Excerpt from Republican Campaign Text-Book: 1916
President Faunce"s Opinion of Charles E. Hughes
President W. H. P. Faunce, Of Brown University, Writes As Follows:
I have known Justice Hughes intimately since we were students together at Brown and have seen him a thousand times at work and at play. No man of our generation has a finer combination of character and intellect. Absolutely fearless, unselfish, loyal to American ideals, he is worthy of a nations trust.
All his friends know that behind the dignity of bearing is a rich fund of humor and good fellowship. Whether he is climbing a mountain, reading novels, playing with his children, resisting a political lobby or delivering the opinion of the Supreme Court, he is ever the same rugged, democratic, fairminded American. His varied experience has given him wide horizon and sympathy with every aspect of American life.
He possesses two qualities rarely found together - the judicial temper and the capacity for swift and resolute action. Under his administration the fog which now besets many public questions would be cleared away.
His penetrating mind goes to the heart of any subject he selects and strips of Ethe irrelevant at once. Such a mind is peculiarly needed amid the intricate problems that now confront America. We need more than good intentions.
We need clear vision, sound judgment, strong will, unhesitating decision. In short, we need Charles E.Hughes.
Governor Hughes; Greatest Friend of Labor
The Legislative Labor News, Of New York, October 10, 1910, Had the Following:
Now that Governor Hughes has retired from politics and ascended to a place on the highest judicial tribunal in the world, the fact can be acknowledged without hurting anybody"s political corns, that he was the greatest friend of labor laws that ever occupied the Governors chair at Albany. During his two terms he has signed 56 labor laws, including among them the best labor laws ever enacted in this or any other State. He also urged the enactment of labor laws in his messages to the Legislature, even going so far as to place the demand for a labor law in one of his messages to an extra session of the Legislature.
Only 162 labor laws have been enacted in this State since its erection in 1777 - in 133 years. One-third of these, exceeding in quality all of the others, have been enacted and signed during Governor Hughes"s term of three years and nine months.
With such a record of approval and suggestion of progressive legislation in the interest of humanity to his credit, it is easy to believe that human rights will have a steadfast and sympathetic upholder in the new Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.
