resources -- charles evans hughes in the 1916 election. just to also further explain your position, charles evans hughes' law firm, practiced private practice, still exists today in new york city. we went there and talked to one of the senior partners who talked a little bit about charles evans hughes and his support for women's voting. >> very proud of an original addition of "the independent weekly" magazine which came out the week after justice hughes received the republican nomination for the presidency. that's mrs. hughes on the cover, who was obviously a very important person in justice hughes' life and in particular with respect to the issue of the magazine she's on here because of his support of women's suffrage, which she supported as well. something we learned in the magazine that we weren't aware of beforehand, which isn't often talked about with respect to justice hughes, is that the republican party platform in 1916 was that simply each state would have the right to determine whether or not women would have the right to vote.

we're featuring charles evans hughes, who was the nominee for president in 1916. it was a close election against wood row wilson who was vying for his second term. hughes went on to serve as chief justice, a second term on the supreme court. and was very much at the center of things during fdr's court packing scheme. from mississippi, anita. anita, hello, you're on the air. >> caller: to the professor, i hope you have a healthy and happy baby. i try to catch you every friday night. my question is, hughes, justice hughes sounded like a man who was for progression, and i hear you wax and wane about how he wanted the blacks for it. i wonder what you all would think about women stepping forward and them being on the court now, and what he would think about the wrong doings that are going on in the court today. >> i think that that's a really interesting question about his attitude towards women. we heard a little bit earlier that he was in favor of penal suffrage than a lot of other people. i think his attitude about women was somewhat ambiguous. as governor of new yo

the relationship between fdr and charles evans hulghes. can you speak to it? >> hughes swore in fdr on several occasions. so there was an amity between them. but the various tensions over the relation between the court and president at that point in time, it didn't really lead to a very amicable friendship between the two men. and also, hughes himself was somewhat reserved in terms of social life, within d.c. he and his wife only would entertain, or agree to attend dinner parties on saturday night because he felt that it would cont contravene his judicial practice if he went out any other time. so he wasn't as much as a figure in the washington social scene as one might imagine. >> the only thing i would add, too, he wasn't really from the same aristocratic roots as roosevelt. his upbringing was exceptional from an education standpoint. i think both his parents were really remarkable individuals, but i don't think it was a youth of great luxury, and great wealth. i think most of the wealth he accomplished over his career, was really through his own law practic

. >> we'll talk about charles evans hughes, the man. we heard from the outset that he looked and sounded like god. would you add a little more color? how tall was he? >> he was 5'11". interesting enough, he was very slight as a young man. very thin. as an adult, as a young man he weighed 127 pounds, and the guy who cleaned up the insurance agency, they would not write an insurance policy for him. they gave him the physicals and say, we can't find anything wrong with him, but he's just too thin. we won't give him a life insurance policy. he lived to be about 85 and was very vigorous, very active. ultimately he reached an adult weight of about 173 pounds, which he would measure very carefully. he would do this in an interesting way. at breakfast he would have a pile of toast in front of him, and he was putting on too much weight, he would remove a slice of toast. and if he didn't weigh enough, he would put another slice on. but this fellow who was supposedly so slight and not vigorous was a great mountain climber. when he is solicited by

who evan kenny beat pair and square. joining us now for the interview is evan kenny.upporter. it's great to meet you. >> it's an honor to be here. >> you wrote an excellent e-mail when we first covered this little scandal. i'm grateful to you for reaching out. how did it feel when you won, when you beat out some of these really bold-faced named republican in your state at that caucus? >> let me say first of all that charlie baker the speech that you just showed when i said that i'm an 18-year-old newcomer to the party the first hands to clap belonged to baker. charlie baker and luke noble were very excited to see this enthusiasm in the party. they did try to send charlie baker to the convention but he said no, absolutely not, i lost. >> even though they're trying to give him your spot, he's saying this is not fair. >> he's saying no. >> what was your reaction to being given that legal affidavit saying that you would vote for mitt romney under the pain of perjury? >> my reaction was okay, i didn't know the rules. i didn't know the affidavit had never been done before.

what are the answers to those questions, evan? >> so far, both campaigns are disgraceful, because neither campaign is talking about the real issues. we are not going to create more jobs or make the economy better unless we deal with the one great overarching issue, this debt overhang. we lived beyond our means for a long time. neither campaign is going to admit that. until they do, all of this is meaningless. >> how do we answer those questions, mark? >> evan is 100% right about 50% of the time. [laughter] he is about 75% right here. i don't think the debt it is the end. it is an important and a defining issue of this campaign, but their cost of the -- you put your finger on it in the opening. there has to be a sense of where we are, where we are going, which neither campaign has provided. without the optimism, without the confidence that have been the hallmarks of american progress and the american character, nothing will be done. that won't be done until each of them, or at least one of them, addresses the people candidly as gro

and as evan wrote about the wisemen.llingness to project power and stand guard over a really complicated dark world. >> and by the way, in the mid '70s, even the band chicago had a song america's calling harry truman, because harry, you'd know what to do. >> are you two going to sing gether? >> i think that would be nice. >> we will have a whole show on songs. >> let's talk about the presidency though in the modern era starting with jfk. jfk, of course, assassinated and that is how he leaves office and lbj is a completely distraught, broken man, who i am still haunted by the scene that doris paints as he is there begging this young woman to just coll work with him, and nixon of course leaves broken, and after that ford leaves bken and choked up, and the morning after his wife has to speak for him, and jimmy carter leaves broken and ronald reagan and i mean, every single president, george h.w. bush -- they all leave broken. >> well, i mean, look at yrnlob he is not broken, but his hair is visibly graying. >> he is not bro
