I.—Justice William Jay Gaynor has been given the Democratic nomination for mayor of Greater New York. « Tammany had its own way at the convention.

The convention nominated for comptroller Robert M. Moore, president of the Commercial Trust company. The platform adopted dealt broadly with national, state and municipal

questions. denouncing the recent tariff legislation and objecting to any interference in local affaire by the state legislature. It arraigned the Republican party and President Taft “for their failure to keep their explicit promise made to the country, that the tariff would be revised downward." The Republican candidate for mayor, Otto T. Rennard, was referred to as "an unknown man, whose nomination was forced upon the Republicans by the Taft family."
