HUGHES AND FAIRBANKS
(Continued from Page 1)
same year for a legislative investigation of the Equitable
Insurance scandal. State Senator W. W. Armstrong, ap
pointed head of such a probing body, called on Hughes,
then on a vacation in Switzerland, to return and act as
special counsel.
The disclosures of that investigation are historic.
They were responsible in the main for Hughes latei being
elected twice as governor of New York. In the middle ol
the investigation he flatly refused a mayoralty nomina
tion. From the outset of his career as governor, Hughes
was in trouble with Republican party leaders. He devel
oped an aloofness from them, and complete independence
id' thought and action that finally culminated in an open
break between him and William Barnes, Jr.
New Yorkers still remember a speech by Hughes be
fore the Albany newspaper correspondents as one of the
most artistic, vitriolic "dressing downs that was ever
spoken. It simply took the hide oil' Barnes. The up-state
"boss” responded by denouncing Hughes as a party in
o-i-ate and traitor to the state convention. Ne\eitheless
Hughes was renominated and re-elected.
The Hughes fight against the race track interests was
probably the most spectacular of all his moves as govern
or. Behind it lay a sentimental interest. While practic
ing law Hughes was thrown in contact with a stenograph
er whose father had been imprisoned for embezzlement
of money with which he “played the races.”
When Hughes became governor his first message sug
gested repeal of the law legalizing betting at race tracks.
A committee friendly to the race interests laughed and
tabled the bill. But Hughes “got his dander up.” He
stumped the state for his plan. Killed at a regular ses
sion of the legislature, it was later revived at a special ses
sion and finally forced through by the vote of a sick sena
tor who was carried into the chamber on a stretcher.
Hughes was first mentioned for the presidency eight
years ago. He steadfastly refused to be even a receptive
candidate. Four years ago he likewise declined to take
any interest in politics. Two years ago his name first be
Stewart L. Woodford, then Y. S. District Attorney. He
was admitted to the bar in 1884 and was just ordinarily
successful until 1891, when, his health threatened by over
work, he became professor of law at Cornell.
In 1893 he went back to practicing and soon became
one of the universally recognized authorities here on cor
poration law. His first public service work was in 1905 as
special counsel for the Legislative Commission investigat
ing New York City’s gas and electric companies.
Hughes’ work in this investigation was of so brilliant
a character that when there was a general demand that

gan to be mentioned as a Republican nominee against
Wilson. For more than a year Republican leaders have
tried to make him “come out in the open” on whether he
would accept the Republican nomination. They didn’t
succeed.
Hughes retired behind his f? st-graying and always
famous whiskers.
Hughes has been consistent in his reforms. He
startled New York with the throughness with which he
probed the life insurance scandal and, when governor,
made bitter enemies of the “regular” crowd by doing just
as he pleased on appointments; by instituting direct pri
maries; insurance reform and anti-race track legislation.
Because of his reform record and his progressivism
of thought, Hughes has been mentioned as an “amalgama
tion" candidate, who would unite both Republicans and
Progressives. He isn’t popular with the “old guard” be
cause his habits of almost “insolent independence” as one
leader has expressed it, but all Republicans admit his
strength with the voters.
