Board 104 - Charles Evans Hughes #62

Charles Evans Hughes #62 Justice Hughes was nominated as an associate Justice. He was accepted by the Senate in 1910 and took his seat. In 1916 he resigned his seat to run for President. He lost. In 1930, 14 years later he was nominated by President Hoover as Chief Justice and became the 11th Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. He served in a fractured court during the “New Deal” and all the dissention that molded the personalities of the court into different camps. The letter the Chiefs name is signed on covers the time after he lost the presidential election and was appointed in 1930 as Chief and when Hughes served as Secretary of State. The letter is dated July 9, 1921. There are four photographs affixed to this board. The first shows the chief walking down the street in a suit sporting a cane. The second picture finds him talking with the press corps and another finds him and his brethren leaving the enrobing room and going into court. The other photograph catches the Chief’s wife Antoinette Hughes.
