HUGHES REAL
LEADER-BORAH
By Senator Win. E. Borah
WA3H1NGT0N, June 21—The Re
publican convention b'avt us a can
didate Lul, what i-s more gratifying,
i' gavfa llie Republicans a leader,
(jonitlliiug we have not had since
Colonel itooaevelt shuoic iiie du-->t
of* uia teet and dcpsutcd £oux
years ago. Roosevelt was a lead
er and unquestionably the leader
in his party.
Under his commanding genuius,
tlie party reached its lugiieat ca
pacity tor service to the American
I>eoplt, save only once. After
Roosevelt left the party it wiLs
| leadcrless and remained «o until the
adjournment of the Chioago convew
♦icn. Le<ader&liiu lias be« n sup
plied and it was supplied in the
only way true lftadeisbip can be
supplied—by; tlie rank and file of
tht> i-ajty.
Picked By The Voters
It was the voter who instinctive
ly selected Lincoln in I860, and it
was tlie voter who renoniinted him
In li>t>4 at a time when practically
all the prominent men in hia party
were against him. It is a histor
ic tact that had the renomination
of Lincoln depended on th<} so-called,
lie would have been defeated in
the convention. But public opin
ion drove the so-called leaders to
cover.
I venture to prophecy that
time, and brietf time, will dem
on-irate Hughes to be in every
sense of the term a leader of
his part}'. No one doubted that
when his reply came into the
co: vention. In mo(iul purpose,
ill intellectual poller, in tlie
right conception of the true)
aims and obligations and duties
oi the American democracy he
measures up to tne require
ments of true leadership.
