"We believe the courts, federal and state, constitute the citadel of our liberties, for all alike,' and that the vacancies in the supreme court of the United States to occur in the next few years should be filled by the trusted and experienced candidate for the presidency, rather than by an untried .and unstable theorist.

"We endorse the administration of Governor Hughes, who has shown himself a courageous executive, re solved to accomplish what he be-v Heves to be for the public good. He has approved measures passed by a republican legislature, upholding the Integrity of the constitution, main-' tainlng the high character of the pub lic service, providing for the proper regulation of corporations and for the protection of the people's, inter ests. "It is of the highest importance for the preservation of our represen tative form of government that prim- arles and conventions should truly express the will of the voters of every political party. That- there may be the freest action In the selection of the delegates, we favor legislation which will fully protect every voter against fraud or coercion and secure to mm the fullest opportunity to vote-at his party primary."
