W Uy Stair Representatives'; of thcUnlted rress. It to the Wilmington, Del., Juno 22. Tho .principal reason why the Democracy lot Delaware has presented the namo Of George Gray for the Democratic presidential nominations that It be lieves he has bean "right" on nil' over ca-i the burning questions of the day c )I1C )lnco the beginning of his pub rxcer, , Tho contention Is 'made, too, that the Is "right" as to ago, robust phys ical health, and tralnlngand haB all "those endowments of mirfll of educa tion, of experience and of- hrumart .sympathy that should bo possessed lfcy the man who aspires to become tho. head of tho nation. Judge Gray .'Is a slX'footor, deep and broad of chest, straight of stature, and has kindly brown eyeB. Ho loves chil dren and children love him. Every forenoon, when he starts from homo,' for the courthouse ho in accompauiea by 'half a dozen of the neighboring youngster's who think he is Juty tho Jolllest friend on earth. When ho emerges from tho courthouso In tho afternoon the boys and girls aro, waiting to escort him home. Gray is no mollycoddle, even If ho la a Judge. Ho has never killed 'wolves or broken broncos, but ho can run n steamboat or a locomotive and, If It were necessary, ho could construct either. His father, Andrew G. Gray, was tho leading railroad and canal promoter 'of the state years ago, and, in his youth, George sained an intimate knowlodgo of ' boats and engines. "Thus it happen ed," relates one of his biographers, "that those among whom ho was born and bred, wore accustomed to i sco him oiter In tho cab of an engine with his hand on the throttle, or In r tho stern of a boat grasping tho til- ' Jer, whllo his keen glance watched the rail or swept the rlver." Long before somo of the men who have gained reputations as octopus chasers ever thought of pursuing tho ; rascally creature to Its lair, Gcorgo ) Gray had followed' tho trail, had ' bagged tho game, and had brought homo its pelt in triumph. Tho oc topus was the Daltimore and Ohio Railroad, and, according to tho men who soy they know, It was tho first tlme In tho hl'tory of n stnte that a corporation was indicted. Not onlv "was tho B. & 0. indicted through Gray's cffort3v but It was fined as well. The charge wni obstructing tho public highway In tho outskirts of Wilmington. He accomplished this whllo ho was attorney general of tho states, and lie filled tho job bo successfully that "bo was given another term. Doforo 'his second term was completed ho was elected to tho United States son Ate to succeed Bayard and remained Jn tho senate 14 years. Slnoa that time his activities have been almost as well known aB those of Pres'dent Roosevelt. Ho has been of great assistance to more thnn one Pres ident and has helped him to shin? In the office. He was n member of tho High Joint commission and of tho Spanish Peace Commission in 1898; was appointed U. S. circuit Jugo tho following year; nnd In 1902 and 1003 served as mombor and as chalrmnn of tho Anthracite Cool Striko Commission, which settled tho mining troubles In Pennsylvania and 7Ht a lnrgo feather In President Roosevplt's cap. After serving on the Anthracite Commission, Judge Gray was rnado chairman of tho Ala bama Coal Striko Commission, and In that capacity acquitted himself with equal distinction. It was Senator Gray's splendid flght aglnst the "force bill" in 1892 that established his fame as an or ator and statesman. The three-day apeech ho mado against tho measure fs conceded to have given It the knockout drops that put it to sleep forever. Before Gray started his speech It was ndmltted by even Its bitterest opponents that tho bill WQ!Ud-nas8 and tho Republican sena tors Tvore gathering In the chamber ftfor tho final vote that would malto ikrO South a vassal of the North.. u After the F,o'rce Bill 'was killed, fihe whole "South- rang with prnlseB jfof, Gray,' nnd the hope was expressed (that the day would ctmo when tho Jteratofral people south f' Mason and plxon's line might' s.how thtyr ap Lprcciation of his services In some Substantial manner. Now, Judge (Gray's friends say, that golden pp. portunlty has come. p During his 14 years In the senate, uGray.took n leading part In nil tho ywiecmBiuna oi iiiipuriuiii puuiiG questions, and from the start to the Mulsh of his service there he never nation, but to .transfer pocket bf another? "Tho poison of the system of tar