Chandler Price Continues the Same as Heretofore Andrew Redmond, local distributor for Chandler, says that as far as the present tendency or a higher price among; motor car manufacturers is con cerned it does not affect the Chandler, as the price continues at $1,295. This price was established eighteen months ago and nothing has tjeen taken from the equipment, quality of material or refinements, but is up to the regular Chandler standard of quality. Mr. Redmond reports an excellent season's business and with the exception of two weeks when deliveries were delayed at the factory, ne has received regular shipments and several carloads were received this week and others are on the way to care for immediate and prospective demands.

The managers of his campaign from Chi cago are urging him to accept. He said he might have a statement later in the day. 2:1(2 P. M.—The Republican con vention adjourned. JUSTICE HUGHES, REPUBLICAN NOMINEE HUGHES NOMINATED BY REPUBLICAN CONVENTION [Continued From First Paso] Hughes had the necessary 494. New Jersey's vote touched the mark. Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, Col. Roosevelt's daughter, was on the platform when the nomination was made. While the demonstration on the floor was enthusias tic, it was orderly. Marching delegates choked the aisles bearing State standards. While it was going on, the lead ers talked about recessing until 3 o'clock before taking up vice-presidential nominations. Frank H. Hitchcock was quoted by men who talked with him as saying the Hughes men wanted Burton for second place. The New York delegation was equally divided be tween the two former Senators. The demonstration quieted down after 17 minutes and the official result was read as follows: Hughes, 949^2; Weeks. 3; LaFolette, 3; Lodge, 7; Roosevelt, DuPont, 5; not voting, 1. Although the skies cleared and deci sive balloting on a nominee for Presi dent was in prospect, delegates to the Republican national convention gath ered slowly to-day. There were many vacant spaces on the main floor until nearly 11 a. m., the time for conven ing, although the galleries were well filled. Kxpeet One More Ballot The weary delegates, enthusiastic at the prospect that this would be the last day of the convention, put in the time discussing possibilities down at the Audltorum and reading news bul letins. The overnight switch of some of the favorite sons' delegates filled tie Hughes men with exultation and they came in early, confident of nomi nating their man on the first ballot to-day. and sure they would do it on the next, but most of them said a fourth ballot would not be necessary. Discussion of vice-presidential nomi nations was general but not definite. McGratli on I'latforni While the convention was assem bling, John McGrath, Roosevelt's sec retary arrived on the platform and talked with some of the leaders. Not many of them had arrived, however, and McGrath waited. Senator Weeks, who earlier had re leased his delegates many of whom were expected to turn to Justice Hughes took a seat on the platform. Governor Whitman and other leaders conferred with Henry Stimson and other Root men in the New York sec tion. Some of the Republicans on the platform said there was nothing sig nificant in McGrath's visit. Senator Wadsworth, of New York, said many of the Root votes in the delegation would go to Hughes on the first ballot to-day. Chairman Harding said: "We are going to get together." He did not amplify this statement. Ponco Report Delays No effort was made to. c<ill the con vention to order because the latest re port of the Republicans on the peace conference was not ready. It was an nounced there would be no business until the report was in. The New York delegation caucused on the floor to withdraw Root's name and to discuss their vice-presidential vreferences. It was said at that time that the whole delegation would vote for Hughes. Fairbanks Will Accept James Hemenway. of Indiana, de clared that if Fairbanks were nomi , nated for vice-president he would ac ! rept. Smoot Read Report. Senator Smoot presented the fol lowing report from the Republican I peace committee: ; "To the Conferees of the Republican National Convention: "In accordance with the precedence set by yourselves with respect to the communication received from us we Khali take pleasure in presenting ypur communication to the National 1 convention ol the Progressive party which meets at 10.30 o'clock this morning. Respectfully submitted. George W. Perkins, Hiram Johnson, Horace S. Wilkinson. Charles J. Bonaparte, John M. Parker. The communication of the Republi can conferees follows: "Chicago, June 10, 1916. "To the Coilferees of the National Progressive Party: "On behalf of the Republican con ferees, we present for consideration as a candidate for President, Justice Hughes. "It is plain that he will soon com mand the support of a majority of the Republican convention. "His availability as a candidate rests, first—upon his known hcarac ter and ability; second —upon his pub lic service as Governor of New York; third—his removal from any associa tion with the convention of 1912, and the differences which then arose. "The support of Justice Hughes, in the Republican convention respects spontaneous interest and belief in his candidacy, which have shown them selves in widely scattered States and among all classes and groups of vot ers. "These have shown themselves with out any formal organisation in his be half and are on ground for believing that the candidacy would be accept able to all groups of Republicans and would reunite them. "His silence as to recent issues is the necessary result of his judicial po sition. His earlier speeches and dec larations, however, give ground for the assurance that he is in accord with the platform that has been adopted by the Republican and Progressive conven tions. "Respectfully submitted, Reed i-imoot, W. Murray Crane, William E. Borah. Nicholas Murray Butler, A. R. Johnson." Wanamaker Nominates Fairbanks It was announced in the Pennsyl vania delegation that John Wana innkcr would nominate Fairbanks and that the delegation would support him solidly. Chairman Harding: announced the nomination of Hughes and Alexander P. Moore, of Pittsburgh, who voted for Roosevelt, moved to make it unanimous. The nomination was made unanim ous with a roaring chorus of "ayes" and not a single n&. The nomination of Herbert Par sons as national committeeman from New York and John T. King, of Con necticut were confirmed. Plans for the recess before vice presidential nominations was aban doned. There were calls for "Bur ton' and "Fairbanks" but Chairman Harding ordered a rollcall. Colorado yielded to Pennsylvania and John Wanamaker nominated Fair banks. Mr. Wanamaker emphasized the appi oval of businessmen for Mr. Fair banks. Kansas answered the rollcall by seconding Fairbanks and so did Maine. JS'ebraska sent Howard H. Baldridge JUSTICE HUGHES SON OF POOR BAPTIST PREACHER HIM TO FOCCOW Charles Evans Hughes was 54 years old on the 11th of April last. He was born in Glens Falls, N. Y., on the 11th of April, 1862. When it is said that his father, David Charles Hughes, was a Baptist preacher hav ing charge of the village flocks of Glens Falls and Sandy Hill, near by, and that his sole revenue was the sal ary usually paid to such a country gentleman, it is not necessary to em phasize the fact that Mr. Hughes be gan his life, as the majority of Ameri can men who have gone farthest and won the highest esteem of their coun trymen began theirs, in the rather bleak but stimulating air of a home where money is scarce. Ir one respect Mr. Hughes had the advantage over many American boys whose parents were poor. He did not have to fight a long, up-hill bat tle to get an education. Before his father was ordained a minister at Wesleyan University, he had been a teacher of Latin, Greek and English at West River Collegiate Institute in Maryland. Moreover, Mr. Hughes's mother was a finely educated woman. Her name was Mary C. Connelly when Pastor Hughes first met her. She was the daughter of a highly respect ed physician in Delaware county, New York, and at Claverack Institute, from tvhlch she was graduated, she had won distinction for proficiency In the languages, and, what is rather unusual in young girls, tor decided strength in mathematics. Thus we have not very far to seek for the source of that taste for mathematics which is so pro nounced a part of Mr. Justice Hughes" mental equipmert, and which perhaps Is not disassociated with those pow ers of continued concentration of thought for which he is remarkable. Educated By Parents Naturally, the son and only child of such parents did not have to get out and struggle for his early education; it began right at home, and it began as soon as he was able to absorb it. Both his father and his mother taught him languages and mathematics in the little home parsonage. However, he attended the public schools later on. At Oswego, where his father labored for a time as a preacher after leaving Glens Falls, he went into the primary grade school, and at Newark, New Jersey, where the elder Hughes had a subsequent pastorate, he attended the high school, as he did a few years after in New York, when the family