Congress, and referred especially to the late
Senator Platt, ■•• Connecticut. •
MR. SPOOLER'S SPEECH.
Mr. ■■<■:■- references to Secretary Taft
■were loudly cheered. He said, among other
thine?: ,
I want to impress upon you that while you
may differ on political questions there is some
thing -which rises above politics, and something
which lawyers cannot afford to differ on. The
lawyer under his oath owes it to bis country
and* to himself to stand firm to the basic prin
ciple of popular government. He must believe
that the essentials in government are three co
ordinate branches — the executive, the legisla
tive and the judicial. Each must keep within
its bound or lepiesentative government cannot
exist. . . .
And when you find a government in which
the three branches have become subordinated
to the "will of the executive popular govern
ment has ceased to exist. I speak of this in
an impersonal wav The last hop« of liberty
In this government is an upright, fearless, in
corruptible judiciary- If in tbe lapse of time
you find a political body advocating any meas
ure which f=e#\kp to impair the foundation of
government as laid down by the founders, a*?
you value your oath of office fight it. The
principle of the three co-ordinate branches of
government ought not to be forgotten for a
moment.
1 am jrlad the next President of the, United
States Is to be a lawyer, a lawyer who knows
the constitutional limitations of the executive
and the other branches of government. Mind
you. I do net say who that lawyer will be.
After the luncheon Secretary Taft donned the
robes of a doctor of laws and presently went
to the law school, where the formal com
mencement exercises were in progress. As he
entered John W. Foster. Secretary of State in
the administration of President Harrison, was
making an address on "The Evolution of Inter
national Law." Cheers for the Secretary of
War interrupted the speech for a moment. Mr.
Foster dwelt mainly on the work of the United
States toward securing general arbitration.
AT THE MEDICAL SCHOOL.
Mr. Taft's last official appearance of the. day
was made at the commencement of the Medical
School. As soon as that was over a tired
statesman became simply -'Bill"' Taft. *7S. and
seemed glad to make the change- He was
ei:eered everywhere he went on his way to the
home of Mr. and Mr?. W. W. Farnam, where,
■with Mrs. Taft and his son Charles, he will be
a guest until he goes to New London for the
•boat race on Thursday.
The Secretary and Mrs. Taft were the quests
of honor at an informal dinner given by Mr.
and Mr*. W. W. Farnam to-night. The other
gu««t? invited to meet them were Mr. and Mrs.
EH Whitney. Mr. and Mrs. John F. Stevens.
Mr. and Mrs. George McLanahan, John Day
Jackson. Mr? William K. Townsend. Lee Me-
Clurr and Miss Olivia Felt.
After dinner Secretary Taft. with Mr Far
nam. drove tr» the Edwards House There an in
formal reception of the members of th« class
was held, with an exchange of reminiscences
and stories of the day when the class was a
real live vi ire in the undergraduate body at Yale.
It was notable that all the member* of the class
referred to Mr Taft as -'Big Bill, the sobriquet
attached to him when he, was in college. It was
recalled with immense satisfaction that "Big
Bill" and Herbert W. Bowen always led the
class rushes, and many a story was told of their
prowess in this respect.
BUSY DAT TO-DAY.
To-morrow will be a busy day for Secretary
Taft. He will address* the alumni gathering in
Alumni Hall, which will be presided over by
Hart Lyman, '73. following the annual address
of President Hartley, for trie responses always
come from distinguished members of three or
four of the reunion classes. Then he will go to
th» university campus, where in th« presence of
th# class of ISOS. h<» will make one of th« ad

In the afternoon Mr Taft will he at the ball

that his desir« Mil be gratified by to-morrow's
game with Harvard, when the Blue i=e»k«> r*>

thousand tickets have been sold, and the indica
tions are that th* spectacle will be one of the

Secretary Taft desires to m«t in conference
some friends in New York on Friday. He prob
ably will go to New York on Friday morning.
Whom he will meet there has not yet been die
closed, but it is certain that the conference will
relate to the selection of a chairman of the Re
publican National Committee.
MAY MEET HITCHCOCK.
Secretary Taft has indicated his desire to ob
tain from Republican leaders and his own inti
mate political friends a consensus of opinion as
to the selection of a chairman. It is not unlikely
that he may meet Frank 11. Hitchcock, the
Washington manager of his preliminary cam
paign for. the nomination, as it is known that
•■ is Mr. Hitchcock's intention to come East for
at least a brief vacation.
