‘SONNY JU' ALSO
NOTIFIED OF 015
NOMINATION
“Fortunate Are We That Our
Opponents Are Divided Into
Two Camps,” He Says.
UTICA. N. Y.. Aug. 21.—Vice Presi
dent Sherman was formally notified at
noon today that for the second time
the Republican party had selected him
as its candidate for the vice presidency.
The notification exercises were held in
Roscoe Conkling park, located on the
southern outskirts of the city, and a
crowd numbering many thousands of
persons gathered on the expansive
green to witness the ceremony.
United States Senator George Suth
erland, of Utah, headed the notifica
tion committee and delivered the ad
dress that informed the vice president
of his selection.
The celebration incident to the notifi
cation of Mr. Sherman is the most elab
z orate affair ever staged in Utica, and
cost many thousands of dollars, sub
scribed by local citizens. Aside from
the fact that the notification ceremony
itself is a Republican function there is
nothing in the huge celebration of a
partisan nature. The festivities start
ed last night with an elaborate carnival
parade, participated in by organiza
tions from Syracuse. Oneida, Canastota,
Rome and many local non-political so
cieties. Today three companies of the
First infantry. N. G. N. Y.. the Albany
Unconditionals, led by Republican State
Chairman Barnes; the Syracuse Escort
club, and the Conkling Unconditionals,
of Utica, comprised the column of es
cort for \ ice President Sherman and
the notification eomlttce.
Stands on Platform.
Vice President Sherman received the
committee graciously, and when Sena
tor Sutherland had concluded his speech
the vice president replied, in part as
follows:
"As a loyal Republican, a discipline ol
the party of Lincoln and Grant, of Har
rison and" McKinley, and of whom for
whom tin ground upon which we stand,
dedicated to public rise, is named, Ros
coe Conkling. I stand squarely upon
the party platform.
"Fortunate are we Republicans in the
fact that our opponents are divided into
two camps, rivalling each other in their
efforts to excel in disturbing the civic
and economic order of the country.
"The Democratic rallying cry has al-
ways been ‘a tariff for revenue only,'
ami the bitterest assaults on the policy
of protection to American industry T i
year sees no innovation. The Demo
cratic candidate. Dr. Wilson, is Bryan
and Parker over again, without the
oratory of the one or the legal training
of the other, but with the free trade
principles of both seemingly intensified.
"For the first time in the memory of
my oldest hearer, the country witnessed
convention held in Chicago iwn weeks j
since, in which there was no roll call of
> delegates, no ballot- cast: when red
bandannas were preferred to the stars
and stripes; when the scene was scar
let over much, like the flag of anarchy,
not red, white and blue, the symbol of
patriotism.
Tariff Has Closed No Factories.
"Both of the opposing parties assault
with equal vehemence the present tar
iff. under which out country has so
markedly prospered. They abuse the
Payne-Aldrich law without stint and
without reason. The tariff act has closed
■ no factory, has put out the fires in no
furnace, has thrown no mechanics or
laborers out of employment. It has
opened no free soup Houses for starving
families, deprived of the wage of the
bread earner; it lias form'd no bread
line of jaded, disheartened seekers for
employment.
“Nearly ten millions of depositors in
the savings banks had last year laid
'away over four thousand millions of
dollars, while every branch of moral,
social and educational betterment has
received vita! impulse and generous
support. Wherein can the thoughtful
citizen see promise of a betterment in
the frantic cry for a change?’”
following the exercises. Vice Presi
dent Sherman entertained the members
of the notification committee at his res
idence, and later they were his guests
at a State league baseball game and
vaudeville show at Utica athletic field.
Tonight the city will be elaborately
illuminated, and the celebration will
conclude wjth the discharge of eight
tons of fireworks.
Taft Wires His
Congratulations
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—President
Taft today sent the following telegram
to Vice President Sherman at Utica:
"I am very sorry that the public
business pievents my presence at the
ceremonies at which you are to receive
your formal notification of your second
well-deserved nomination by the Re
publican party for the office which you
hold. I congratulate you and the party
on your nomination.
"The Republican party continues to
be the party of the constitution, and to
guarantee the people civil liberty, pri
vate property and pursuit of happiness
and other civil rights, the upholder of
law and older, the opponent of social
ism. the sturdy supporter of high com
pensation for wage earners and our in
dustrial success through a protective
tariff. I am proud again to be a Joint
■ nandaid bearer with you for that par- j
ty of cons'realism, sanity and prog
ress. (Signed I

