A CONSTIPATION {
' character and great ability," was Justice
McKcnna's comment
Justice Lurt»«n eniil^d: no longer woxild
i he bo the newest member of the court.
Among m^mbrr* of the Supreme pOdrt
bar the unanlmoup expression was that
Governor Hug will make an exoc-llcnt
jjUdpe.
No official in Washington was more
iptoaaed than Aitornoy funeral \Vlck«r-
I sham over Governor Hughess an-, jt
| anre. He expressed himself as eelightci
; over what had occurred and aa c-onfidont
I that tli<- Governor will make an excellent
1 judge. A* soon a* he learned that the
! Governor had actually accepted Mr.
WlckerEham fn;t the following dispatch
to him at Albany: r
Mr. Wicker«ham Gratified.
"1 want to express my great personal
gratifii atinn that you have determined
; to accept the Supreme Court Judpe.shlp."
Speaker Cannon declined to comment
on the appointment, but Representative
: Champ Clark said t^at It was a good
; appointment. "Governor Hughes Is a
, strong man." said Mr. Clark.
President Taft had been warned In ad
vance that Governor Hughes might not
: b»- able to accept because his service as
I Governor of the State of New York had
| practically depleted hi* small private
fortune and he felt the necessity of again
' entering the practice of law In order to
earn a competence for himself and his
1 family. This did not deter the President.
however, and he had optimistically
awaited a reply.
The first overtures regarding the ap
pointment arA said to have been' con
ducted through Senator Root, of New
York. It was not until Friday last that
the President wrote a formal letter of
fering the place to the Governor. That
fact- was carefully guarded. Governor
Hughes deliberated over the matter for
a day and yesterday wrote his accept-,
ancf The leUer reached* the White
House this afternoon as the President
was proparinpto po "'it He delayed his
departure long enough to see that the
nominator wan sent la the Senate and
directed • ,at an official statement be
prepared.

MINGLED PEELINGS HERE
Governor's Loss to Party in
State Regretted en All Sides.
PRAISE FOR SELECTION
Leaders Say That Mr. Hughes's
Work Will Stand to the Credit
of Himself and Republicans.
Th© new* that Governor Hughes had ac
cepted th*> offer of the place on th* Su
preme Court bench left vacant by the death
of .'•:.-■.:..■ Brewer, and would retire as
t^lrf Executive of this state to take hi*
f*af on the bench on th«» second Monday
In O?tnl»er. was received here with mingled
feeling of gratification and sorrow. There
was gratification that the hlfrhwt tribunal
in the country would receive so fine n legal
mind, but this was tempered by the
thought that the Republican party In tills
Mate and the nation would lore the active
influence of so powerful and progressive a
personality.
Th« announcement came as a great sur
priw. as. while some of his most intimate
friends, knew that the I'nited State? Su
preme Court wan a most tractive place to
the Governor, they had come to feel that
h<> would not be willing to lay down his
active work as a member of the Republi
can party. •
State Chairman Woodruff expressed great
till !■ If when told of the appointment.
"Y<>u don't mean that?" he said. "I am
very much Interested. I am very much sur
prised. I have known, of course, that the
Governor has lmd.lt under consideration,
but his action lit a great surprise."
Wl.on Hsk'ed what effect it would have en
politic* in this state, Mr. Woodruff said
'1 am not prepared to pay. The GOT* !
ern.»r> action is such a surprise to me tint ■
I am not prepared to express an opinion on j
its effect."
"Of course, it Is a great loss to the 'Re- !
publican DArty and the political world In j
general." said IJoyd C. Oriscom. president
of the Republican County Committee. "I
feel strongly, however, that th* Ideals for
which he fought and the vlaror which he ;
injected into the organization In this state
will bea n asset of which no man can de- i
prive the party.
Fight Will Still Go On.
"We shall all regret greatly that he will
not be able to 'assist us In the coming cam
paign, but the fight will go on under his I
banner and the party will benetit by the :
virility that he has Injected Into it, by
the enthusiasm for th«» cause that he has '.
ifOOMd and by the Ideals that he has set '
l.efore us.
