The President sent this reply to Justice Hughes' letter: "Dear Mr. Justice Hughes6 I am in receipt of your letter of resignation and feel constrained to yield to your desire. I therefore accept your resignation as justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, to take effect at once. Sincerely yours, "WOODROW WILSON." The letter was sent to Justice Hughes bv messenger. PARAMOUNT DUTY TO RESPOND Following is the telegram to Chairman Harding: "Mr. Chairman and Delegates: I have not desired the nomi nation. I have wished to remain on the bench. But in this critical period in our national history I recognize that it is your right to summon and that it is my paramount duty to respond. You speak at a time of national exigency transcending merely partisan consid erations. You voice the demand for a dominant, thorough-going Americanism with firm, protective, upbuilding policies essential to our peace and security; and to that call, in this crisis, I cannot fail to answer with the pledge of all that is in me to the service of our country. Therefore, I accept the nomination. STANDS FOR RIGHTS OF AMERICANS "I stand for the firm and unflinching maintenance of all the rights of American citizens on land and sea. I neither impugn mo tives nor underestimate difficulties. But it is most regrettably true that in our foreign relations Ave have suffered incalculably' from the weak and vacillating course which has been taken with regard to Mexico—a course lamentably wrong with regard to both our rights and our duties. We interfered without consistency; and while seeking to dictate when we were not concerned we utterly failed to appreciate and discharge our plain duty to our citizens. Presented Humiliating Spectacle "At the outset of the administra tion the high responsibilities of our diplomatic intercourse with foreign nations were subordinated to a concep tion of partisan requirements and we presented to the world a humiliating spectacle of ineptitude. Belated ef forts have not availed to recover the effect and prestige so unfortunatel sac rificed; and brave words ha\e been stripped of their force by indecision. "Our desire to see our diplomacy re stored to its tiest standards and to have these advanced, to have no sac rifices of national Interest to partisan expediencies; to have the first ability of the country always at Its command nere and abroad in diplomatic inter course; to maintain firmly our rights under international law; Insisting steadfastly upon all our rights as mutual and fully performing our Inter nationa oblgatlons; and by the cear .correctness and Justness of our posi tion and our manifest ability and dis position to sustain them to dignify our •place among the nations. Stands For Americanism "I stand for an Americanism that knows no ulterior purpose! for a pat riotism that is single and complete. Whether native or naturalized. of whatever race or creed, we have but one country and we do not for an in stant tolerate any dvision of alleg iance. Thorough Preparedness "I believe in making prompt pro vision to assure absolutely our na tional security. I believe in prepared ness, not only entirely adequate for our defense with respect to numbers and equipment in both army and navy, but with all thoroughness, to the end that in each branch of the service there may be the utmost efficiency under the most competent adminis trative heads devoted to the ideals of honorable peace. We wish to promote all wise and practicable measures for the just set tlement of international disputes. In view of our abiding ideals, there is no danger <j£ militarism in this country. \\ e have no policy of aggression; no lust for territory; no zeal for strife. It is in this spirit that we demand ade quate provision for national defense, and we condemn the inexcusable neg lect that has been shown In this mat ter of first national importance. We must have the strength which self respect demands; the strength of an efficient nation readv for every emer gency. Complete Preparedness "Our preparation must be industrial and economic as well as mllitarv. Our severest tests will come after the war Is over. We must make a fair and wise readjustment of the tariff, in ac cordance with sound protective prin ciples, to insure our economic inde pendence and to maintain. American standards of living. We must con serve the just interests of labor, realiz ing that in democracy, patriotism and national strength must be rooted in even-handed Justice. In preventing, as we must, unjust discriminations and monopolistic practices, we must still be zealous to assure the foundations of honest business. Particularly Liver Sluggish?

The letter reached the White House at 3.45 p. m. was taken immediately by Secretary Tumulty to President Wilson. President Wilson read Justice Hughes statement very carefully but did not comment. Secretary Tumulty said it was weak. Here is Col. Roosevelt's "Conditional" Refusal of Progressive Nomination Chicago, June 12.—Five hours after tins selection of Colonel Roosevelt, anß after Justice Hughes' acceptance had been made public, the Progressive National Convention received the fol lowing message: "To the Progresive convention: I am very grateful for the honor you confer upon me, by nominat ing me as President. I cannot ac cept it at this time. I do not know the attitude of the candidate of the Republican party toward the vital questions of the day. "Therefore, If you desire an Im mediate decision, I must decline the nomination. But if you prefer It I suggest that my conditional refusal to run be placed In the hands of the Progressive national committee. If Mr. Hughes' state ment when he makes them shall satisfy th e committee that it is for the Interests of the country that he be elected, they can act ac cordingly and treat my refusal as definitely accepted. "If they are not satisfied can so notify the Progressive part? and at the same time they can confer with me and then de termine on whatever action we may severally deem appropriate to meet the needs of the country.

