'''Charles Evans Hughes''' (1862-1948) was Governor of New York (1907-1910), Associate Justice of the Supreme Court (1910-1916), Republican Presidential candidate (1916), Secretary of State (1921-25), and Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court during the 1930s. He became a leader of the [[Progressive movement]] by calls for reform and by modernizing state government by enhancing the powers of the governor and the experts in its administrative bureaucracy. He served as a [[Republican]] Governor of New York (1907-1910) after defeating leftist newspaper publisher [[William Randolph Hearst]]. Running as a middle-of-the-road Republican, Hughes was narrowly defeated for President by liberal Democrat [[Woodrow Wilson]] in 1916.

As Secretary of State he was successful in shaping world diplomacy, especially through the Washington Naval Conference of 1921. Although he supported the League of Nations when it was under debate in 1919, as Secretary of State he generally ignored it.
