usual tactics and Gaynor, who had care

his threat. The boas and several of his
lieutenants went to Sins Sing. It was
in this campaign that McKane made his

During his service on the bench Gay

of his decisions. The action of the po
lice In breaking into suspected poolrooms
without warrants has been vigorously de
nounced, and the old English rule that
"every man's house Is his castle" has
been upheld. From his attitude in
many cases Gaynor has gained the name
of "the poor man's Judge" and is a
mighty popular individual. In Novem

BT I.I-OYD F. tOTCERGAX.
NEW YORK. Feb. 7. (Special.) For
ntl-Tammany nominee for Mayor of
Greater New Tork. William J. Gaynor.
That is the way things are beginning to
shape themselves here. And recent de
' velopments Indicate that the learned Jus
' tlce of the Appellate Division of the Su
i preme Court Is the man who will be asked
I to lead the attack on the present ruiers of
' the city.
Judge Gaynor is easily the biggest Dem
. ocrat in New Tork State today. He has
been asked on numerous occasions to run
for Governor. Bryan wanted him for his
i running mate last Fall, but every time
; the Jurist ha declined to allow his name
' to be considered.
But Gaynor is on the warpath now. and
his friends declare he will willingly re
sign his place on the bench to take up
the tack of reforming the city govern
ment Gaynor on Mayoralty Qualifications
In a speech at New Rochelle the other
day. Judge Gaynor outlined tne requisites
a Vnviir who would prop
erly rule a municipality the size of New
York City. Briefly they are as ioira.
"No man has the right to aspire to the
government of a great city who Is not
educated and prepared for It by study and
experience. You could call In a shoe
maker with hte kit of tools to cut your leg
off. Ho would cut It off. to be sure, but
what a Job he would make of it!
"The government of a city is a highly
on nnlltliml machine, not
to be run like a factory or a drygoods
business. Often an honest man. while
Mayor. Is the mere tool of a dishonest
coterie.
"Every little official is filled with the
false notion that the more unequal, un
just or obno-xlous a law is. the more zeal
ously and strictly It should be dug up
and enforced. The contrary and true prop
osition i6 that no law can be enforced
gainst the will of the community, and
the history of all people shows that they
shed obnoxious laws as a snake sheds Its
,kln."
r Law's Delays Scandalons.
Judge Gaynor points out that the law's
delays are scandalous, that through the
cumbersome process of condemnation the
city pave from three to five times what
private ' citizens pay for real estate, and
that the bankruptcy of the city's traction
lines is due in large pert to the neglect
and Inefficiency of the men who rule New
York.
"The government of New York is In
form a despotism," he says. "Now a
despotism is the very best government
if you can only jret the right kind of des
pota man of ability, wisdom and integ
rity and skilled In the science of govern
ment. But how often does that happen?
Do you think the government of the City
of New York was ever so vulgar, base and
corrupt as for a psrt of the time under
the present charter?
"My own Idea is that the Mayor's duty
does not end when he appoints the heads
of departments. I believe that he ought
to go about from one department to an
other, spend a week In one with its head,
if necessary, and then In another, see
that they are ruled properly and honestly,
that everv one there Is at work, and that
no one Is' there simply to draw a salary
and do nothing or next to nothing.
Action Is Demanded.
"We do not elect a Mayor merely for
him to sit down and look emu and Im
portant as though thinking to himself all
the time. 'What a big man am I.' when
a- . m.vU h Is onlv a Dltlful. con
ceited little fellow, with no more phlloso
nhr thon maeter of ceremonies. All of
this Is true to the lives of some Mayors
JIHI l .1 11 ii II n in " ' -
"And neither National or state politics
should have any Influence on voters at a
city election.
This is the platform of William J. Gay
nor. and to the average citizen It sounds
comprehensive, sane and satisfactory.
rr-v.- vin nnt discuss the matter.
'but his friends declare that his name
will be presented for the Mayoralty nom
ination and that he will win hands down.

Club remarked:
