it; The crowd was not too large but
the house too small" The men had
charge Of the dance and the ladies of

things to which all did ample justice.
Everyone enjoyed themselves. The
orchestra, from Desdwood, gave splen-
did music aud dancers kept moving
lively the entire time, scarcely giving
the musicians time to breathe, so anx-
ious were they to participate
in tho revelry. While the

wise than II success, for the young folks
in this parish never fail in whatever

Judge Gray
Bryan S Friends
Are N OF Alarmed

WASHINGTON. AprilS14. - Judge
Gray,s boom for the Democratic nom.
ination for president will be formally
launched to-day by; the Delaware State
convention. The selection OF a dele.
CATION pledged to the Delaware jurist
is little more than5a matter Of form
and the proposed action OF the conven.
tion has already had its effect in the
national capital. Gray headquarters
have been established here and Gray
campaign league is already In process
of formation. For the present. the
efforts of the Gray boomers will be con-
fined largely to New York. Pennsyl-
cania and New Jersey. the New Eng
land States and the south.
Supporters OF the Delaware Judge
declare that he will have the support
Of both capital and labor in case he
should secure the nomination. It is
asserted that his adjudication as
chairman of the anthracite s,.ike
commission has made him the firm
friend OF the union miners. and that
other labor organizations also favor
his nomination. Judge Gray's sue
cessful fight against the force bin In
the United States senate is alleged to
have won for him the support of
thousands OF southern Democrats.
From present appearances. Judge
Gray will likely prove a more formid-
able opponent to Bryan than is Gov.
ernor Johnson. 1t is declared by the
anti-Bryanites that the east and
southeast have lacked only a strong
leader. In order to successfully revolt
against the nomination OF Bryan. and
that Judge Gray's entrance into the
political arena will likely herald
/ Democratic uprising that will spread
from Maine to the Gulf. Z. It Is not ex-
pected that It will be possible to ere
ate much Gray sentiment In the
west. .4sls -
Friends OF Bryan are not alarmed
at the candidacy OF Judge Gray and
discount the statements Jof the Della
ware mans supporters. 1t is pointed
out that many of the delegates to the
New York Democratic State conven-
tion today are pledged to Bryan. de-
spite the fact that that State Is the
center OF the opposition to he Nebras-
kan. who has not received the support
OF single influential metropolitan
newspaper. The Bryan men. however.
do not deny the ability nor integrity
of'Judge Gray. They declare that his
name is being used in an attempt to
disrupt the party and that when he
realizes that fact. he will withdraw
from the race and leave Bryan a clear
field.