The Secretary K*id to-night that he expected
to take dinner with pome friends in New York
on Friday night. At that dinner it is assured
that trie national chairmanship mill be consid
ered in all its phase*. The Secretary indicated
definitely that M intimation of an announce
ment concerning the selection of a chairman
•would be made until after the meeting of the
mb-cr.mmitte/> of the national committee in
Washington on July 1.
"I am not discussing politics these days," said

IT WAS SENIORS* DAY.
To-day was pre-eminently that of the seniors,
or would have been had not the arrival of Sec
retary Taft attracted Bf> much of the attention
that is normally theirs on class day. However,
the graduates had a perfect day for their final
undergraduate prank?, and the merry jests and
ancient quips that class day historians and
prophets and presentation orators have from
time immemorial indulged" in found as much
laughter as usual to greet them, and as many
interested girls as ever to applaud hits at the
expense of their own brothers, or. failing such
a possession, some other girl's.
To-night the seniors had their ball, and even
the intense heat, which showed no signs of
abating, was not enough to prevent enjoyment
of dance after dance. In fact, the general im
pression among the dancers seemed to be that,
as it was much torr hot to sleep anyhow, it was
better to spend the night in the ballroom than
tossing sleeplessly bi bed.
Both Sheffield ana academic seniors held class
day exercises to-day, the academic men using
for the purpose an amphitheatre built in College
Square. There, with the tiers of seats around
them filled with relatives, and guests, the seniors
sat and smoked class pipes. Joseph William
Murphy was class day orator, and Joseph How
land Auchincloss, of New York, was the poet of
the day. Then came the planting of the ivy and
the procession which ended the undergraduate
life ef the clase. „
"TAD" JONES PRESIDES.
T. A. D. Jones, captain of the baseball nine,
which plays Harvard to-morrow at Tale Field,
presided at the Sheffield exercises, which were
held in Sheffield Square, as president of the
senior clap?. The senior historian was David
Duryea Irwin. of Boston.
The commencement exercise? of the medical
school were held in College Street Hall this
afternoon, the principal addresses being deliv
ered by Professor William T. Sedgwick, of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, whose
subject was "The Cail to Public Health " Pro
fessor Sedgwick spoke of the opportunities for
higher service opening to the medical profession
in the movement to-ward a more proficient liv
ing.
There was a reception for the graduating class
of the Sheffield Scientific Schc.nl this afternoon,
and in the eaxly p»rt af the evening there was
the annual commencement concert of the musi
cal clubs. Tihich was well attended despite the
heat.
OYSTER BAY WANTS TAFT.
To Invite Him to Open Campaign
There— President Resting.
f By Telegraph to The Tribune. 1
Oyster Bay. June 22 —Secretary Taft is in be
invited to open his campaign in Oyster Bay.
The President's neighbors, learning to-day that
Mr. Taft was due here on Saturday to hold a.
farewell official conference with the. President at
Sagamore Hill, decided to send him a formal in
vitation to speak her*, and if present plans sr»
carried out will transmit the document to him
to-morrow or n*?xt day s n that he will have time
to prepare an address r-n the issue? of the cam
paign should he decide to accept the invitation.
The citizens think that Oyster Bay is an ideal
place for th«» beginning of Mr. Taft's canvass.
It would also be a compliment to the President,
they think, for th» Secretary to open his cam
paign here.
Secretary I»eb and his assistants at the exec
utive offices? got into the swing of their sum
mer work early this morning, and within two or
three hours of their arrival at their desks had
the office routine running as smoothly as though
they had been here for weeks. Mr. Lioeb made
a trip to Sagamore Hill in the forenoon with a
large sack full of official correspondence and
documents, and spent two hours with the Presi
dent in his library. When the secretary re
turned to the village he announced the appoint
ment of John Callan O'l^aughlin as secretary
of the Toklo exposition commission, which will
install the. American exhibit at the big Japanese
show. Mr. I>oeb explained that the President
had merely indorsed the selection of the mem
bers of the commission when he made the ap
pointment.
Owing to the intense heat the President did
not go horseback riding or take any violent
exercise, but remained about the house all day,
in practical seclusion and to a great extent free
from official cares. He spent the hottest hours
reading.
