Tribune Sir: There are many people r.owadsv picking up The Tribune of a "BOraing with ? reeling of comfort. It undoubtedly has it ? . but on the whole it ring true and probably in the most enlightenin, ai 1 s' the fame time genuinely red blooded broad American paper in the country. Tl ': by the narrow ?y or bigotry of oth?r r-'.v'papers th< policy of your paper conies as a great relief We have become almost rer-igned to the fat? of never seeing our thoughts in print. Bul your paper comes refreshingly to the rescue Might I aak you. in view of your policy ol being entirely open and above-board, to in gat? thi? so-called Hughes boom? 1 notice that ?ture it ? great .:? al this boom is tictitious. Your correspondent; keep informing your readers that people are coming out for Hughe? every day. Hut I notice that only the politicians are interviewed. Politicians are no) [.copie. It d ' llect to ar . ? the eoBel laion that the Republican politicians a!', over the ou:.try have been ted from headquartera to resort to conjuring up th - great . enveloping the country in a wave i ?? thu tarn for ? ?

' Voi l nbei a' ? ommerce the ipeakcr would have been n irdered on the Yesterday, a' ? of the New York Chamber of Commerce, the mention of Theod- : alt by Mr. Cheat? was met by a roar of approval. Vet the Republican politicians would have us believe that Roose velt is running a poor second to Hughe* . Roosevelt .*tron**hold.*. Some time ago your paper frankly state? a preference lor Hughes, but p?it i'orwan Roosevelt as possibly available for th? Re publi??BB nomination, asking the question "Do they want Roosevelt?" The answer : plainly written even on the rocks at eountl*. roads:des. "We want Roosevelt." who have voted r him i dialike h'.m BOO want him. have heard this from other part? country. I have had people tell ? personally. I have read receatl) lettl your paper by people who though statins their dielike far Roosevelt now- d?niant. RooaeVi I imagine that the b:g 'natu-.al 1:Il of the country are reaiiy to turn to Rooae v rl*. w:?,h open arms after the horror oi \Vil*on and hia Administration. I will no: rentui a a gu aa to a hat 1er thi ' - cial intereat? prefer Hughes to Roosevelt. Hut it is not at all unlikely that the Re? publican bosse? have promised the bit: m tcrests that they will deiner a Republican administration March 4, 1017. The Tribut.e has a very excusable lean ng toward Hughes. H? would undoubted?* :? great statesman if he desired to take up such work. He i? absolut? penden:, unboaaed \ G< of f*?e? York ? vo. Hut liked it. !'?? . : to e cape ? to get on 'he bench. He i ' tt**d for the bench, tie doei t to leave it. It i a bad thing to nir? the Supreme Court of tho United States up I politics. Huches has been buried on the bench. Th? peopl? neither know him nor his view. But Barne?, Penrose and the other Repub liean bosses hate Rooaevell rhe of the Republican organization, aven if the well known bosses retire to the background. I -o i,.'a. Roosevelt'.' fr.? p':?.
