Hughes 15 Nomined for Justice of Supreme Court
Washington April 2 Charles EB Hughes governor of New York has accepted President Tafts offer to the supreme court bench and his nomination now before the senate. This means he will resign the governorship and Horace White of Syracuse will succeed him. The move removes the governor from the coming New York state campaign and aligns Roosevelt with Republican efforts for the fall election. Taft sent the nomination after Hughes agreed, and it was quickly placed before the Senate.