New Haven. June 22.— Secretary Taft and
General Luke. E. Wright will go to Oyster
B%y on Saturday morning for an extended con
ference with the President. It has not been de
termined whether the Secretary will remain at
Sagamore Hill Saturday night, but it Is not un
likely that he may. It is his present intention,
he said to-night, to return to Washington some
time on Sunday, although he thought it possible
he might not reach the capital until Monday
morning. At the conference uith the President
Secretary Taft and Geners.l Wright will consider
pending questions before the War Department,
au<l the {secretary will discuss with President
Roosevelt the selection of a chairman of the
Republican National Committee.
SECRETARY TAFT DELAYED AGAIN.
Philadelphia. June 22.— Secretary Taft. who passed
through this city to-day on his way to New Haven,
was delayed a second time by a disabled locomotive
on his way Kaet. The accident to the locomotive
of the train on which the Secretary was travelling
yesterday brought the Presidential nominee into
Piltsburg two hours la»« last night, and a*, the
suggestion of Pennsylvania Railroad officials he took
the etghteen-hour flyer Baal jo make better time.
Locomotives were chanjred at Harrishurg early to
day, and at Atglen, forty-sever* miles west of this
Ibis city, the engine broke down. After a .slight
delay a smaller locomotive was placed in service,
and it brought the train to the West Philadelphia
yards forty minute? late. A better locomotive was
attached to the train in the yards, and some ef the.
tune was made up on the run to New York. Secre
tary Taft was still in his berth when the train
rissei through here, and he was not aware of the
second breakdown

ftEteYQBK DAILY TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, JUKE- ??. 1908-
MR. TAFT COMFORTABLE.
Weather All Right "for a Cool
Man" He Says at Ferry.
William H. Taft, .Republican nominee for Presi
dent, passed through this city yesterday, on his
j way to New Haven to attend commencement at
j Yale and a reunion of his class— '7B. He ap
i peared to be In excellent health, and while it
: was evident that he. felt the hot weather like
I most of those who greeted him, he himself de
| clared that it was "quite comfortable for a cool
man." Hl* double barrelled comment quite flustered
the man who had sprung the time honored hot
weather remark on him.
The Taft party. in which were Frank B. Kellogg,
special United States Attorney In the Standard Oil
} prosecution: Judpe Hollister. of Cincinnati, and
i James Williams, the latter two classmates of Mr-
Taft at Yale, reached the Pennsylvania station in
Jersey City a few minutes after 10 a. m. A num
ber of railroad detectives kept back the throng
of commuters who pressed closely around to see in*
man at the head of the Republican ticket. His
big fojni loomed half a head over the moving
throng, and everybody who could see him recog
nized him. There, was no demonstration and no
disorder as he and his party walked to a 23d street
ferryboat.
As he stood waiting for the boat a few moments
several persons came up to shake hands with him.
•We're rooting for you. Mr. Taft." said one man.
•Well, that's what counts." replied the candidate,
as he gripped the man's hand.
On the ferryboat Mr. Taft received a group of
newspaper men. He said ho was going to meet
his wife at the Hotel Manhattan and then would
go on to New Haven. ....
•I expect to remain there for three days, 1 he
said. "I may go to the boat race at New London
on Thursday; it will be a great temptation for me. j
I shall probably go to Oyster Bay on the 26th j
with General Wright, my successor in the of.ice of ,
Secretary of War. if he Is here then, to discuss
matters in connection with the administration of |
the War Department. I shall go on to Washington
from there."
"When do you expect to get your vacation. Mr-
Secretary?" asked one newspaper man.
Mr. Taft laughed heartily as lie replied that he
had not had any great deal of vacation in the last
eight years. He laughed vigorously also as he
answered the next question-a query about his
Judgment on the outcome of the election.
■A 'man must be an optimist to succeed these
days." he said. He declined to hazard any pre
dictions about his opponent. Of Mr. -Sherman, his
running mate on the Republican ticket, he said:
"I esteem' Mr. Sherman highly. I have known
him a long time." .
Mr. Taft said that the Chicago demonstration for
President Roosevelt was genuine, as any Roose
velt demonstration must be.
