Tom Daly's Column
JUSTICE HUGHES HAS A
PLATFORM
IlUfclies was a public mnn before lio
ttni n Justice, lie wrotn down then
tits great principles to which he ml-
lieres.
THE statement has been Industriously
circulated that the Chicago convention
will not nominate Juitlco Hughes for tho
reason that tho nntlon does not know
wheio ho stands on the Issues ot the
campaign.
But tho views of Justice Hughes nro
not unknown. They havo beon formu
lated and uttered In public. Wo pilnt
them on another part of this pago today
that they may bo recalled to tho memmy
of thoso who havo f 01 gotten them. Tho
fact that thoy wero stated in nn address
beforo tho New York Republican Club
eight years ago as tho platform on
which his friends weio to suppoit him
for thcprosldontlal nomination that jcar
docs not Invalidate them or mnko them
untimely now. Tho speech as a uholo
might havo been made in all its essentials
yesteiday. It contains tho doctilno of
a sound Americanism, which docs not
chango with tho yeais, and It Is tho pio
fesslon of faith of a lifelong Hepubllcan,
mado in tho presence ot tho membcis of
11 Republican club with which ho had been
Identified for twenty years.
After n few lntioductory woids ho de
clared that tho Republican paity Is tho
party of stability and tho party of piog
less. In enumerating tho things that It
had dono ho bald:
The Republican party has maintained
tho national honor, and under Its direc
tion American diplomacy has nttalncd
tho highest loels of lionorablo purpose
nnd distinguished nchIocment.
If Justice. Hughes should uso thoso
winds today every ono would lnterpiot
them as n cntlcism of tho attitude ot tho
Administration in tho Lusltania case and
its succcssots as well as a condemnation
of tho acjlating policy tow aid Mexico.
But Governor Hughes, as ho was then,
did not copflno himself to tevlewlng the
lecord of his party and lndoiulng It.
Ho mado an explicit statement of his opin
ions because, as ho said, the patty had a,
light tq know what ho believed. Tho
friends of national defcn&c profess to ho
afraid that he Is a paclllst. But ho is
not. Neither docs ho live In that dream
land wheiemon think that foico can bo
dispensed with. Ho said:
It Is our ennstunt aim to lUe In
friendship with nil nations nnd to rcal
lzo the alms of a free government se
cure from the interruptions of strife
and tho wastes ot war. It is cntlicly
consistent with these alms, nnd it Is
our duty, to make adequate provision
for our defense and to maintain the
efficiency of out army and nay And
this I favor
Neither national defciibo nor tho na
tional honor was nt stako when ho spoke,
hut ho took tho ttoublo to let tho coun
try know what ho thought. He was
muro deflnlto and specific on the perennial
lssio of thq tariff. Heie is what he said:
I believe In a protective tariff. Jt
Is an established policy. A
protective tariff Is essential to the In
terests pf our wage earners In that It
makes pqsslblo the payment of wages
on the f.cap to which we aro ucpus
tomctl. The difference In the
cobt of production here and abroad is
the fundamental consideration.
In order to effect whatever readjust
ment may bo necessary to tnaUo the
tariff bcheduleu pnnslktent with the
principles underlying tho protective pol
icy, I favor the appointment of an ex
pert commission so that the facts may
bo ascertained without delay and that
Congress may dispose of the matter In
tho fairest possible manner.
He announced that he did not believe
in governmental ownership of rolhoads,
Ho favored punishment by Imprisonment
of the nfllcers of corporations who vio
lated the antitrust laws, as n fine did
not touch them and was really paid by tho
public or by the Innocent shareholders.
Ho behoved In fqllroad lato tegulatlon
and a strengthening ot the powers qf tho
Interstato Comm"co Commission. Ho
favored conservation of national ie-bourqcjl-
Ho hejd that this Ja a represen
tative government and not a pure democ
racy, and Insisted that a pure democracy
Is, Impossible In so huge a countty. And
he concluded his speech by an appeal to
all Republicans to forget personal differ
ences and unite in order that the Repub
lican party, which does not exist fqr
itself only, mlBlit cqqtlmie to' serve the
nation.
