The governor’s planned appearance in the Middle West for Mr Taft challenges New York critics who say he is not a true Republican. National campaign managers view Hughes as a valuable asset whose presence could boost the ticket. Repudiation by New York might alienate progressive voters in the West and give Senator Bryan a platform to argue the party is untrustworthy. Hughes’ candidacy presents a moral issue with broader implications beyond the state.