From 23d street he took a carriage to the Hotel
Manhattan, where he found that Mrs. Taft and
his son Charles had. gone on to New Haven. Then
he, went to the Grand Central Station. The only
demonstration on this part of his trip came at
the 33d street ferry slip, where a group of passen
gers and longshoremen recognized him and sent
up a burst of cheers.
He chanced to take a train for New Haven which
was loaded with Yale men. and there it was dif
ferent. As the train left the station a line of
passengers had formed outside the door of the
Pullman in which the candidate rode, most of them
Yale, men waiting to greet this Yale alumnus.
ELLIS ANSWERS BRYAN.
Ohio Com mitt eeman Defends Anti-
Injunction Declaration. •
Columbus. Ohio, June 22.— Attorney General Wade
H. Bills, of Ohio, who was a member of the com
mittee on resolutions of th* Republican National
Convention, in a statement Issued to-night replies
to criticisms of the platform made by W. .T. Bryan.
The Attorney General's statement, in part, follows:
The charge made by Mr. Bryan that, the Repub
lican declaration with respect to the use of th«
writ of injunction was designed to deceive tne
laboring man." is unworthy of a candidate for
President, and the further charge that this plank
merely declares the existing law and will give no
relief in those caees in which there has been an
abuse of discretion or the apprehension of it. Is un
worthy of any lawyer who has examined this ques
tion. " The anti-injunction resolution is a frank,
clear statement of the Republican party's position
on a question on which others have beer attempt
ing to deceive labor. The sole basis of any ra
tional complaint as to the issuance of injunctions
in labor cases ha? been the use of the writ with
out notice and the long delays in some instances
which have intervened before a hearing of the
case The. present statute does not require any
notice at »11 before the granting of a temporary
order, and it is entirely within the discretion of
the court to postpone to any timo the Judge- ma;
tee fit the hearing upon the question of an in
junction. ...
1U The Raptifeliean plank simply declares that notice
shall always be given, unless an irreparable injury
will result from delay, and. in that case, there shall
be a speedy hearing provided. In other words, the
platform declaration Is designed to give assurance
that what Is now the general practice in the fed
eral courts shall be made universal by statute, In
order that hereafter no cause of complaint or mis
apprehension shall remain. This may not satisfy
the extremists on either hand, but it was not ex
pected to do that. It will meet the approval of
every right-thinking man. whether an employer or
an employ*-.
Mr. Bryan objects further to the phrase in the
injunction plank which proclaims confidence in the
integrity of the courts. It is true, perhaps, that
the convention which is yet to meet at Denver,
rather than that which has just adjourned at Chi
cago, should express faith in the integrity of the
courts, but. in view of the Democratic attack in
3596. and the fact that the same forces which then
controlled that party are once again in supreme
command, it would seem entirely appropriate for
the Republican party not only to remove any pos
sible use of complaint in the use of the writ of
injunction, but to make it clear that it would re
went 'again, as it did in 1896, any attempt to assail
the judietary.
All that any one wants is tbat the powers of the
federal courts with respect to the use of injunction
shall be accurately defined J<v statute, t# the end
that all occasions for complaint In labor case-*,
which, happily, have been rare in the past, sha.ll
disappear altogether In the future. The Republican
plank points to a simple: and straightforward way
of achieving this purpose.
TAFT IN THE SOUTH.
Strong Business Sentiment, Say*
E. C. Duncan, Seaboard Receiver.
I By Telegraph to Th* Tribune ]
Baltimore, June "2.— Several Southern states will
swing into the Taft column, according to the pre
diction of B. C. Duncan, of North Carolina, one
of the, receivers of the boa i-1 Air Line. Mr.
Duncan Is a Republican, but declares be is taking
no partisan view, basing his prediction on talks
With business men in the South.
"Taft, 1 believe, will get th« electoral vote of
North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky," said
Mr. Duncan here to-day. "i hesitate to speak for
Maryland, but It will not.be out of place for me
to predict it will go for Taft. In Virginia the Re.
publicans have a fighting chance. In North Caro
lina. Kentucky and Tennessee the Bryan element
Is in control, but (here is growing dissension in
the party ranks that amounts to almost revolt.
"Business men and bankers with whom 1 have
talked •will have none of Bryan. Many of them
have never voted anything else but a Democratic
ticket, but they prefer Taft to Bryan. The. latter
they think too radical, and think that to put him
in the Presidential chair would deal the business
interests of the country a staggering blow.