"Although we must f*el his lops, we must'
■CkilllVJtHge that he is entitled to po on'
the T'nited «tatrp Supreme Court bench if!
his inclinations are hi that direction, after I
the noMe service he has rendered the party. I
He brings a fine mind to the bench an.l i
this state i.- honored by his selection.
"Governor Hughe* was without question I
t!ie greatest campaigner In this country, i
and tV party will feel his loss keenly'
along that line. But the giiprem<? Court I
will benefit by his clear mind and vigor- j
ous expression "
Otto T Kannnrd, former treasurer of the |
county committee and Republican candi- j
date for Mayor last fail. de. lar«d it was a
ppl^n.iid apt ■ intment. It Is too lad to take!
him out of active political life." he added,
but his elevation to the I'nlted States Su- 1
preme <"•> •■ will Increase the confluence of'
the peopl* in that bulwark of the country's !
liberties. He won t have to leave the Gov- i
ernors chair i.ntil the ten, and he had al- i
rf-adV '*■ !ar< -.1 he would not accept a re- :
nomination. "
Norman K. Mack, chairman of the I>em
jxrat'c National Committee, said last !
night: • ' • •
' I'reshient Taft by the appointment of !
Governor- M«gh«»n has removed from New'
.York . politics tlie only mm of the Re-!
..publican, party The appointment will be '•
Bratifymg to tlie M guard. a.- it will en- !
. abl«« it to MOM extent to renew its at
tacks on the treasury. However, 1 think i
Governor Hughe* will make I good Judge."
Ex-Judge Hatch Pleased.
"I congratulate the country. I think
everybody is to be congratulated," ex- 1
claimed ex-JuMire. K.iwar.l W. Hatch, of !
the firm of Parker. Hatch £• She*-!. an.
when he heard the news. Ex-Justice Hatch ;
was formerly on the Appellate bench in
the 2d I >opartment, and has Hell mj to
arguments of the Governor. "I know of i
no man In this country."" he said, "who is !
better clipped for the United States Su- 1
prene Court I believe he Is entirely right
in tie view he has taken of the proposed I
constitutional amendment providing for an!
\ncme tax. The Governor would never be
H'.jb.-ervienl to any influence except what
ba i cmeeive.J to be right »n<l his duty
"I have no doubt that the Governor could
! have made at least *l<«t,O0o a year In private
i practice had he chosen to return to it. it ;
! must have bm a great temptation to him '
j and be d«-ser\es all the more credit because :
lie Su determined to follow what he ton
ceiv. s to bo the path of duty"
"This is a splendid exhibition of patriot
', ism on the part of the Governor," was the
comment Of • I Mayor Both J , w . th. i .\v
president of th« RapahMeaa Club. "The i
: country is to ba congratulated on the ap-
I'dtitmcnt"
Ju.lge William H. TTaeTieiaa. who as
DNattoM of the Direct Primary Association
of tfai State of New York has worked with
the Governor for the paaaage of the Hto- •
' man-Groeti bill, paid: ••It is a fine thing I
1 for tIM Supreme Court. Th.- (iovcrtior baa '
the finest legal mind In tin.- country. It j
will be a grt-iit blow to the party, how
ever.
. "1 am de[| i,t«»d." said l*.uis Stern, for
mer president at the RepuMi. an <'lub. "His
acceptance of the appointment is a greal
|o«> t«. the party and the state, but I doit
think it will have any serious effect on
i affairs at Albany, as be will not retire from
j the Governorship before the fall. To *tt in
I the t'nited St;it«*s Supreme Conti la one of
j the highest honors in this country, but I
f bcltovo it will be a radii t.. the nation to
, have a man of the ability of Governor
UoSJbei in that court."

the voice of the, peopUv <VeciaJi4a it I l •-

hi a young man. nnd there is time to walt
for that, however." %
A Jurist saM In"' n| £ tu that while •*
asaa had ev*-r become a. -candidate for
President after going on the United •States j
Supreme Court bench, there was nothing In j
the Constitution to prevent It. "There a-*
two Instances In history.", lie said, "where
members of the court were known to hare
ambitions to run for President, but neither
obtained the nomination he sought. Put V
seems to me If tlie people actually demand- j
ed th« candidacy of any man it would j<» j
proper for him to resign N from the Halted j
States Supreme Court to accept such a
call."
