SEW YORK. Sept. I. Mayor Gaynor
1..ue1 tonteht. for the first time, a for
r.al statement, sayln? lie is not a cand
tfldat for the lemocratlc nomination
,f-r liovernor.
Nowhere in the nutrmp.it does the
5livor ?iv. however. what course he
will pursue in t'.ie event that nomina
tion Is thrust upon him. lie indicate
thai he prefers to serve his full terra
S3 Mayor, but at the same time he em
phasizes that he feels no moral obliga
tion to do so.
The statement. In the form of a let
ter to John A. Ilj. chairman of the
stat committee, in part follows:
"I have further considered the mat
ter, as tou requested when you called
on me here with Mr. Muck last Wednes
day. but can only reiterate to you that
1 am not a candidate for nomination
for Governor. This must have been
-well known all alonir. for I have wr?t
ten it to many people in the last six
jnonths.
Compact to Serve Term Ienleil.
am not Influenced In my course by
assertions made here and there that I
mad an agreement or compact In the
Mayoralty campaign to serve out the
four years If circled. These false as
sertion are made by persons who op
posed me and voted against me. and
-would do so aatn. I made no such
(i.-rrpmrnt, . . . and If I had made
a pledge, that could not prevent the
voters from electing me to some other
office. . . .
"There are some large things which a
Governor could readily do for the City
of New York, by oversight and legHi
mate Interference, which the Mayor of
that city cannot do without much time
and difficulty, if at all. . . . but
nevertheless my wish to remain Mayor
I such that 1 do not care to become a
candidate fr nomination for Governor.
Miv I add that, as a matter of fact, the
office of .Mayor of the City of Xcw
York, considering the power and con
stant occasion for the exercise of the
highest functions of free government
lodged in It. is second to no office In
this country save one.
Future Not Considered.
".Many tell me and write me that in
taking this course 1 give up my future.
Kut 1 shall not take myself or my fu
ture into consideration. None of us has
a future, but only the present. And If
thought 1 had a future I should he
content to entrust It to he people of Tie
City of New York.
"I trust that the convention will nom
inate one who is not a mere dealer In
the political commonplaces and jingles
of the last 15 or 30 years, but who has
kept pace and growth with the times
and whose absorbing purpose will be to
make the government of the state. In
all Its branches, general and local. In
telligent, honest and decent, and to lift
It up and make it an object lesson to
the whole Nation. If to do this he has
to be more or less meddlesome, we will
all forgive his meddlesomeness if kept
fairly within the law."

ROCHESTER. N. Y.. Sept. K.-The op
ponents of .Mayor traynor devoted today
jind tonight to preparation for the strug
gle acalnst his selection for the head of
the Democratic state ticket, which now
seems llk-ly to he the distinguishing
I.ature of the two days remaining be
fore the convention.
Tlie extent of this opposition is dim
cult to define. Friends of James S.
M.er.s declare that It covers the west
ern half of the stale and som assert
tliat there is no demand for the Alavor's
nomination outside of New York City.
.At present the Havens men head the
anti-'jaynor forces and hope to enlist
the aid of other candidates on tjle ground
that th.. elimination of Gaynor is the tirst
requisite toward insuring the. success of
anybody else, no matter from what sec
tion of the state he hails.
The opponents of liaynor. It Is said, will
urge upon Charles F. Murphy, the Tam

will be u.uig.Tou to depend too far upon
the popular sentiment in Uuynorn favor,
engendered, hy his altemtped assassina
tion; that bnt for this sympathy Judge
;.iynor would not have his present lead
for the nomination, and that it Is not
strong enough to weather tfie strain of a

T!:e Havens men admit that they have
no assurance of the support of William
C. Hearst If their candidate receives the
nomination, but they call attention to the
rut that the New York editor supported
Mr. Havens when he ran for Congress
and hope that this course Indicates that
Mr. li.-arst has forgotten that Havens

that the more business a line gets the
higher rates It should be permitted to
exart. Also Lane is convinced that the

duly sensitive in getting up a scare be
cause of the comments he made at Chi

New Nationalism Taken From Demo

PUEBLO. Colo., Sept. 16. Declaring
that the Democratic party welcomes re
cruits and supporters of its policies, but
holding that tne veterans should receive
full credit for their successful enactment
into law, William J. Brnn this after
noon, at a mass meetlna; at the Grand
Opera-House. defended Democratic doc
trines' and criticised Theodore Roosevelt
as being inconsistent in his political
record.
"The Democratic party has preached
this doctrine of 'New Nationalism' for 14
years and in l'.WO incorporated It in its
platform, quite In contrast to the di;
tinguished gentleman who appears to
have Just made the discovery that this
doctrine is correct and progressive and
just," said Mr. Bryan.
"In his- expressions regarding railroad

billions. Mr. Roosevelt has merely fol
lowed a well-established Democratic lead
For years Democratic platforms have
been clamoring for legislation in this di
rectlon." ,
Mr. Bryan pointed, out that the insur
gents In the Republican party now favor
election of I mted States Senators by
direct vote of the people and that that
was a cardinal Democratic tenet.
Concerning the tariff, Mr. Bryan said:
"To avert calamity, the party has taken
urj or rather Mr. Roosevelt and the In
surgents have taken up the theory of a
tariff commission and a revision by
piecemeal. This is merely a subterfuge
to carry the question over to next elec