"Having brought his party to defeat twice, them
is a feeling that Mr. Bryan should she way to
other party leaders. In th« event that he does
not ho will have trouble in the South.
"As a matter of fact, the so-called "solid South'
Is a myth. Party lines are not no closely adhered
to as formerly. It is no uncommon thing for a.
Southern state to break away from the Democratic
party, evidences of which are Kentucky, Maryland
and Missouri. The business men of the South now
vote for men and measures." .

continue to be received fit Secretary Tart's office,

I THE CONGRESS CAMPAIGN.
I -
Mr. Sherman May Retain Chairman
ship—Plans of Committees..
Washington. June 22—The question a* to Wbtfc
or Representative Sherman will remain chairman
of th« Republican Congressional Committee Is not
regarded as conclusively settled by persons who
are familiar with the work of the committee in
this city. It is expected that it will be decided
when the Republican National Commute* meet*
here on July 1. when both Mr. Taft and Mr. Sher
man will be present and when many matters re
lating to the campaign will be settled. It is be-
I lieved that in advance of the selection of a chair
! man Mr. Sherman has done nothing to determine
i just what part he will take in the campaign. The
positions of Secretary Taft and Mr. Sherman, so
far as their official duties are concerned, are not
regarded here as identical. The resignation of Sec
retary Taft was expected by every one. as it was
manifestly impossible for him to attend to the du
ties of Secretary of War and be a-, the head of the
Republican- ticket. There are many instances in
which men have remained members of the- House
of Representatives and gone into campaigns for
other offices, not resigning from the House until
the result of the campaign had become known. Mr.
Sherman will probably continue to be a member of
the House of Representatives until March 4. It is
said here that in filling the office of chairman of
the Congressional Committee he will neglect no
duty he would have performed if he had not been
nominated on the Republican ticket. In this view
of the case many of Mr. Sherman's friends Hers
consider all talk of his resignation as chairman of
the committee or as a member of the House purely
speculative.
The committee has arranged to have a branch
office in New York city, which will practically be
Us headquarters, although technically headquarter?
will remain In this city. The New York office will
be on the fifteenth floor of the St. James Building
«nd will be opened on August 1. The officers of the
committee will spend most of their time there, and
from that office much of the literature will be cir
culated.
The campalam book will b« out unusually early
this year— probably six weeks sooner than it wa«
issued four years ago. Tha proofs are practically
corrected up to date on such matter as can be
handled before the Democratic convention meets.
It is always customary to reserve a portion of the
book for comment on the action of the Democra,ti<s
convention and to include the Democratic platform
for the Information of campaign speakers. The
book will follow closely along the lines of the last
campaign book, except that some new issues will
be introduced and others that have ceased to be
of interest will be dropped. Considerable space will
be devoted to the question of injunctions. Thera
will be biographical sketches of the candidates, and
the work of the. Republican Congress will be given
fully, particuarly of the last three sessions. At
the latest, tli« book will be. issued on August i.
This will give campaign speakers an. opportunity to
be prepared for an early opening of their work
wherever desired. The committee is planning its
work with the idea that this year- more than ever
before the campaign will be waged by means of
literature, through the press and by pamphlets and
speeches. For that reason the early Issue of tha
campaign book has been regarded as especially de
sirable. The committee has been overwhelmed with
replies to its offer to pay $150 for the best article,
not exceeding on* thousand word?, on "Why the
Republican Party Should Be Successful Next No
vember." About five hundred replies have already |
been received, although the offer has been out only j
three weeks and goes not close until after tha Demo- j
cratic convention. It Is said at headquarters here
that a large number of replies havo come from the
South, and every mail brings a batch of them.
The Democratic Congressional Committee is mak
ing an early start in the publication of a cam
paign book that is unique in the history of tha
party. It will be published on July 1, and will con
sist entirely of extracts from speeches In Congress.
Later the committee will Issue another book, con
taining additional campaign matter. The commit
tee will open headquarters in Chicago on August 1,
and Representative James T. Lloyd, of Missouri,
the chairman, will take charge there.
HUGHES OUT, SA VS AGNEW
Can't Be Renominated for Gov
ernor, Senator Believes.
Senator George B. Agnew, close friend of Gov
ernor Hughes, the member of the Senate who in
troduced the Governor's bills hostile to racetrack
betting, said yesterday on his return from Chicago
that in his judgment the Governor would not be
renominated.
