His only apparent fear now is that “some weak-minded person,” he told The Star to- day over the telephone, “may take a shot at me,” because of the humiliating publicity.” Logan was due in police court at 10 a. m. to answer to a charge filed Friday of viola- tion of the liquor laws.

Fortunately, the ANSWER to this question can be given, free from all bias, by an analysis of Hughes’ record as o justice of the United States supreme court, This is the best posible test, for during the six years since Hughes was appointed to the supreme court by Taft, nearly every important economic and social question has had to be con: sidered, etther directly or indirectly, by this court The accuracy and validity of this test is apparent from the of Taft. \F THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAD AN. ALYZED TAFT’S DECISIONS AS A FEDERAL JUDGE, EX.

In making thie analysis of Hughes’ record on the supreme court I have taken every case in which he delivered the opinion of the court or dissented, all of the cases in which he concurred with the majority n which he participated in the unanimous opinion of the court.

IN THE OTHER HUNDREDS OF CASES HE EITHER WENT WITH THE MAJORITY OR CONCURRED IN THE DISSENT OF SOME OTHER JUSTICE. The cases in which he handed down the opinion of the majority of the court show him in a somewhat more progressive light. They | show him as a firm supporter of pure food legislation, a strong sup- porter of federal regulation, a constant foe of monopoly control thru price jfixing, and a friend of state legislation in behalf of women and children, On the other hand, there are numerous cases, as | will show in detail in a later article, where he concurred with the majority of the court.