Federal Court Forbids Placing
of Roosevelt Men on Re
publican Ticket.
TOPEKA, KANS., Aug, 21.—The
tangle over the Roosevelt electors and
the status of the Republican party in
Kansas was made more confusing to
day when copies of a restraining or
der, granted by Federal Judge Smith
McPherson at Red Oaks. la., were
served on state officials denying them
the right to put the Roosevelt electors
on the Republican ticket. The papers
weie served on Governor Stubbs. Sec
retary of State • Sessions, Treasurer
Dudley and Auditor Davis.
The injunction was secured by W. D.
Bemuth and others who signed the pe
tition of the Roosevelt electors. They
assert that they believed the electors
would be bound by the action of the
Chicago convention and if they were
not many Republicans in the state
would virtually be disfranchised.
B. T. ADAMS’ AUTO KILLS
CHAS. BURGE AT MACON
MACON. GA.. ‘Aug. 21.—A score of
persons witnessed the tragic death last
night of Charles Burge, a master plum
ber and a well known Macon man, who
was knocked down and killed by the
automobile of B. T. Adams. The acci
dent took place in Main street, a short
distance from the Burge home.
Mr. Burge was crossing the street on
his way home from his office. Dodging
a horse and buggy, he stepped directly
into the path of the machine and re
ceived such injuries that his death re
sulted almost instantly.
No blame was attached to Mr. Adams
by the coroner's Inquest.
'TAFT NOT FOR CIRCUS
METHODS IN RACE FOR
OFFICEOF PRESIDENT’
By CHARLES D HILLES.
Chairman jf the Republican National
Committee.
NEW YORK. Aug. 21.—"1f President
Taft has made such a remarkable rec
ord of measures advocated and laws
enacted during his
administra t i o n.
1

IH
why is it that the
facts are not bet- i
ter known, that
his administration
has not been more
popular with the
masses of the peo
ple ?
This question
has been address
ed to me many
times since I un
dertook to make
known Mr. Taft’s
record through the
columns of Tin
Atlanta Georgian.
The answer is
simple; President
Taft is a states-*
man rather than a politician. He
is not an advertiser. He is not ac
customed to "blowing his own horn."
As one of his admirers has well put
it, "He does not advertise."
Imagine the case of a big retail busi
ness run by young, enterprising men,
not always scrupulous about making
good their promises, rarely hesitating to
exaggerate somewhat in their advertis
ing matter, and imagine that business
passing into the hands of a new owner,
a man of scrupulous honor, determined
to give every customer one hundred
cents’ worth for every dollar expended,
unwilling ever to promise more than he
could perform or to guarantee any
thing he did not know to be as reported,
but a man who did not believe in ad
vertising.
Can you imagine how his
fall away until there remained only
those discerning customers who keenly
appreciated when they secured full
value for their money? This has been
about the position of President Taft,
except that he has not been head of a
big retail business, but president of the
I’nited States.
Not a Publicity President.
Mt. Taft has not believed it proper or
dignified for the president of the United
State-, to adopt the methods of the
shrewd advertiser or the ingenious
press agent
And In this policy he has followed the
example of the greatest presidents of
tlie I’nited States, indeed of almost all
of them Rut when he entered upon
tie responsible duties of president the
pc ple had become accustomed to a dif
ferent policy.