"I believe that in the last two months the Gov
ernor has lost a, great deal of ppestlge with Re
publicans," said Mr. Agnew. "I do not believe he
will be a candidate for renomlnation. The politi
cians without exception are very resentful toward
him. The Republicans on the train talked of him
with unmistakable bitterness, and as if they were
done with him."
■"Do you favor the renomination of the Gov
ernor?"
"No. not at the present time; it is a little early
to be for any one. I don't think he could be forced
upon the party."
"And you wouldn't be the one to try it?"
"No. 1 .lid feel earlier 1n the year that when
Hughes had had a little more experience in offi
cial life he would show some of that 'red blood*
that they talk about. But every time I mention
the subject every one My » -No," and I begin to
think they are. right. I think officially he has
made an ideal Governor, and I think lie is perfect
ly sincere In his belief that he shouldn't pay any
attention to his friends or follow their advice But
1 believe if he had heeded his friends instead of
taking advice from outside he might have been
nominated at Chicago."
"What if he should announce his candidacy for
the renomlnation for Governor?"
•If the convention were to be held now i don
believe he could be. named. Certainly he could not
if hi» boom were In the hands of the same people
who had charge of his Presidential hoom. Three
months from now it may be different.
• How would the local organization stand toward
him if he should announce his desire. f.»r a re
nomination?"
"I think it would havn to ha for him "
Speaking of the po*sib!« candidates for the eov
ernorshlp nomination up the state. Senator Acnew
said:
"I think Speaker Wadsworth could have the
nation If lie wanted it. Of all the up3Ute
BMW he. seems to to. the most available Out at
the convention, however, it was the understanding
among the Hl>f>ak«-r'n friends that he old not want
to be considered for the nomination."
Senator Agnew said that while at Chicago he

CONNEBS TO SEE MURPHY.
Bryan a Bitter Till, hut Thinks He
Can Beat Taft.
Charles F. Murphy, th* Tammany leader. is plan
ning to start for th« West on Saturday, stopping at
Chicago for a conference with some of the anti-
Bryan leaders before going on to Denver. He will
also meet with representatives of William J. Bryan,
who, it is understood. have a message from Mr.
Bryan for the leader of Tammany Hal!.
William J. Conners. chairman of the Democratic
State Committee, was at th«» Hotel Knickerbocker
yesterday. He will go to Good Ground to-day to
see Mr. Murphy. Mr. Conners came from Buffalo
in a touring car, starting th» latter part of last
week.
"I'm goin? down to play golf with Murphy." said
Mr. Conners.
"It is reported that you are booming Lieutenant
Governor Chanler for Governor. Is that a fact?"
was asked.
"Well, he'd make a good candidate, wouldn't he?"
retorted Mr. Conner*.
"I won't believe that Bryan is to be the candi
date, until I see it at Denver." sail Mr. Conners.
"Assuming that it is to be Bryan, can you bf-at
Taft?"
"Yes." said Mr. Conners. with reluctance, a* if
the prediction caused him aches. "Yes. I guess he
will beat Taft all right, but there are others who
can beat him beyond a doubt."
"How about Johnson?"
"Say, there's a maji— Johnson. He would beat
Roosevelt's man to a pulp, without half trying."
"How about Gray?"
"He could do it, too."
"Will the New York delegation fall in line for
Bryan if he is nominated at Denver?"
"Well, we'll wait till the convention nominates
him and see."
"Will there be a court plank in the Democratic
platform?"
"I'd rather have none at all than the one in the
Republican platform. That don't mean anything.
That Republican ticket Is a "Big Stick' ticket. The
people didn't have a look-in out there at Chicago.
Roosevelt had the convention wlupsaweii. and
whatever he said went. Kings can name their sue.
cessors, and Presidents can try to name their suc
cessors, but I don't think the American p«o[il<> w i\
stand for it. Taft is the weakest man the Rpiv.ih
licans could name. There are several stronger m*n
any one of whom would have been stronger than
Taft."
"How about Sherman?"
"Oh, every one knows about '.Mm Sherman."
said Cbnnera. "He'll be a good eaongti man for
Vice-President. "
Mr. Conners said he wished the Republicans
would renumlnaUi Hughes, as he was confident the
Democrats would beat him.
