Mr. H Hughes asserted that ‘the “whole country stood aghast” at “the aban- donment of prerogative and c.ongres- sional duty.” “Now if anyone rises in this, coun- try to say that I am not the friend of labor,” the nominee added, “he knows he is not telling the truth.” Mr. Hughes, reviewing his record in connection with labor legislation while governor\of New York, read an editorial #rom the Legislative La- bor News of October, 1910, in 4vhich it was said~he was the ‘greatest friend of labor laws that ever occu- pied the governor’s chair at Albdny,” “That is~ cdmplimentary, but it is tihe,” Mr. Hughes said. “® was written at a %ime when I supposed, and they. sdpposed, that' I had lett fosever the politicat field. z “What we need in this country is fair-mindedness.
