
creator of Kukuiolono park, said
he thought that a mistake had been
made in the petition against the
road, which had stopped work on
it, and moved that the county
supervisors be petitioned to pro
ceed without delay with the work
of macadamizing the road as ori
ginally planned.
Judge Hofgaard seconded the
motion, and it was carried by tin
animous vote.
Colonel Broadbent called atten
tion to the fact that the plans were
for macadamizing only to the park
gate, and he understood that Mr.
McBryde intended to pay from his
own pockets for completing the
road to the top of the hill. This
he regarded as unfair and not
right and moved that the county
do all the uecessary macadamizing
This was also seconded by Judge
Hofgaard and likewise carried by
unanimous vote.
Republican party shall take over
the Government. He is said to
feel that the Democratic party is
inept in legislation and weak and
vacillating in administration. He
does not, it is explained arrogate
unto himself superior wisdom as
an administrator, but it is certain
tnat the policies of the Republican
party are better for the country
and that there is no dearth of tried
and efficient administrative mate
rial in the party. He is said to
regard the present situation
domestic and international, ascrit
ical in the extreme and thinks
the country itself desiras the Re
publicans to take hold. It is said
that holding such an opinion he
could not refuse to lead his party
if the party concluded that, for
good and sufficient reasons, he was
the man best calculated to reunite
the factious and lead the party to
victory. Political leaders say that
Mr. Hughes' attitude thus far is
entirely consistent and highly
ethical. He has in all good faith
renounced his candidacy for the
nomination and in a practical way
at that. Thev declare he is not
called upon to say "in no circum
stances will I accept the nomina
tion," for there might arise a
situation in which he would consul-
er it an imperative patriotic duty
to take it, holding the views he is
said to entertain.
In the meantime, it is said that
President Wilson prays every day
that Hughes will remain on the
Supreme bench, and that the Colo
nel will be the candidate put up
against him.
