 Trolley Tracks.

Although the actual results were not very serious the breaking of the forward truck on one of the short sin gle truck trolley cars bound for savin Rock in Meadow street, shortly after half-past three yesterday afternoon. came near enough to the death line to raise several shudders. The car, number 250 was proceeding down Meadow street with comparatively small shore bound crowd when just in front of the Adams Express company stables near Prout street, the azle gave way without warning and the car made one desperate leap for infln- ity. It landed at right angles to the tracks and with the forward end of course burrowing into the street,
 Three women who were occupying end seats in the car were thrown out when the car jerked sharply and jumped the track Both were badly bruised and slightly injured and each had very narrow escape from being seriously If not permanently injured, Mrs. John J Dempsey. wife of con tract agent of the Abraham, Strauss company of Brooklyn. was the more severely injured of the two and it was thought at first that le had suf- fered serious injury to her spine as she was unable to walk and had to he carried into the Arlington hotel at the |

GUNN NOW THE MAN Democratic Organization Wants Milford Man to Make
 the Run.
HAS NOT YET ACCEPTED
Friends Say That He Is Free from Corporation Influence and Is
 Widely Known.

From member of the state cen- tral committee who had been very interested in the subject the Journal Cuorier last night learned that George M. Gum Is at present the choice of the democratic organization for gov ernor. Whether MT. Gum will accept the advances made by the party is another question.
 Some time ago various democrats of the state went on record as being in favor of a man who was not heavy stockholder In corporations and who was also man who favored the make up of the national ticket. MT. Gum meets with both these requirements and besides has an extensive acquaint- ance throughout the state, and had been a member of the legislature.
 Judge A. Heaton Robertson of this city would be acceptable to the demo- cratic organization were 1t not for the fact that he Is director of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road. Two men who have been at va rious times during the past few weeks acceptable to the organization are Judge Samuel Bronson of this city and ex-Governor Thomas M Waller of New London, both of whom have de- cllned to run. although both have ex- pressed their belief in the democratic state victory this fall.

Kern. democratic nominee for the vice pres idency, bearing the title My Concep- tion of the Vice Presidency" Mir Kern indorses William J Bryan's dec laratlon in favor of making the vice president a member of the cabinet and says:
 "Vlce presidents in the past have influenced legislation largely, but usu- ally by indirection If the vice presi- dent Is to be simply the presiding of- Aces of the senate with, of course. the opportunity to invite senators into his room and suggest to them the views he may have upon pending legislation, he becomes very close to a mere lob hyist.
 If by the friendship or by the polltl- cal convictions of the president he is put in a position In which he Is able to come out into the open, speak as frankly as his chief speaks, and exert upon legislation openly and avowedly as much influence as any member of tho cabinet may, his office IS raised to dignity which was the original un- derstandlng of the constitution that 1t should possess,
 My conception of the presidency, If 1t be proper to me to express 1t here, is that 1t should remain. as the con- stltutlon declared 1t should be, distinct ly an executive office
 Let the president, tho chief execu- tive of the nation administer and en- force It's laws, whether they appeal to his own personal prejudices or other, wise, but without effort to criticise either the congress of the United States or the courts of the United States
