LITTLE KNOWN
CHARACTERS IN AMERICA
Charles
Hughes, Sr.
Associated Press
CAL
CAMPBELL
Charles Evans Hughes,
Sr. was an American statesman, lawyer and Republican
politician from New York living
between the years of April 11,
1862 until his death on August
27, 1948.
A child prodigy, Hughes
enrolled at Madison University
(now Colgate University) at the
age of 14. He later transferred to
Brown University and graduated
with his class at the age of 19.
He was elected to Phi Beta
Kappa in his junior year. He
read law and entered Columbia
Law School in 1882 where he
graduated in 1884 with the highest honors.
In 1885 Hughes married
Antoinette Carter, the daughter
of the senior partner of the law
firm where Hughes was first
employed. The couple had one
son and three daughters.
After a short period practicing
law he resigned and taught law as
a professor at the Cornell University Law School.
Always restless to do more
with his life, Hughes ran for
the position of Governor of
New York. After a successful campaign, Hughes became
the thirty-sixth governor of
New York.
Serving as governor from
1907 until 1910 he was responsible for producing reform
legislation in three important
areas. He improved the process of government in order to
move legislation more quickly
through both the state’s House
and Senate. Secondly, Hughes
extended the state’s regulatory
authority over business that was
engaged in public service. And
finally, he was responsible for
the expansion of government
welfare reform.
It was remarkable that one
man could serve in so many roles.
Next, he was appointed to Associate Justice of the United States
Supreme Court only to resign
in 1916 to run as the Republican
candidate for President opposing
Woodrow Wilson.
After losing the election
Hughes returned to government service in 1921 by being
appointed as Secretary of State
under President Harding on
November 11, 1921.
Later, Herbert Hoover
appointed Hughes to be the
Chief Justice of the United States
Supreme Court. As Chief Justice
he would swear in President
Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933,
1937 and 1941.
During his tenure in the
Supreme Court, Hughes wrote
twice as many constitutional
opinions as any of his court’s
other members.
His remarkable intellectual
and social gifts made Hughes
a superb leader and administrator. He had a photographic
memory that few, if any, of his
colleagues could match. Yet he
was generous, kind and forbearing in an institution where egos
generally came in only one size
— extra large.
Today, when an individual is
appointed to the Supreme Court
of the United States it is usually considered a position for
life. This was not the case with
Hughes as he thought that he
could do more with his life — and
indeed he did as his splendid
resume demonstrated.

If today is your birthday:
Don’t concern yourself with what
others are doing. Your success
will depend on the intensity of
your efforts, regardless of the
competition. The answers you
are seeking can be found inside
you. Draw on your inner strength
and self-awareness to make
positive choices and changes.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) — Your personal life will
be in turmoil. Wait for a break
in the chaos before you take
action. Use your time wisely,
engaging in projects you can
pursue without interference.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) — A partnership will help
you excel. Getting involved in
an effort to help others will put
you in touch with someone who
shares your concerns and thirst
for improvement.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
— The calmer you are, the more
you will accomplish. Fretting and
fussing will be a waste of time
and energy. Accept an enticing
invitation and explore exciting
opportunities.

it takes to make those you love
feel important.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
— If there is someone you want
to get to know better, make your
move. The response you get will
greatly affect your feelings and
future. Be bold.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
— Stop procrastinating and do
what needs to be done. Feeling
sorry for yourself or wishing
things were different will not get
you where you want to be. Take
charge and get moving.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) — If you have wronged
someone, set the record straight.
It’s never too late to apologize. If
you clear the air and dispel any
bad feelings that have developed, you’ll feel better.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) — Change your routine and
focus on love and romance.
Pick up something special for
someone you want to impress.
You can turn a negative into
a positive if you reach out
affectionately.
