lowing telegram

Accept my hearty congratulations,
(SignedO GEORGE GRAZ
Judge Gray declined to make any
comment upon the action Of the COW
vention, but it was evident that It was
no personal disappointment to him.
While the judge has been advocated
for the presidential nomination 10y his
friends here and elsewhere for the past
six months. nc had no part in this work
and all that was done in his behalf was
without his sanction. There is no
doubt. however, that If the convention
had nominated him for the presidency
he would not have declined the honor
In an interview with Judge Gray it
was learned that while repeated ef-
forts have been made to induce him to
accept the nomination FOR the vice
presidency, these efforts have been un-
awaiting.
He said that he had not changed hln
mind in regard to the matter, and that
he would under no circumstances ac-
cept the nomination even should il be
rendered him by reclamation.

the bills failed of passage at the regu~
lar session. Under the law. which
makes the offense charged in the in
dictments a misdemeanor, only pris-
on sentence may be imposed upon
conviction.
II is not unlikely that in event of
che or more convictions on the indict-
ments, at least one case Will be carried
to the highest court on appeal for the
purpose Of testing the constitutionality
of the law. If this is done, the chief
contention of counsel for the reSpon-
dent is expected to be based on the
severity of the penalty provided.
They win take the ground that the
punishment is so excessive as 10
stamp the whole law as contrary TO
the Constitution.
That news of the indictments be-
came known before they We're report
ed to the court, became apparent
when II was found that every one of
the 20 men named by the grand jury
was present In court when the jury 3
report was made. They were ae-
companied by counsel and all express
ed desire to enter pleas to the IN
dictments at once. Pleas of not
guilty were accepted and Judge Dixie
paroled all the men I'm the custody or
their counsel until later in the day,
when they will be called on to furn-
ish bail in the sum of $500 each