went there to live. But in the mean time the home tuition continued. The Rev. David Hughes wanted his son to follow his own footsteps and become a i Baptist preacher. So, concurrently I with his earlier Instruction, his father 'grounded him well in the rudiments of I theological lore. But law, to young ! Hughes, was ever a more alluring | topic than theology, and when, after ; a year in Colgate, he entered the sophomore class at Brown University, it was with a well-fixed purpose of becoming a lawyer and not a preacher. With such a college preparation, and wiMi habits of study thus incul cated in him from childhood, it is not surprising that he emerged from Brown with flying colors. As a mat ter of fact, he took about all the hon ors there were—honors In the classics, the Dunn premium in English, and, above all, one of the two Carpenter prizes given to the two students in each graduating class showing the greatest promise as based on scholar ship and character. He had the rep utation too, of not studying very much at Brown. He did not have to. His home instruction and mental discipline i had been so thorough that he was at a marked advantage over most of his fellow students. He had plenty of time for college amusements, and he went in for them heartily. He was an enthusiastic fraternity man, and has kept up his interest in Delta Up silon during all the 35 years that have elapsed since .he graduated from Brown. It was not until he was out of col lege that the really hard grind of work definitely began. First of all, he had to earn the money to enable him to get his legal education. To do this he taught Greek and mathe matics in Delaware Academy at Delhi, N'ew York, studying meantime in the ; law office of Judge Gleason. Then l,e went to Columbia Law School, read ing at the same time in the office of the Hon. Stewart L. Woodford, subse quently Minister to Madrid at an in teresting epoch in our relations with Spain. At Columbia he duplicated his experience at Brown, winning the highest honor, the Prize Fellowship, which carries with it an appointment as tutor at five hundred dollars a year. He did the tutoring and he earned the very acceptable money. From 1884 till 1887 he worked as a law clerk by day and taught a law class in Colum bia by night. Has Liberal Sense of Humor But he had long before attracted the notice of that eminent lawyer, Walter S. Carter, noted as a collector of etchings and of bright young men In the legal profession. In 1888 Mr. Hughes was made full member of the firm of Carter, Hughes and Cravath, and a certain love affair, long smoul dering but very earnest, culminated soon after the law firm arrangement On the sth of December, 1888, Mr. Hughes and Miss Annette Carter, daughter of the young man's senior law partner, were married. Miss Carter was a graduate of Wellesley to nominate former Senator Elmer Burkett for the second place. liOtfge Endorses Hughes In addressing the convention Sena tor I.,odge said: "Mr. Chairman, my fellow delegates: —This great convention has chosen as its candidate a strong, able, distin guished, upright, man and a thorough American. He should have the cordial support not only of every Republican from one end of the country to the other, but of every man who honestly believes that another four years of the present administration would be a calamity." Elbert A. Braham, of Oregon, nominated William Grant Webster, of Illinois. Delegate Fulton explained that under the Oregon primary law, almost any one could get his name on the ballot and that such a situation explained the nomination of Webster. The convention laughed and went on with the rollcall. Seconding speeches for Fairbanks continued as the rollcall went on. Hit wail seconded Fairbanks and so did the Philippines. OVER THE WHIRLPOOL BY AERIAL CABLEWAY To be suspended In midair over the vortex of the boiling, swirling Whirl pool Rapids at Niagara Falls, Ontario, is a dream which Spanish engineers, backed by Spanish capital and patents, have realized. An aerial scenic cable way now spans the Rapids from cliff to cliff, or from Thompson's Point to Colt's Point, both points being in Can ada. For sheer excitement and thrill the trip by air over the Whirlpool outdoes anything that tourists have ever ex perienced, says the Popular Science Monthly for June. True, there is the first stage of the cablcway which climbs the Wetterhorn In Switzerland: but It cannot compare in magnitude College and fully sympathetic with the decided literary tas*es of Mr. Hughes, for the learned Justice is not wholly given *over to mathematics and legal problems. He likes Balzac, the elder Dumae, good