CAREER OF
W. J. YNOR

: NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-William
Jay Gaynor was born in White
stone, Oneida county, New York, in
1851. His early education was re-
ceived at the Whitestown seminary
and in Boston, where he remained,
studying and working in a journal
istic capacity until his twenty-sec-
ond year
In 1873 he moved to Brooklyn,
where he began the study of law, at
the same time being employed on
New York and Brooklyn news
papers. He was admitted to the bar
in 1875, at once going into active
practice.
RAPID RECOGNITION.
Gaynor rapidly gained recogni-
ton as an able lawyer, both as a
practitioner and a theorist, his ar
ticles on legal subjects attracting
much attention. He appeared as
counsel in many important cases,
winning him the respect of bench
and bar.
In 1890 Gaynor was appointed
Judge advocate on the staff of Cen
eral McAlcer, commanding the sec
ond division of the New York ma.
tional guard.
1t was at this time that Gaynor
first gained national prominence.
AS a democrat he used influence to
break the abrupt lines within his
party in New York state, his activ.
ity resulting in the conviction of
John Y. Kane for election frauds.
ELECTED SUPREME JUSTICE.
In 1898, responding to the call of
both the republicans and independ-
ent democrats, Gaynor accepted the
nomination for supreme justice of
the state of New York. He was
elected, stepping from the bar to a
seat on one of the highest tribunals
of the United States.
BY declining the democratic nom
nation for governor also for JUS
tice of the court of appeals. Gaynor
showed his aversion to political life.
Inf 1904 for second time he ig-
nor I the proffered nomination for
governor on the democratic ticket.
Gaynor was one Of the first jur-
lists to take up the gauge against
the favoritism shown to railroads in
adjustment of freight rates.

AN UPRIGHT .ulOGE

On the bench Gaynor stood for a
strict Interpretation of the law.
His decisions bearing upon misuse
of the police power in congested
municipalities as New York city
were among the most important
that he rendered. The fact that
Judge Gaynor issued many iniunc-
lions restraining the police from ar
bitrary interference with law break
ing resorts was held up as repre-
hensible by Gaynors political enc
mics. But the practical result of
compelling the police to proceed
with their blockades under judicial
authority, it is considered by many.

in New York municipal forces.
ELECTED MAYOR.
Previous to entering the mayor
atty campaign in New York last No
