Still HOPEFUL FOR A
PUBLIC LIBRARY here

Notwithstanding the fact of the over
whelming defeat given the free library
project at the recent election held to
decide whether or not free public Ii
brary should be maintained by the in
cOrpOrated school districts of Milford,
with the aid of the State appropriation,
those who are interested in the estab-
lishment of the library, and who believe
that it would be of material benefit to
the entire community, have not given up
hope of its being recOnsldered and es-
tabished when another vote may be
taken on the matter next year.
The 1900 volumes of books, which
were placed in the hands of the Com
mission appointed by the School Board,
by the stockholders of the Milford Ii
brary Association, and which are stored
in the loft of the High School, were
placed in the hands of said authorities
to be given absolutely to the Free Pub
lie Library should one be established,
otherwise the books revert back to the
stockholders of the Milford Library AS
sOciation.
The books are still in the loft. subject
however, to the demand of the said
Association, and ifno disposition is made
of them during the ensuing year, it is
the hope of those interested in the free
public library that when another vote
is taken that there will be a decided
change in the public mind concering the
of the same.
Every question has two sides and is
debatable, therefore, every effort will
be made, to place the matter of the
of the free library before
the people so that they may thoroughly
every phase of the PROPOSE
ton, before it is again reconsidered and

Murphy reserved the right to 20 70 some
other man. The Murphy programme was
to try Underwood in case Clark should not
be nominated, at least on the twelfth bal

That ballot had shown that Bryan's intru-
encc had been thrown against Clark. evil

II was asserted that the Gaynor mana
gers were convinced that Murphy was
favorable to Gaynor and would be WILING
TO support him, in case there was any as
surance that he could get enough sup
port from other parts OF the country 10
secure the nomination. Murphy was con-
WINGED however that II would do no goou
for Gaynor TO be proposed by the New
York delegation. as that would entail the
immediate opposition OF Bryan
we don't want to have this man Bryan
make fools OF US any longer, was the way
one OF the leaders expressed 1t.
Careful inquiries made 20 determine just
how much support Gaynor might get from

All day the Gaynor men have been bank
Ing on the possibility that the deadlock
between Clark and Wilson could be broken
by neither, making 1t absolutely necessary
to find a compromise candidate.
The New York delegation was the centre
OF attraction during the long hours OF pal
lotIng to-day. When Bryan was rubDing
salt into their skins with a wire brush all
ewes were turned toward the New York
standard. They wondered what reply would
be made. Friends of New York In various
parts of the hall Kissed and booed Bryan
az he denounced them. On the other hand,
every time Murphy got up to cast the SOLD
ninety votes there were Kisses and derfsive
laughter from the friends Of Bryan
Because the chairman Of the national
committee, Norman r. Mack, Is a New
Yorker, the New York delegation has pri-
vate conference room, a privilege enjoyed
by no other delegation.
Murphy spent most Of his time during
the sessions to-day in this room at the
back Of the hall. He went to his seat on
the floor only when It was necessary to de-
clare the vote Of the state. This task Mr.
Murphy has been careful never to intrust
to any other man. In the committee room
Murphy conferred with Judge Parker, Will

cabinet and leaders from other states The
door was always doubly guarded to see
that no stranger wandered In.
