THE HAT OR THE ROBE?
Dr. Rosewater takes the bull by the
horns and declares himself and the
republican party of Nebraska for
H allies. In double leaded type,
speaking through th columns of his
newspaper, the Omaha Bee, he makes
this significnt statement:
"The rapidly focusing sentiment in
Nebraska, as throughout the nation, is
to i .nulating a demand for Hughes,
wiuch is sure to be pressed with in
nivKini' insistent and nersistanee
We believe a way will be
found in due time bv which Nebraska
will be lined up for Hughes before we
comaiission our delegates to the Chi
eago convention.'
In a word, Mr. Rosewater takes it
upon himself to enter Mr. Justice
Hughes in the lists as an aspirant for
the presidency, and to pledge him the
support of Nebraska in the conven
tion. "A way wiil be found," he i
confident, to cV'leat the purposes oi
the presidential iriTiary law and send
a ii ughts delegation irom -eurasKa
to Clncago, in p;te of the fact that
Hughes name wiil not i-ppear on the
r i it . f X- l.t-
primary ballot and that the delega-
t.on v.-iu be unier . ist ructions to sup
2ort another aspirant.
lr.is is or rrore than orthnan- in
terest and importance. To no one, we
f.incy wiil it appeal more forcibly as
something demanding attention than
to Justice Hughes himself.
Mr. Rosewater, thanks to the
nosition he occupies in the party and
thanks to t:e extreme candor of his
statement, has taken Mr. Hughe;
finaliv and entirely out of the "dark

"throughout the nation" the "demand'
for ilughe-s is formulating, declares
that Nebraska republicans are for
him "by an overwhelming majority,"
and asserts his belief that Nebraska
will support hi pi in the convention.
Such a statement puts the situation

position to enter the political field,

vic'.v of making it impossible for the

thj bench. Such a draft could prop
er'' be made, and submitted to, only
if there had been no campaign waged
for the judical officer in advance of
the event. The entire American peo
ple would realize and resent the im-poiprie-ty
of any man acting as a
member of the supreme court, the
most powerful branch of our govern
ment, participating in its ruling and
decisions, while at the same time his
candidacy for the chief magisterial of
fice of tho republic was being
prosecuted.
Dr. Rosewater lias grabbed the
Hughes hat and thrown it into the
presidential ring. What will Justice
Hujrhes do about it? Will he reclaim
the hat, or will he allow the judicial
robe to drop from his shoulders and
follow the hat? World-Herald.

It is, indeed, high time for President

dent tell the peopie cnit the increased