IGE-RAMNIED SHIP
SAVED BT CAUTION
Captain of Liner Which Struck
Berg Rewarded by Passen
gers for Seamanship.
LIVERPOOL, Aug. 21—The Allan
liner Corsican, which rammed an ice
berg off the coast of Newfoundland oti
August 12. arrived in port today. The
passengers were loud in their praise
of the seamanship of Captain Cook,
commander of the vessel, and present
ed him with a gold watch and an em
bossed address.
Captain Cook said that when the
vessel struck the berg the weatheV was
hazy. On account of the fog the ship
was going very slowly. The lookout
sighted the berg and gave the alarm.
' Full steam astern was ordered but de
spite the reverse of the engines the
momentum carried the vessel upon the
ice. The steam head was stove in ten
feet, but as the hole was above the wa
ter line Captain Cook decided to con
tinue the voyage.
When the steamer crashed the pas
sengers became excited, as the memory
of the Titanic tragedy came back to
them. Officers went among the five
hundred passengers assuring them that
there was no danger.
After a time the fears of the pas
sengers died out and with the bow
temporarily patched the voyage was
i continued.
In the meantime word of the col
lision had been flashed by wireless and
answered by other ships within range,
'which helped to calm those on board.
Democrats Open
Chicago Headquarters
> CHICAGO. Aug. 21.—Democratic na
tional headquarters in the West were
established in Chicago today, Joseph
E. Davies, national committeeman from
Wisconsin, having arrived last night tr>
take up the task of conducting the
Western campaign for Wilson. For the
present until definite arrangements are
made, the state headquarters at the
Sherman will be used as a base of op
erations.
Congressman James T. Lloyd joined
Davies today. Lloyd is chairman of
the Democratic congressional commit
tee. The congressional fight will be
conducted from Chicago.
William G. McAdoo, acting chairman
of the national committee, was expected
from Indianapolis to help in the final
arrangements.
Cleveland, or Lincoln and Washington,
thfe people forgot to observe for them
selves or were misled by the enemies of
President Taft. Because Mr. Taft was
not constantly proclaiming his own
merits from the housetops, many were
deceived into believing that there were
no achievements of which to boast.
That this is not so. I maintain every
thoughtful observer must realize when
he comes to examine the record of the
Taft administration. And equally I am
convinced that once the people become
accustomed to the more modest, dig
nified conduct of the office of chief ex
ecutive, they will infinitely prefer it to
one characterized by those methods
which suggest the circus, the press
agent and the theatrical performance.
Political Horn Blowing.
But the Taft method makes some de
mand upon the people themselves. It
calls upon them to make their own ob
servations. to weigh the legislation en.
I acted in their behalf, to do their own
thinking. That is as it should be in a
democracy, for after all it is the people
who must Judge and their judgment
should not be prejudiced by a constant
blowing of political horns.
There is, too, another factor which
has played its part in detracting from
the general popularity of the Taft ad
ministration, and that is the persistent
and willful misrepresentation of a man
whose motives, for a time obscure, were
made all too clear by the organization
of the third party in Chicago recently.
Actuated by personal disappointment
because they had not been themselves
retained in or appointed to office, or
because they could not bear to see an
other exercising the power and enjoy
ing the honor of high office, he and his
followers have willfully, deliberately
and persistently misrepresented Presi
dent Taft’s administration, and they
have done so from the vantage point of
Republicans.
Alienated by Vilification.
Had they been avowed Democrats,
their charges would have been disre
garded as the natural criticisms of op
posing partisans. But, being ostensi
bly Republicans, their words command
ed a respect to which they were not en
titled and their purposes were not ob
vious until they made them clear by the
organization of a third party which has
no reason for being other than tq re
store to power those who, for one rea
son or another, had nothing to hope
for from the party to which they had
professed loyalty.
There are many who now appreciate
the animus which all along has
prompted the unfair criticisms of Pres,
ident Taft and who resent the efforts
to mislead them by men who at tieart
sought only the promotion of their own
Interests and their own ambitions. Al
ready there are many signs that the

World. Mourns Salvation Army Founder
GENERAL WM, BOOTH IS DEAD
Monarchs Among the Senders
of Messages of Sympathy
to Family.
LONDON, Aug. 21.—Messages of
sympathy and condolence from all parts
of the world poured in today upon the
bereaved family of General William
Booth, founder of the Salvation Army,
who died last night at 10:13 o'clock. •
Among those who sent telegrams of
condolence were some of crowned heads
of Europe. From mourning friends in
London magnificent floral tributes were
received at the Booth home at Hadley
wood, a suburb.
One of the first messages of sympa
thy received by the Booth family was
one from King George. In it the king
expressed the sorrow of the entire royal
family that a subject of such renown
and usefulness had passed away

one of the great world figures in the
spread of the Christian religion.
Colonel,'Kitching, private secretary to
General Booth, who was present in the
death room, told today how the great
evangelist had died.
“General Booth passed away peace
fully wi.th a stnile upon bis face,” said
Colonel Kitching. “He apparently felt
no pain and all at the bedside were
struck by the beatific expression upon
his face in the last hour of life. The
last person to whom the dying man
spoke was his son, Bramwell Booth.
There was not a dry eye. Those in the
death chamber were Mr. and Mrs.
Bramwell Booth, their daughter, Adju
tant Catherine Booth; their son, Ser
geant Bernard Booth; the general’s
youngest daughter. Commissioner Mrs.
Booth-Helberd: Commissioner How ard,
Dr. Ward Law and myself.”
Successor's Name Secret.
Interest today centered in the iden
tity of the successor to General Booth.
He had already been appointed, but
the founder had taken pains to prevent
his name from becoming public. About
a fortnight ago General Booth held a
long conversation with his solicitor and
placed the name of his successor in a
sealed packet to be opened after his
(General Booth’s) death.
The general belief was that the bur
den of heading this great international
army of religious Workers would fall
upon the shoulders of Bramwell Booth.
Bramwell Booth has been chief of staff
of the army since 1890. He began in a
lowly position in the white chapel bar
racks of the army and worked his way
up.
A movement has been started to have
General Booth’s body buried among
Great Britain's heroes of war and peace
in Westminster Abbey. Supporters of
this movement pointed out that the
founder of the church militant deserved
through his long tenure of usefulness
not only to he remembered by the em
pire. but by the whole world. Members
of the family opposed the idea of in
terring the remains in Westminster
Abbey, saying that it was Genera!
Booth's private wish to lie beside the
body of his wife in Abney Park, Stoke
Newington. Mrs. Booth died 21 years
ago.
Mr. Booth was 83 years old at the
time of his death and for years had
been a commanding figure in the world
of religion. He founded the Salvation
Army in 1878. Twenty years later he
and his son. Ballington Booth, quar
reled and the latter started a rival or
ganization known as the Volunteers of
America
It was announced that the body of
the late evangelist would lie in state in
the army's headquarters in Congress
hall, Clapton, until the funeral.
General Booth’s funeral will take
place probably Thursday or Friday of
next week.

