There are two' :important matters '.
that many people have bgon making
inqnirv.of me about recently.
1. Who in the oandidate fog the
Republican party to be nominated for '
president in li>28? -There ore several
prominent men suggested for theliigh
oltice but after carefully examining
the record of all of them, I find that Ex-Judge
Onayles. K. Hflghes of New
York is the best rnan and-will give~^~
out' raotrn fniiei deal than any other ?
candidate. He has always been
friendly and fair to our group. As
governor of the gredt state of New
York for nearly -four years he wias
fain All during his term .as judge
of the IT. Supreme 'Thnrt, wbirh J
in ihn hifrhnst trihnn:il in tho world,
nor sectionalism. He wrote the opin
ion, of tho-eourt in the- case of a. Col
oi'ed man against the State of Oklahoma
on the Giund Father Amend,
nient. As secretary of the State he
said- that the forceful occupation of
Haitai by American Marines was con. ?tmry
to international, law.' He said
that when he assumed office he found
them there hut*-if" he "continued as ?
secertary of State another term, they *
would certainly get out.
As president of the Northern Baptist
