JUDGE GAYNOR
IS NEXT MAYOR
Has Clean Record In State of
New York
HAS HIGH AMBITIONS
S HIGH AMBITIONS
Has Expressed the Desire to Reach
the Presidency of the United
States Through MayoraIty and
State Governorshp.

a New York, November Especial. y
William J. Gaynor, who becomes mayor
of New York, was elected upon the
jurist and his stand for personal lib
erty and liberal Sunday.
Although the Tammany candidate, he
maintained throughout the campaign
that no boss shall dictate to him, and
one of his favorite remarks was that
If there was to be any swallowing be-
tween him and the tiger, he would ulti-
mately be found on the outside.
Gaynor was prominently mentioned
as a democratic vice presidential can
didate last year, and In 1894 he de-
clined the democratic nomination FOR
governor of New York. He had been
a near candidate for mayor of New
York for years, but as he expressed
himself to friends. wanted to be sure
of election-to be elected mayor and
then governor. with a view to becom-
ing some day President of the United
States.
Backed by Tammany in the campaign
just ended, Gaynor was bitterly as
sailed by pulpit and bar, and by Hearst,
who repudiated him after having
agreed to support him. Bannards at
tacks were less personal. His enemies
sought to show that in his capacity as
justice of the supreme court he had
tried to defeat the purpose of anti-bet-
ting legislation in this state, but the
candidate, while denying the charge
briefly, declined to answer at length
what he branded as lies.
Justice Gaynor is now 5S years osd
has a family of eight children. He
first attained prominence In connection
with a taxpayers suit which he
caused to be brought against Hugh
Mclaughlin, one-time democratic Dos:
in Brooklyn. In the course of the sui
he saved the city $1,G00,000. In a sim
liar suit against the Brooklyn Elevated
railways he collected another millior
for the city in back taxes.
In 1898 he was elected to the stat
supreme court, and while member o
the court he broke the power of Johr
Y. McKane, the boss of Coney Island
and sent him to Sing Sing for election
frauds. Mechanics downfall was direct
| ly the result of his defiance of thu
watchers at the polls, appointed b!
Justice Gaynor, coupled with his an
nouncement: '1njunctions don't g.

He supported Bryan in his first cam
paign and Hearst for governor in 1905
His pressing of the charges agains

the right of the police to hold the PFC

moval of General Bingham and brought

Just before the fal lcampaign opened.