Congressman William M. Oaldcr. leader
of the 12th IsaimirTr District, said: "I sug
gested bis name to Preslib-nt Taft. Mr.
Hughes is the greatest man In the country
for the place. His withdrawal from poli
tics will be a great -lops to the state. This
Is the greatest thing il.at Mr. Taft has ever
done. The people will now stand without j
» complaint by the decisions of the Supreme I
Court in the Standard < »il «nd tobacco j
cases. I am sorry in a way. 'but I con- j
gratulate the people. I don't believe that j
there was any political C.ime. He has a
liking for the position, and ho accepted it |
because he liked it. Maybe Mr. Taft will j
appoint him chief justice hen Mr. Fuller j
retires. The appointment will pb>a*« the '
conservative business men. and the radicals j
will not complain."
Jacob Brerfner* chairman of the Kings
County Executive .Committee, and Chair
man "Woodruff's lieutenant In. the county, i
said: "There is no question about the en- 1
tire fitness of Mr. Hughes for the place, j
He is one of our groatcsf. lawyers. He has
the temperament for such a life. I con
gratulate Mr. Hughes and the people of the.
country."

ACCEPTS TO SERVE PEOPLE
Continued from flr«t l>n«r.
friends Bay. he fookj that h*> always has
bt '>n the Governor of all the people. He
ha.« stood as the spokesman of the peo
ple. But outside public office he would
be in an entirely different relation to
them. Hi work, however well • meant,
however efficiently done, would lack the
element it had and the prestige sur
rounding it when hi was Governor and
the official spokesman of the people.
Still further, there would be a new offi
cial leader of the people to whom they
would be looking. The Governor would
PI merely a survival of PJsPt&flff period,
trying, his friends said ho thought, to
continue to hold some public credit
without any way of deserving that credit
by genuine public service. And, as the
Governor has made plain on many occa
sions, that is not his nation of the way
public credit is obtained, but, on the
contrary. It comes by representing list
people and serving them every day
faithfully. When that would be Impos
sible the time had come to retire.
So on every count the Governor's
friends said he was disposed to accept
the honor proffered to him by President
Taft. He realized that it meant a life
time of honorable and important ser
vice of the kind most agreeable to him.
It meant an assured livelihood adequate
for his needs and with his old age taken
care of. This honor had come to him
entirely unsought and unexpected, by a
combination of circumstances as remark
able as that which placed him in the
Governor's chair. It looked to him like
the. one opportunity of a lifetime In
round out his life in comfort, in an hon
orable Peace, giving hard, honorable and
important work each day to the people
Of his country. Certainly he was not
going to abandon such an opportunity
for the mere , opportunity of making
money in a private law office. Every
thing In lit* life had so shaped him as
t > fit him for this Work if he was fit for
anything. However far short of th"
ideal qualifications for a Judge he felt
his abilities might be. his entire energy
and ability would be given to that very
important work; and under the circum
stances he felt he would not U- Justified
in declining the President's appoint
ment.
No Active Part in Campaign.
On-erncr Hughes will give up his w.. r k
here in the second Weak Of Oci
probably October 11. Uewteaftnt Gov
ernor Horace White will succeed him.
<>f eourae this m^ans that th>> Cfoveffiiof
will not take any ajcthra part in the
state campaign.
There is considerable difference of
opinion a.s to whether Ike Governor's re
tirement will make any difference in the
legislative situation. TlMhe best in
formed seem to think that it will not.
The Republican leaders feel that they
are now. in a position where they will
have "to go it alone." Responsibility
for all legislative action in this critical
campaign year will be on them. A pro
gramme of pretty general compliance
with the Governor's recommendations
has been laid out. and in the circum
stances it seems unlikely that It will be
altered now.
At the same time there is an undrr
rurr'-nt of so-called reaction which is
making ttactl felt. Progressive Republi
cans say they have little dnuht that with
Hughes . definitely uut of, the st .■• an
effort will be ru*d«' by some of. those
Republicans who have fuught him papal
consistently |o capture the. stats conven
tion. It the;y pained control of that body
they wnuld be. in ;i position to nominate
their own kind of a ticket.
It may be said, with respect to that,
that the Governor's friends declare he
fed* very confident that the work done
in the last four years will "stay put."
