Charles Evans Hughes Sr. (April 11, 1862 – August 27, 1948) was an American statesman, Republican Party politician, and the 11th Chief Justice of the United States. He was also the 36th Governor of New York, the Republican presidential nominee in the 1916 presidential election, and the 44th United States Secretary of State. Born to a Welsh immigrant preacher and his wife in Glens Falls, New York, Hughes pursued a legal career in New York City. After wo...rking in private practice for several years, in 1905 he led successful state investigations into public utilities and the life insurance industry. He won election as the Governor of New York in 1906 and implemented several progressive reforms. In 1910, President William Howard Taft appointed Hughes as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. During his tenure on the Supreme Court, Hughes often joined Associate Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. in voting to uphold state and federal regulations. Hughes served as an Associate Justice until 1916, when he resigned from the bench to accept the Republican presidential nomination. Though Hughes was widely viewed as the favorite in the race against incumbent Democratic President Woodrow Wilson, Wilson won a narrow victory. After Warren G. Harding won the 1920 presidential election, Hughes accepted Harding's offer to serve as Secretary of State. Hughes left office in 1925 and returned to private practice, becoming one of the most prominent attorneys in the country.
This card, published by “Ralph Finney, Times Square, N. Y. City”, catches a cigar smoking Gov. Hughes at the New York State Fair, sitting with the Fair Commissioners. He is the second from the left of the sitting gentlemen. The card is in excellent condition with intact corners and edges. The image is a little dark but is clean and clear as is the reverse. It is not postmarked and therefore undatable, but Hughes was governor between 1908 and 1911.
