GRAY coNGRATULATEs BRYAN.
But Hasn't Changed His Mind
About the Vice Presidency.

WILMINGTON. Del, July 1O.-Upon be-
ing informed this morning of the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Bryan for President Judge
George Gray Immediately sent the fol-
lowing telegram:
Hon. William j. Bryan, Lincoln, Neb.
Accept my hearty congratulations.
GEORGE GRAY"
Judge Gray declined to make any COM
ment on the action of the convention, but
it was evident that it was no personal
disappointment to him. While the judge
has been advocated for the presiden,la.
nomination by his friends here and else
where for the past six months, he has had
no part in this work, and all that was
done in his behalf was without his sane
ton. There is no doubt, however. that
if the convention had nominated him for
the presidency he would have accepted
the honor.
In an interview with Judge Gray it was
learned that while repeated efforts have
been made to induce him to accept the
nomination for the vice presidency these
effcrts have been unavailing. He said
thai he had not changed his mind in re-
gard to the matter. and that he would
under no circumstances accept the nomi-
nation even should it be rendered him
by reclamation.

himself and his classmates.

Yale and completed his course and was
given a Ph.D. In 1898 he organized the
Yale Battery. but as it did not see service
Broatch entered the marine service and

II have not taken any part or exercised

seconding speeches for Bryan included

the playwright of Missouri; Jerry B.

Senator Gearin of Oregon and John j.
Lynch of Ohio. Most of these speeches
had been scheduled in advance, but owing
to the widespread Bryan sentiment and
the desire of the various states to record
their preference for him, many impromptu
speeches were made. and nearly every
state voiced its approval of his candi-
dacy

1t was after midnight when the nomi-

man of the committee, made the report.
announcing at the outset that it was
presented as the unanimous view of the
committee, the entire membership of
which ranged themselves on the platform
Ranking Gov. Haskell as an evidence of
their united attitude. The enunciation of
party principles was received with close
attention and with frequent demonstra-
lions of assent. The provision concern
ing intunctions was punctuated by ap-
plause and at it's close a ringing cheer
went up from delegates and spectators.
The provisions concerning the trusts rail-
road regulation. income tax and various
other provisions awakened lively appro-
baton. The platform was adopted by
rousine unanimous vote.
For nearly sixty hours the committee
on resolutions as a whole or subcommit-
tees had been in practically continuous
session at work upon the platform and
up to very short time before midnight
when the document was finally presented
to the convention, its members wrestled
with the momentous subjects concerning
which they were charged with the franz
Ing of the official utteranceS Of the party
Whole planks were referred back TO the
subcommittee for redrafting. and even
after what was intended To- be the final
draft was in the hands of the press as
sociations to be telegraphed to the news
papers Of the country from Cape Cod to
the Golden Gate changes of phraseology
were made. sentences were turned about
for more forceful expression. Word by
word and plank by plank the platform
was infinitely scrutin!zed in the effort for
clearness and perfection of expression.
When Chairman Haskell finally took it
under his arm and jumped into an auto
mobile for his flying trip to the waiting
multitude in the convention hall the
document that he bore was the unani-
nous expression OF the committee There
no smallest suggestion of a minority

The Trust Plank
The plank on the trust question was
the last to be adopted by the committee,
and il had been the subject of a long de-
bate. Judge Parker of New York, ex-
Senator Smith of New Jersey and Senator
NewIands of Nevada had been united in
opposition to any expression on the sub
ject. Senator Smith provoked long de-
bate by amendment 10 the tariff
plank suggesting the necessity of recog
nizing the cost of labor in revising the
tariff schedules, but il vas strongly OPP

The Vice Presidency.
1t remains now only to nominate the
candidate for Vice President and the
work of the convention is ended This
nomination will be made this afternoon.
Absorbed with the intense interest of the
night, the delegates had little time to de-
vote to the consideration of the vice presi-
dency. and the final canvass of available
candidates is being hurriedly made this
morning. Most of the delegates were
utterly wearied after the long vigils and
nerve-racking agitations of the night and
it was late today before tie men of action
began to take UP the threads of discussion
over the still rather chaotic vice presi-
Dental situation.
Several of the prospective candidates for
the vice presidency, some of them very
likely candidates were removed from the
canvass yesterday in one way or another.
Most conspicuous of these Withdrawals
was that of David r. Francis of Missouri
of whom there had been much and in
creasing talk in this connection. 1t was
made more emphatic than ever that Judge
Grays name could not be used. even
though it was we'll understood that had
he consented to the use of his name he
would have been perhaps the most likely
of all to receive the nomination The
Massachusetts people made it clear that

resentative Francis Burton Harrison of
New York. whose candidacy has been
one of the most active, announced that
he would be "a candidate only in the event
Of his Endorsement by the New York dele
cation. Inasmuch as New York has
taken the position that it would have no
candidate for either office this seemingly
removes Harrison from the field.
Folk Mentioned.
Those remaining are numerous and in
the early hours of the day it was hard
TO say which was in the lead. Many of
the delegates took but small part in the
mornings discussions of the matter in
the belief that Mr. Bryan's preference
should be consulted. and with some
degree OF expectation that by the time
the afternoon session began a decisive
intimation from that quarter would
be at hand. 1t was from this point of
view that attention focused rather ca
gerly upon an early morning rumor in
favor of the nomination of Gov. JOSEPH,
w. Folk of Missouri. John w.
Kern of Indiana was discussed with
much interest. as also was Clark Howell
of Atlanta. whom the Georgia men were
pushing with keen urgency. Charles A.

GETS PERFECT SCORE
New Rambler Gives Good Account Of
Itself In Eastern Auto Contest

IN the most trying endurance run
ever attempted in the East, over snow
bound roads in such bad condition that
the technical committee hesltated to re-
qulre the ears to travel over them, the
Rambler RGnabout Model 81 A, made
perfect score and the Model "a Tour
ing Car also passed the searching exami-
nation or the committee with clean
score. While on the load needle
valve was loosened on the touring car
by the Jar occasioned by the terrible
roads, nesessitating a two minutes stop
to ADJUST 1t and penalizing the car four
points. One car made a perfect score
the ether had the smallest penalization
of the run.
This record was made in the Bay
state A. i. Endurance run on Washing
ton : Birthday, a 1876 mile trip from
Boston to Providence, to Worcester and
back 10 Boston. Twenty cars, includ-
ing number Of the highest powered,
highest priced American cars, were en-
tered--mOst of them factory cars driven
BY men Of national repute. The two
Ramblers entered were stock demonstra-
ting cars Of the Boston Branch, with no
special preparation Of any kind. Both
we've from Is to 80 minutes ahead of
the schedule at every control Neither
Of the Ranablers were driven by profes-
SIGNALS.
This, in brief, is the story of a run
that demontrates the right Of the So, $50
Rambler to place among the best
American cars. At no time did the
Rambler cars fail to do everything re
CURED OF them, and that IN manner
which won for them the hearty admira-
ton Of the committee,
The makers, Messrs Thos. B. Jeffrey
& Company now feel that the Rambler
is more than ever entitled to be called
the Car Of Steady Service. =
