Charles Evans Hughes Sr. (April 11, 1862 – August 27, 1948) was an American statesman, Republican politician from New York, 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 Welsh immigrants in New York, Hughes became a prominent attorney and academic. After taking part in the Armstrong Investigation, he won election as the Governor of New York, serving in that position from 1907–1910. He became known as a progressive reformer and an admirer of Britain\'s New Liberalism, enacting legislation such as the Moreland Act. In 1910, President William Howard Taft appointed Hughes as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.
Hughes served as the Governor of New York from 1907 to 1910. He defeated William Randolph Hearst in the 1906 election, and was the only Republican statewide candidate to win office. An admirer of Britain\'s New Liberal philosophy, Hughes campaigned on a platform to improve the state of New York\'s standard of living by moving it away from laissez-faire tradition and enacting social reforms similar to that which had been enacted in Britain. As a supporter of progressive policies, Hughes was able to play on the popularity of Theodore Roosevelt and weaken the power of the state\'s conservative Republican officials. In 1908, he was offered the vice-presidential nomination by William Howard Taft, but he declined it to run again for governor. Theodore Roosevelt became an important supporter of Hughes.
Hughes resigned from the Supreme Court on June 10, 1916, to be the Republican candidate for President in 1916. He is the last sitting Supreme Court justice to surrender his or her seat to run for elected office. He was also endorsed by the Progressive Party, thanks to the support given to him from former President Theodore Roosevelt. Other Republican figures such as former President William Howard Taft endorsed Hughes and felt the accomplishments he made as Governor of New York would establish him as formidable progressive alternative to Wilson. Many former leaders of the Progressive Party, however, endorsed Wilson because Hughes opposed the Adamson Act, the Sixteenth Amendment and diverted his focus away from progressive issues during the course of the campaign. Hughes was defeated by Woodrow Wilson in a close election (separated by 23 electoral votes and 594,188 popular votes). The election hinged on California, where Wilson managed to win by 3,800 votes and its 13 electoral votes and thus was returned for a second term; Hughes had lost the endorsement of the California governor and Roosevelt\'s 1912 Progressive running mate Hiram Johnson when he failed to show up for an appointment with him.