It Justice Hughes chose he could fol
Jqw the examplo pf Colqnel Roosevejt, who
refers those who want to know where he
standi to "Fear Qod npd Take Your Qjvp
pait." Ho would only havp to te thqse
who want to know where Ids feet are to
read his 1003 speech. He Is the sape
man nw that he was then, only a little
more mature, a little wiser and a little
better American. There is not the slight
est doubt of his fitness for the office qf
President, nor any uncertainty about his
belief in preparedness or his devotion to
the national honor,
Whether the Chicago convention nomi
nates him or not, It will act with full
knowledge of hte views. It knows that
whatever ho puts hla. hapd to he does
with all his jnight. As a lawyerhe
astounded the country by the. thorough
ness of lla Investigation Into the insur
ance scandals- As a Qqvei nor he- cqnflnd
his activities, to the affairs of tha Oqyerjj
ershlp As Sweme Cpqrt Justice )je
has dsvoted himself tp the business at
hapd. As the date of the conyeptlon gp
nroacbes his availability la becoming
more and more a nusstlon pf Importance.
He may not b8 the proper candidate, bqt
tab Ids?, tjiat ho has na CPHVoJonj tout
r kjsuewn. and is a concealed HuntJty ig.

WHERE JUSTICE HUGHE STANDS
A Speech in Which He AnnouncrAl His Belief in Maintaining the
National Honor, in Creating an Efficient Army and Navy
and in Appointing a Tariff Commission
WHfljIl Justice Hushes was Governor
of New York ho was luv Itcd to address
the Republican Club of New Yotlt city on
tho Issues of tho presidential campaign ot
100S in older that those who wero booming
him for tho Presidency might know where
ho stood. Ho made tho address nn tho eve
ning of Januaiy 31. The following extracts
from It are pcitlucnt to conditions as they
exist today nnd reveal the views of Mr.
Hughes on questions now beforo tho
country
I have avoided gratuitous discussions ot
questions foreign to my olllclal duty. Rut
when, in lu.stlco to those who havo honored
mo with tliolr confldeneo and to tho paity
which, ns wo nil dealt e, Bhall act freely and
with full into! inalion, it becomes .1 duty to
speak. I have no desiro to remain silent.
Nor should I in any event care to preserve
availability at tho expense of candor.
The Party of National Honor
Tho Republican party Is the party of
stability and tho party of progress. Its fun
damental policies have determined tho
com so of tho nation's hlstorj. Tho Repub
lican party hits maintained tho national
honor, nnd under Its direction the Amctl
can diplomacy has attained Mie highest lev
els of lionorablo purpose and distinguished
achievement. Tho-great names of tho party
are tha priceless possession of the Ameri
can people Tho Republican party Is
chorsed today with a weighty iespons
blllty. Our government Is based upon the prin
ciples of Individualism and not upon those
of Socialism. We do not seek to multiply
tho activities of government so as to bring
about vexatious intorfeicnco with libeity
or to restiict legitimate enterpilso. This Is
a representative government and not n pure
democracy. Tho latter would be unwork
able In nvtountry of such magnitude. Ex
cept with regard to fundamental questions
on matters comparatively simple If la Im
practicable for tho electointe dlrectlyao ex
press Its v lews. v
In this country nrogrcss cannot ha made
save In harmony with our constitutional
system Tha Cnnfctltotlop In Its entirety
must bo observed The power derived from
the people must be exercised upon tho con
ditions which they havo laid down. Wo
must recognize the division of powers be
tween the i'edcral and State Governments.
Having Btated these principles, I shall
dedne briefly my position with regard to
certain particular questions. k
Conservation of National Resources
There Is no matter of greater Importance
than the conservation and development qf
national resources. It la of the most urgent
necessity that ouf forests should bo prq
tected and that these priceless treasures
should bo preserved from ruthless destruc
tion. All the property of the people should
bo safely guarded from spoliation.
