Positive Statement That He
Will Not Accept Second Place
BRYANLOOKS TO NEW YORK
John B. Stanchfeld a Strong Possibility
for the Democratic vice-presidential
Candidate, Now That Judge Gray
Has Flatly Refused.

Wilmington, Del, July 2.--Judgc
George Gray yesterday made public the
following statement.
Il have your telegram saying that it
is stated positively that | will accept
the vice presidential nomination and
asking whether this is true. As have
repeatedly said | would ret consent to
being placed in nomination as candi-
date for the presidency, now say with
equal emphasis that will under no cir
cumstances consent to a nomination for
the vice presidency.
George Gray"
Further than this, Judge Gray declined
TO make any statement for publication.
Denver, Jnly with the positive
refusal OF Judge George Gray OF Della
ware to accept the nomination as Bry-
ans running mate on the Democratic
ticket, it looks now as il second place
will &C to New York. According TO
Norman L. Mack, national committee
man from New York, the solid Nebraska
OtltHdllOH NfluiQ DdNh ANNh 1N'NNs
il agreed upon.
That Judge Gray is out OF the race
for good and for all as a second place
probability was confirmed here yesterday
by Josiah Marvel OF Wilmington, Dell
who had 4essage from the jurist re-
iterating his statement that under no
circumstances would he consider the vice
presidency.
Here is the way Marvel sees the stu
alton: IF there is such demand for
Judge Gray for second place, and he
is such good man, why isn't he good
enough for the presidency"
The Delaware mans boomers for first
place on the ticket are active. They
have covered the Savoy hotel with litho-
graphs of the Judge.
All this Gray booming for first place
seems to be independent of the attitude
of the Judge himself, for he has re-
manned passive and said from time to
time that he was not q presidential
candidate.

troubles NAV tie prevented, In a
measure at least, bv improving the
sanitary conditions OF field and stor.
age cellar and by an Intelligent Sc.
lection Of seed.
Rhyzoctonia, the disease which is
accountable to great extent for
large vines and no potatoes, as we'll
as for much of the potato scab, is
everywhere present In Colorado soils.
Where does 1t come from and how
did 1t start? We dol't know But
We do know that 1t Is a plant and is
subject to natural laws much the
same as higher plants. 1t delights
in heavy, soggy soils. So, when the
grower thinks lie ruined his crop b3
watering at a certain time, he really
made the soil conditions favorable
for the growth of this tiny plant.
Keep the soil open and porous; then,
by deep and frequent cultivation,
and, II possible, plant ON land which
Is naturally we'll underdrained Be
careful not to overwater; do not have
the rows too long; make the irriga-
ting furrows deep and do not let the
level OF water rise 10 the point where
tubers set.
There are many conditions OF po-
tato vines which are locally known
as blight The one which has been
most common during the past season
Is due to the attacks Of fungus
plant known rs Fusarium. This
disease Ia spread 10 new fields by In
fected seed, and 1t may live In the
soil on decaying vegetable matter
where much of this disease Is present
on the seed or In the soil and the
conditions are favorable for its
growth, many Of the young potato
sprouts are killed before they reach
the surface Of the ground: thus we
have a poor stand. Then the plants
may die at any time during the sea-
son and still further reduce the
yield

ELECTRICIAN KILLED
Abbott L. Lowe, Young Engineer
for Power Company.

Abbott L Lowe, aged "a years,
assistant chief engineer for the
Northern Colorado Power company,
was killed at the transformer station
In the north part of this city at
about 8 30 last Friday evening by
having a current Of 23OO volts OF
cleo, ric,ty pass through his body.
Mr.. Abbott. whose home is In
Denver, was In Greeley just for the
day to see about connecting up the
new circuit for Eaton and was work
Ing In tight quarters between one OF
the transformers and the main
switchboard. In some way the cur
rent became short .cilcuited and
created a binding flash and 1t Is
supposed that this SO excited the
young engineer that he caught hold
of one OF the wires with his hands
and thus grounded the current.
J. II. Woodbridge, the young man
in charge of the station regularly,
was the only other man there, and
he was watching the young engineer
anixousiy, knowing full we'll the
chances the latter was taking. Mr..
Wnolridge says Abbott had asked
him to make the connection and he
refused to do so unless the current
.as shut of. Lowe lived just long
enough to ask to be laid ON his back.
The young man Is spoken very
highly Of by his fellow employees
who saw the company will lose an
efficient engineer and a splendid fel-
low. The body was taken to Denver