He feels that whatever he has accom
plished in the wav of ehanees in political
methods and legislative reform? has been
accomplished because the people stood
behind him In his recommendations. And
he has no r.otion that the people at this
time are going to permit any reaction.
Almost everybody here had i pood
word to -say for the Governor's appoint
ment.

leader. 'If that was the Governors am
bition I am glad It has been *ratln«»d.
I regret that this state must lose his ser
vices."
"I feel sure Governor Hughes will
make a splendid Judice. reflecting honor
on the court." MM SjteaKer '"* d3worth.
I "And I hope that the opportunity may ]
i come for his- promotion to the place of ;
Chief Justice."
Li'-utenant Governor Whit* would
make no comment. . j
"This m»ans ft great gain to the bench
but a great loss to our state." said
Senator Walnwrlicht.
William Names, Jr.. was asked what
effect the Governor's retirement would j
have on the political situation.
"I it.i wondering what the effect will '
be on the Supreme Court." he retorted
like a flash.
Earlier in the> day. before the appoint- j
ment was announced, he hail sail! In an \
editorial In his paper:
"Governor Hughes should never be ap
pointed to the Supreme Court bench.
Governor Hughes i.- an advocate, not a
jii-Ue; a fighter, rot an interpreter, .
Governor Hughes would rather make
laws an say what they are. It would
be galling to him to interpret the mean- )
ing cf Congress when he would have
positive Ideas as to what Congress j
should have done.
"Those who are loudest In their ap
plause of Governor Hughes as # a public (
character and as a smiter of the frWk«i
dragons of politic* dja Ml In their hearts
believe that he Is Judicially minded. We '
trust that for the President's own goooj
h»- will not make th.- mistake of makin<
this tender.'"
Senator Hamilton said: "The accept
ance of th.- appointment by Governor
Hughes confirms what hie frier, al
ways have maintained, that he puts pub
lic duty above material considerations. '
Senator Davis's Views.
Senator Davis said: "I do not think
that by going on tho Supreme Ourt
bench Governor Hughes will s;irren<l-r
his right as an American citizen to ex
press an opinion on men and things in
this state. The appointment is» most ad
mirable. New York deserved the honor.
Moreover, it does riot seem to HM t l Mt
by becoming I Justice «i th fcfgffcfSi
Court in the land the Governor bWOBMI
unavailable as a Presidential candidate
It tORBfI tf> BM he will be most available
there. "
"He- will make a great judge, but it is
■ matter of regret that he bj to bi loM
to th>- state." said BMHCtM N>wc..mb.
Senator Hinman said. "The Governor
is exceptionally, well qualified for the
honor. I cannot *'«• how this" r.omina
4 .n by the President will have any effect
..n the Hughes legislative programme.
As to the effect Of his retirement from
active participation in the political cam
rai^n it is impossible to say now what
it will he."
■ I •!•> n»>t look for any change in the
gi.«lative programme as a result of this
appointment. The President could not
have made a more admirable appoint
ment." said Senator Me;id»'.
Senator Sehlosser said: "I am sorry
that th*> Governor is hi leave the gtatOj
as I think he ought to hSM run again
for Governor. Of course he will make
■ great juflge."
Assemblyman Frisbie sai.l: "Governor
Hughes did a most wise thing in accept
ing this appointment. He Is fofKur re
moved from the turmoil of a Fresi-len
tial r«ttle. He will oceupjy a m^st ex
alted tfllce for life. I bel«T« it is the
office President Taft wntfm prefer."
The majority leader.' Mr. Merritt.
thought that It was an excellent appoint
ment and that Governor Hughes would
he a credit to the bench. "I extend him
my hearty congratulations." he ?a: •'..
"Governor Hugh.-?," -aid AssemMy
man Bennett, of New York, "will make
a fine judge and a great addition to the
Supreme Court. He has demonstrated
that he has a tin.-, analytical mind and
a. judicial temperament."
Assemblyman James S. Parker, of
Washington, said he considered that
G MCI BUt Hughes would be as competent
I Judge as ever graced the Supremo
Court bench. "I would, however, feel
worry," he said, "if his acceptance of the
position would interfere with hi^ taking
part in the next Governorship campaign.
I think the party would materially suf
fer, in fact, if he did not take an active
;art in that campaign."