I am also deeply Interested In Uie devel
opment of inland watorvyays to prov hie In
creased and, adequate facilities fqr qur
crowing commerce. We should further do
all in our power to extend the arm of prq
ductlve activity through Irrigation and
suitable plana of reclamation
I do not believe In governmental own
ership of railroads, But reeqlatloq of
Interstate transportation Is qsscntlal to pro
tect the peqplo from unjust discrimination
and to seoqra safe, adequate and Impartial
service upon reasonable terms In accord
ance wlth-the obligations of common car-
. tn liiiiA sunprvlufnn 'ulilcli
riers in " .. - --,--. ,.-.., -,.
Is both thorough and just an administration-
board Is ntcessary- t. umi wjih t.n wy
attitude with regard to this matter la so
well understood through my recommendq
tiqna in relation to the enactment of the
public service commissions Jaw In this State
that an extended statement is unnecessary
I approve pf the recent extension of the
authority of the Interstate commerce Com
mission by what is known, as the rate bill,
and I belv that commission should
have the most ampfe powers for purposes
of investigation and supervision and fqr
making rulea and prders which will enable
It to deal to ths fullest extent possible
within constitutional limits with interstate
transportation pin allta phase. This fc, a
just uoltgy.
Tb Bhwman ti-trust act should be
clarified and made w wjueJt. The Uv
may bo mado stronger nnd moro offectivo
by being made moro definite Sweeping
condemnations of uncertain meaning do not
aid but lather cmbat rasa tho prosecution
of thoso who nro guilty of pernicious prac
tices. Combhiatlons and practices in un
reasonable restraint of trado and which
menace tho fieedom of Interstato commcrco
should bo condemned In prcclso terms. At
tho same tlmo provisions may well bo made
for joint agieements, under proper circum
stances, as to railroad rates, which should
ba subject to tho approval of tho Inteistate
Commission.
I nm not In favor ot punishment In tho
shape of flpes upon corporations except for
minor offenses ""In! burden of the fines
Imposed upon such corporations Is cither
transferred to the public or Is homo by tho
stockholders, tho imiocont (is well ns tho
guilty.
Advocates n Tariff Commission
I believe inTlirotcctlvo tariff. It Is an
established pojjoy. Our opponents would
not undertake to present to the viters of
tho country the Issue of freo trade
A protectlvoyarirf B essential to tho In
terests of our wago earners In that It makes
posbllilo the payment ot wages on the scalo
to which wq aio accustomed In till country
and thus maintains our American standard
of living. Hcnco tho difference in tho cost
of pioductlun here and abioad Is the funda
mental consideration.
Rut I do not believe In making this
policy a cover for exorbitant rates or for
obtaining upeclal privileges from tho Gov
ernment which are not based upon con
sideration for tho general welfare.
I belle vo that the tailff bliould bo re
vised And In order to effect whatever re
adjustment may bo necessary to make tho
tariff schedules cpnslstont with tho prlrt
ciplo underlying tho protective policy, I
favor tho appointment of nn expeit um
mlSHion so that the facts may bo ascertained
without delay and that Congress may dis
pose of tho matter tn tho fall eat possible
mannor r
So far ns the matter Is within the power
of Congress the Interests of labor should
bo safeguarded and tho conditions of labor
Improved,
With regard to the Filipinos wo are
placed under the" most sacred obligations.
In justice tq them and in justice to our
selves wo must opiit no effort to prepare
them fop self-govormnont. In the meantime
thq work of education and training must
proceed,
Helicycs in Preparedness
We are devoted to the Interests of peace
and WO chers)( nq policy of fiBHresslon.
The maintenance fit- our Ideals Is our s'urest
protection. It Is pur constant aim to live
In friendship with all nations and to reulfco
the alms of a free government secure from
the Interruption of 'strlfp nnd the wastes qf
war.
It is entirely consistent with these alms,
and t Is qur duty to make adequate pro
vision for pur defense and to maintain the
eillclenur of our army and nay,
AndTthts I favor. ' I
We have 19 Problems that cannot be
solved. '
We must not underestimate the labors
of tho next campaign, It will ho a hard
fought battle. Wo cannot expect victory
Unless wo are united and nothing should ,ba
done to Imperil success. I appeal to you
In the nam? of the papEy to wpleh jqq are
all loyal tq forgptyevery personal difference