DETROIT I Time Payments if Desired ■ HUGHES IS REGARDED /IS STRONG CANDIDATE DY The nomination of Hughes has been well receives by the newspapers of the country. His strength as a candidate, his clean record and the strength of his statement in accepting the nomi nation figure prominently in the edi torials published yesterday through out the country. Even Democratic editors find Hughes a candidate worthy of serious notice. The comment of the New York newspapers is as follows: The Sun The Sun accepts with alacrity the opportunity to support for President of the United States a man like Charles Evans Hughes against the man that Woodrow AVilson has shown himself to be. * * * If the substance (of the Hughes statement) had been promulgated In advance of the meeting of the two conventions, we do not see how any Republican or any Progressive could have doubted that the candidate of reunion desired and described by Colonel Roosevelt had, In fact, been found. The World—ln nominating Justice Hughes for President the Republican party has paid to Woodrow Wilson the highest compliment it was capable of paying him. It has selected as its own candidate the Republican who in the popular mind most nearly represents President Wilson in character, in ability, in temperament and in ca pacity for Idealistic public service. The Press—There will be no more of the Progressive party, as such, in this campaign. But there will be a large and vitally important body of Roosevelt followers in the Republican ranks, responding to the patriotic ex ample and inspiring appeal of their great leader that they forget every partisan consideration. Ignore every personal feeling, in giving to the cause of Americanism everything that is in them. And Colonel Roosevelt's par ticipation assures a Republican cam paign with more life and power in It than perhaps any other man could put into it. Brooklyn Eagle—With the liability i of a Roosevelt ticket eliminated, the HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Eagle regards Mr. Hughes as the strongest candidate the Republicans could have named. Boston Herald —The reasons which made the politicians hesitate are cal culated.to inspire right-thinking people with new confidence In the wisdom of their choice. His freedom from any record In connection with the disas trous campaign of 1912 should prove In all respects fortunate. Baltimore American—Without any policy of aggression, but aggressive for its rights; without any pusillanimity, but placatory within all range of rea son, such is the position of this man of admirable ideas and succinct ad dress. Providence Journal The Repub licans have placed in the field an ex cellent and well-balanced ticket, which will command the respect of all citi zens. They are honorable, clean and unquestionably Americans in every sense of that much-Abused word. Hartford Courant—Justice Hughes is in no sense a dark horse or un known. He was not selected as a negative candidate, as a man of no opinion or as a tractable politician. His force of character, his independ ence and action and his Btrong convic tions probably were the main obstacles to his nomination on the first and sec ond ballots. Pittsburgh Dispatch—He is not an extremist; and in this respect repre sent* the great bulk of American sen timent, that Is not whipped this way or that by temporary emotionalism; forceful but not aggressive, he typifies ,the national temper. Cincinnati Commercial Tribune With Justice Hughec in the White House, .there would be no wabbling Americanism, no policies of watchful waiting, but the honor, the flag, the rights of American citizenship would be ever first and invincible. St. I>ouis Post Dispatch—The desire of the bosses to Ignore and eliminate Roosevelt was stronger than their de sire to nominate a man of their own choice. They accepted Justice Hughes unwillingly as the best man to assure the repudiation of Roosevelt and to rain votes from Roosevelt's followers. Chicago Tribune The nomination of Justice Hughes as the Republican j candidate for President was a sound one. Justice Hughes' declaration in acceptance makes it a brilliant one. The letter is a splendid call to arms. Detroit Free Press—lf Mr. Hughes is elected, he will take his place as one of the great Presidents of the United States. The Republican party has made no mistake in chosing Its candi date for the presidency. Cleveland Leader—All Republicans can work and vote for Justice Hughes without forsaking their Ideals or prin ciples; all true Progressives and inde pendents can join with them without stultification. Xcw Orleans Times-Picayune By nominating Justice Hughes for the presidency the Republican national convention registered the will of a de cent majority of "regular" Repub licans.
