from Metuchen, the facts were
brought out that the Metuchen Gas
Light Company buys it's gas from the

that gas can be made and distributed
for less than a dollar a thousand cubic
feet and still pay good dividends to
the stockholders of the gas company.

Wilson Making Gains.
Baltimore, Md, June 26-With nom
nations due to be made tomorrow,
the situation in the democratic ma
tional convention with respect to a
presidential candidate was as complex
and uncertain tonight as at any time
since the delegates began to pour into
Baltimore.
There was much talk of subsid-
ence of the Champ Clark wave, which
reached it's crest last night, but the
speakers campaign managers were
not willing to admit there had been
any wavering in their forces.
At the same time they went to the
hall tonight with the expected purpose
of forcing the issue at the earliest
opportunity. The opposition forces,
hearing of the plan, prepared to block
it. They did not wish the nominations
to be made until tomorrow, hoping
the situation might clear little by
that time. ;,
Adherents of Woodrow Wilson
claimed tonight that their candidate
had made distinct gains during the
day. They asserted, without giving
details. that some of the Clark sen.
timent was turning toward the New
Jersey governor ,and We're in a NOR
hopeful mood than at any time during
the convention period.
Dark horses were being discussed
every where by leaders and delegates
tonight, but there appeared to be
some difficulty in crystallizing ,senti-
mont as to which one of the dark
horses was darkest.
Senator John w. Kern of Indiana,
Mr.. Bryan's choice for temporary
chairman of the convention, and
chairman of the committee drawing
the party platform, still appeared to
hold the lead among the dark horses.
The coalition of the Bryan and Will
son forces in the first fight Of the
convention, however, led to talk of
the Bryan strength ultimately going