iff protection has got Into the very blood of tho American people "It is not right nnd you cannot defend it upon any ground of fair ness and justice between man and man." Hero are a few more Gray thought on vital "pfeblerrls: t v Tho trusts "By tho provisions pf our monstrous tariff tho government has becomo a partner In these com bines.' It stands guard while tho Individual members of the partner ship work their designs and carry out their purposes." Labor union's "Unless,, my judg ment Is at fault and my faith un founded, labor unions will Boon have passed through their period of trlul nnd tribulation, and will emerge on a bright and sunlit plnln, whore true American character, tho fruit of tho American Individual liberty that had Its birth on tho day we col obrato, will lllnistrato tho worth of our Institutions, and mnke perpet- ,ual for us and our posterity Che blessings of civil and religious lib erty." Centralization "I cannot sympa thize with those whose constant en deavor seems to bo not only to min imize the rights of the state's, but to obscruco their true relation to tho federal government. "No ono now doubts that this un ion of ours Is an Indissoluble union" and no more should there bo doubt that it is a union of indestructible stntcts. "Liberty without law Is anarchy, but law without liberty Is despo tism, i "I see no necessity to cxpnnd tho powers of tho contrnl government. They nro largo enough." Judge Gray makes no bones of saying that he Is opposed to tho re tention of tho Philippines and is anxious to givo tho Glanders tholr independence ns soon ns they can manage themselves. Ho is for tho fullest measuro of rollgioiiB liberty; stands for a frco press, the exclusion of tho Chinese, and reciprocity Tfb tween the United States and tho powers of iho world; and Is againBt chip rubMdles nnd nl other kinds -' "ubsldles, flr-rt, last, and all tho timo.

Tho Inter state Commerce Commission may be embarrassed considerably In tho near future with a large, active, stronu oiiB and loud whlto elephant, unless its officials can figure out some way In which to sidestep the burden, At the last session congress dele gated to tho commission tho task of regulating tho street enr lines of the national capital. Washington lans brought a lot of pressure on the legislators for a universal trnnsfer system for the city, and demanded a Bweoping Improvement in conditions. Congress wbb simply besieged with petitions. And tho -legislators hadn't timo to dolve deep fhto tho matter, being so busy 'concocting gag rules and listening td roll calls. Therefore tho matter was shelved on to the In terstate commcrco commission which Is now experiencing tho same Influx of petitions. Citizens residing In Brlghtwood, n suburb In the northern part of the city, recently enmo forward with a vociferous howl for through car service. At the present time thoy must transfer at tho city limits to another car. They demand that tho Brlghtwood ,Car company give thorn through car service to downtown points, Tho Brlghtwood Car com pany declares this Is Impossible, and asserts they would lose money. The Brlghtwood suburbanites carno out with another petition, asserting tho car company was subverting the truth, or words to that effect. Tho interstate commerce commission dut ifully forwarded this defl to tho company. Now tho Brlghtwood car people como forth with' nn nstonlBhing ul timatum. In brief, thoy declare that if tho commission wants to ncccd to tho cltlzo ' demands and run through cars, they can Just tako the old Brlghtwood lino themselves and run It nnd see how It wo(rks. Tho officials wash their hands of tho af fair. Either that, or they Bwcar they'll go Into voluntary bankruptcy nnd stop tho line altogether. With tho Brlghtwoodltes breath ing diro threats and demanding tholr through cars on ono hand, nnd n car company that professes to bo en tirely satisfied to hand over tho whole shobang, tho interstato com merce commission Is considerably worried. In this era of enmpaign times, management of a street car lino by a branch of tho federal government would never do it would mnke too good material for William Jennlngd In a heart to heart talk about gov. arnmentnl ownership. Verily, tho commission is up against It. Something Doing Every fc J U Li 4 At SALEM CELEBRATE ...WITH US... HI celebraie i Thinks It Saved Ills Life. Lester M. Nelson, of Naples.
