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.

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.

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.
Thus Charles Evans Hughes was
again elected to the Governorship of
his State, and from Governor he was
appointed Associate Justice of the
United States Supreme Court.—The