detective yarns, and is a great admirer of Mr. Dooley. It may not be generally suspected, but he is really blessed with rt liberal sense of humor. Like most men of intense purpose and an Insatiable appetite for work, he has paid the penalty in a cer tain fixed sternness of expression, and the reputation of being an "iceberg." Y But he is a capital story-teller none the less, and on his campaigning tours he liberated reserve stores of warmth, humor, and even sentiment, which few had dreamed that he was capable of harboring. "If they perform an autopsy on me," he once said. "I hope they will find something besides sawdust and briefs inside." Though not quite what has been called a "clubable" man, but rather a home-loving, retiring temperament, he is by no means an "iceberg." He likes to hunt in the Maine woods and to climb mountains in Switzerland. For thirteen successive years he never missed the Swiss trip until he was Governor. During two of the trying years he was in Albany he had but one vacation—eleven days in the woods. But hard work has Its limits, and as early as 1891 it had all but claimed its toll from Charles E. Hughes. He had egregiously overdone the thiny. That was the reason he accepted the law professorship in Cornell Univer sity. To be sure, he worked at about his accustomed pace while there, but it was a new field. It served in lieu of a vacation from the trying New York legal grind. But Mr. Carter wanted him back, and in 1893 he re turned, and again plunged into his law work. It was soon after this that nator Stevens picked him as the man he wanted for counsel in the gas investigation. Devoid of Political Ambition It is idle to rehearse now either what h<- did to the gas companies or to the insurance companies. Both events are of sufficiently recent date to remain vividly in people's minds. What the relentless questioner sought to uncover in both caces was such a revelation of unwarranted practices as would form a basis for remedial legis lation. He refused to be diverted an instant from this object. He sought no punishments, no revenges, no po litical capital. He would permit no efforts in either of these directions to confuse or degrade the high purposes of the inquiry. Those purposes he in full measure attained, and in at ! taining them emerged from a species : of obscurity to the status of a coni ! manding figure within and beyond the borders of the State. Of political ambition he was prob ably utterly devoid. He said he was, and every act and utterance of his confirmed what he said. In politics he was a Republican by inheritance and conviction. His father was a fervent Republican, dating back in his party inspiration to the days of Lin coln—a Republican, moreover, who never failed to do his duty as a citi zen on election day, and he voted naught but the straight ticket. But the masterful Republican lead ers did not want him for a guberna torial candidate in 1906. Nor did there ever come from Mr. Hughes tho slightest Intimation that he wanted the nomination. During all the dis cussion he held himself aloof. He would not say he wanted the nomina tion. He would not. permit anybody to present his claims or his avail ability. It was a matter, solely for the people of the State to decide. The party waß split wide open at that time with factional fights. There was no body else that had the remotest chance of election, a fact which was after ward sufficiently demonstrated at the polls when Mr. Hughes was the one Republican on the State ticket who was elected. It haa gone to the people for decision, and they decided it. Governed in Open As Governor, the bitterness he evok ed among some of the leaders is mat ter of history—that and the unswerv ing confidence of the people back of the leaders and the leaders' masters. He governed out in the open, for one thing. He abandoned the inner se clusion of the Governor's suite in the Albany capitol, and moved his desk out into the big reception room. If anybody had anything to say to him as Governor they said it there or it went unsaid. For days the newspa pers had columns of comment and good humored chaff over the curious ' new departure. Then came the veto of the two-cent fare bill, because no facts were pre sented lo justify its adoption; the pass ing of the Public Utilities bill to pro vide for the gathering of such data: and then the race track gambling bill. Long and keen were the knives that were out to prevent the Gov ernor's ren'omlnation in 1908. But the neople still had the bit in their teeth. The leaders no longer led. Mr. Hughes was nominated by a vote of 527 in a convention of 1007 delegates.
