An “independent Republican newspaper” describes New York Governor Charles Evans Hughes as a man guided by service to the people. He gets results from the “boss controlled” legislature without patronage or bargaining, and he takes a stand for what he believes is right. Governor Hughes does not have popular appeal, nor is he interested in power for himself, but he remains dutiful to the role that was forced on him.
