RrsY oN GAYN0R ROoM.

THERE no longer is any doubt that William j.
i Gaynor Mayor OF New York is candidate
for the Democratic nomination for President The
Democratic Association Of New York which is headed
by Jacob A. Cantor, formerly Borough President Of
Manhattan. flooding the country with literature in
which it is asserted Mayor Gaynor is the avail
able candidate on the Democratic side In none Of
the literature, however is 1t made clear whether
Charles f. Murphy Tammany leader in New York
has promised TO swing the support of the New York
delegation to tho Mayor Without Murphys aid, May
or Gaynor win not get far in the Presidential fight
Those who supporting his candidacy admit they
are not undertaking to speak for the State Of New
York. as rightfully belonss to the regularly
elected delegates, but Democrats of the city Of New
York without regard TO faction.
They say Mayor Gaynor is sound all the great
problems Of social and industrial nature now be
fore the country and that he is in full sympathy
with the Democratic party the tain In the May
or's behalf also is said he is in favor Of railroad
regulation, and opposed to graft extravaganza. and
civic and electoral corruption. The Mayor also is
represented as being firm believer in the rights Of
the individual guaranteed by the constitution and
opposed to class and sumptuary legislation.
"He is not and never has been Office eseeksr' the
Democratic Association continues hut in Office has
applied himself 10 the work in hand with fidelity and
industry besides applying good practical common
sense 10 his work"
Those who have watched the career of Mayor Gay
nor kept touch with events in the last
four months viii take stock in the asser-
tion he never has sought Office He sought the May
orally although a veneer Of being sought spread
over his candidacy Nor is there anything in the
present campaign publicity his favor TO indicate
that Il merely is the result of spontaneous demand
from the Democracy that he sacrifice himself for the
good of the public The long and short Of It is that
the Mayor desires the nomination and is attempting
10 win A.
