SING GRAY INTO
THE PRESIDENCY
Woman Admirer Of Judge
Gray Makes Suggestion
to Gray League

Josiah Marvil. one OF the most enthu-
siastic boomers of Judge George Gray
for the presidency. received a letter
from a woman admirer of Judge Gray
this morning suggesting that the dis
tinguished Delawarean be sung into
the presidency. The writer of the COM
munication sent along two verses and
chorus of song which she asks Mr..
Marvil TO have arranged 70 music. Fo-
lowing is the letter:
Dear Sir: You will find enclosed a
few little verses and a refrain, that no
double you might be able to make good
use of at your coming convention. IL
you could get some one to comnose
a catchy tune for these words. Won
might be able to have Gray as the
winning man on the Democratic ticket
am a true Delawarean myself and
although a Republican clean TO the
backbone / would nevertheless like TO
see a Delaware man on one of tn .
tickets. whether it be Republican or
Democrat. 1t would bring out little
State into great prominence and make
people stop an dtake notice who might
otherwise pass by and forget there ever
was such a state. Kindly make use
of these words in the very best way
possible.
There came a delegation from a tiny.
little State,
They called themselves the Peaches
and they came to learn their fate.
They brought the name of their candi-
date, and said they'd come to stay
Until they nominated him, this man OF
theirs named Gray.
Refrain.
We've come to stay, and won't go wav.
We've picked our man, and his name
is Gray.
We are going to nominate him, and
Wen show you that we can,
So quit your tryin' to shout for Bryan,
for Gray is the coming man.
He has proved himself quite worthy in
lots of different ways.
Wherever he goes he always gets a
great amount of praise,
He is firm and true to his party, and
we want to have him win,
So cast your votes for Gray, my boys,
and let us put him in.
Refrain.
We've come TO stay. and we won't go
way
We've picked our man, and his name is
Gray.
We are going to nominate him, and
Wen show you that we can,
SO quit your trying to shout for Bryan.
for Gray is the coming man.
Mr.. Marvil went to Baltimore to-
day to assist the George Gray League
of Maryland in their effort to capture
the Maryland delegates to the Dem
Yer convention.

NELSON DEFEATS
CANS IN q ROUNDS.
COlGGG1 Fighter ais to DGthTOnG
Lightweight Champion,

San Francisco, Sept. 1O.-Battliug
Nelson cIiucbed his claim to the light
weight pGguistic championship by de.
feating Joe Cans for the second time
at Gonna arena. The fight ended in
the twenty-irst round when Cans,
beaten down by a succession OF blows
from his sturdy conQueror, failed to
get upon his feet within the count Of
ten. The veteran CUlOTed fighter was
severely punished, but the champion,
too bore the marks of battle. From
the first clang OF the gong to the last
moment Nelson forced the fighting,
never giving ground and gradually bat
tered down his older and less yigor-
Gus opponent. Cans suCCumbed in the
twenty-hrst round after being un-
mercifully trUunccd. Nelson in this
round rained right and lett blows to
jaw and body and Cans sank to the
floor. Mechanically, the now defeated
fighter watched Referee Eddie Smith
wave his hands, apparently too far
gone to hear him count, Not until
the count of ten was finished did
Cans, ashen pale, face terribly cut
and his eyes CLASSY, attempt to rise.
He realized, however, that it was too
late, and feebly said: 81 have posi-.
lively fought my last battle"
The fight was spectacular and at no
time did it appear that Cans had a
chance to win. Time and again he
would shoot wicked punches to Mel.
sons face and body, but the latter
never for an instant wavered. Failing

gradually weakened, though he often

The principal contention in the $29-
100000 fine case, which was emphasiz-

of the shippers ignorance of the pub

rate, believing it to be the prevailing
and the published rate as was the case
of the Standard Oil company. No
testimony showed that the Standard
Oil company or its agents had any
knowledge that the rate they received

Des Moines, Sept. 10.-The success
Of the standpatters in preventing the
election of Governor Cummins to the
United States senate has caused CON
siderable CONSERVATION among the
ranks of the party leaders who had
hoped for harmony. II admittedly has
divided the ranks of the dominant
party in the state and has caused no
little i'll feeling among the partisans
of Cummins and the standpat leaders.
What the result will be at the primary
and other elections in November is
problematiCal.
What most OF the members Of the
legislature wish to know most, how
ever is whether the members OPP
posed to Governor CumminS will be
able to continue the fight indefinitely.
and keep the deadlock going until 1t
is time for another session to begin,
or whether they will be able to force
an adjournment.
The standpatters give as their rea.
son for scattering their vote that they
do not think a United States senator
should be selected until the people
have had an opportunity to indicate
their choice at a state primary. They
say the state will not suffer by rea-
son of being without a senator for
short time, and that the people will
be better satisfied when they have
had an opportunity to make their own
selection.
The joint ballot for United States
senator resulted in a deadlock The

Cannon's success. Every man feast
ing on privileges and fattening on
government favoritism, is anxious
that he be reelected in this district
and that the Republicans shall carry
congress-"
Mr.. Bryan assaulted Cannon's posi-
ton on the election of senators by
direct vote, his standpatism on the
tariff and his opposition to publicity
for campaign contributions and eX-
penditures.
1t was estimated that 10000 people
listened to Mr.. Bryan here today.
Bryan Tells How He Got Rich.
Mr.. Bryan, in referring to his own
wealth, said: Il was worth $500 when
| was elected to congress the first
time. | served four years and by
economy managed to save between
$4,000 and $4,000. During the period
between the end of my congressional
term and my first nomination for the
presidency, a period of about a year
and four months, | was engaged in
speaking and lecturing and added but
a small sum to my savings.
First Campaign Helped Some.
"After the presidential election of
1896 my earning power as a lecturer
was greatly enhanced My book, The
First Battle brought $4,000. | gave
an amount equal to the profits to the
campaign committee in 1896. My
lectures have been profitable and my
writings have paid me we'll
81 estimate my property at $150,000
al the outside limit and | am willing
to leave it to the public to determine
whether earned that honestly or not"
Mr.. Bryan then criticised Cannons
career, declaring that the speaker be
gan holding office when Bryan was a
year old. He said Cannon had been
drawing the salary for thirty-ive
years that members of congress
thought so inadequate that they re
Gently increased it.
III he tells us how much he is
worth now, we can guess how much
he might have been worth if he had
been free to devote his talents tc
money-making," Mr.. Bryan said.