more steadfast and loyal those who
from the first have seen through the
thinly veiled antagonisms and ambi

course.

such unworthy motives can hope to

'BE SURE OF YOUR MAN
IN PICKING PRESIDENT,’
SAYS ALFRED H, LEWIS
By ALFRED LEWIS.
NEW YORK, Aug. 21. —There is work
on hand. The country's president pick
ing this year is to be no child's play—
no trivial matter. Conditions are what
writers on social order and economics
call acute. The next president can do
much toward ameliorating them or
much toward making them worse.
The vulgar arrogance of money is
one of the great causes of commercial
and political disturbance as often as
otherwise. Uhhappiness is commonly
the bitter fruit of comparisons; and
discontent comes as the result of look
ing at the other fellow from the window:,
and then taking a survey of one’s self
in the glass.
Some notion of what I'm driving at
can be gathered from any morning’s
perusal of the daily papers. The other
day it was published that Mr. Rocke
feller's income is $52,000,000 a year.
This Is more than the aggregate income
of all thp sovereigns of Europe, includ
ing King George. These Rockefeller
riches grew out of an investment of
nothing in 45 years. How ? Rebate—
"protection." Mr. Rockefeller began as
a rebater, to become later an infant in
dustry. Alsof as an infant industry,
he was careful not to grow up.
Do you realize what $52,000,000
means? Were it all in gold it would,
upon the principle of a ton to a team,
call for 104 spans of horses to take Mr.
Rockefeller his yearly income, and
make a close-locked procession nearly
a mile long. The average oil wage to
the laborer is under an annual SSOO.
No Reason For Inequality.
There’s no reason, moral, physical,
social, political, commercial, why this
yawning inequality should exist. It's
in the face of natural law, and, there
fore, in the face of justice. The oil
worker, with his less than SSOO a year,
knows these things, feels these things
and they help him to a hatred of our
institutions, urge him into Socialism.
Were I business manager of the na f
tion I would issue a bulletin to voters
giving the following directions: Don’t ,
look at the platform; look at the MAN. |
For. after all. in politics the MAN is J
the big issue.
How often must you be reminded
that In 1892 you elected a president on
a tariff platform who called an extra
session on finance; how often that in
1896 you elected a president on a
finance platform who called an extra
session on tariff? So much for the
platform, so much for the overshad
owing importance of the MAN. Stick
to the MAN. I.ook him over with care.
There are men whom power spoils,
and who can not be made great with
out being made dangerous. Mr. Taft,
of the latter, is an eminent example.

Fully to fit a White House one should
have not alone the strength to main
tain a war, but the wisdom to con
clude a peace. The more when you re
member that the too-frequent mark of
the philosopher is that in trying to
light a candle he puts out a lamp. Also
books, alcoves, education, erudition and
the right to affix A.M. or LL.D, or Ph.D.
or all three to one's name promise
nothing of importance on the firing
line of affairs. He who has them will
be lucky it they don’t get in his way.
Another Sort to Avoid.
There Is another sort to avoid, the
sort that, although they speak loud,
think low and hardly act at all. These
you may easily know. They talk in
primer, think in nonpareil, act in agate.
Such folk suffer not only soul weak
ness, but a shortness of political sight.
They are the shrinkers, trimmers, haul
ers of horns. In this, too, they play
the fool.
Men should remember that these
declarations of principles which
brought them the election are in all
chance the most likely if concreted into
action to bring them immortality. Not
to know this as a matter of instinct
argues some meagerness of virile fiber.
The natural fighter, the born victory
w inner in short, the Roosevelt, carries
the knowledge of it from birth in the
brain that lies back of his ears.
Os no strong hates, no strong loves/
and above and beyond all else no strong
gratitudes, you would imperil your own
safety should you think of one of them
for your White House. Neither does
it follow that because a man is no
Damocles to betray he's a Damon to be
true. Indeed, the common run of souls
are neither false nor faithful.
The master-threat of the hour is the
ignorance of the rich Our next pres
ident must be strong enough to check
if he doesn’t illuminate it. Who will
best serve—Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Taft or
Mr. Wilson? In answering the ques
tion. past performances should count,
i No American likes to take a chance
I when it comes to his White House. As
to Mr. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt, all is
plain sailing—the wind is aft. the open
ocean dead ahead. His seven presi
dential years proved the courageous
White House worth of Mr. Roosevelt.
Mr. Taft, tn his presidential three
years plus has shown conclusively his
timid, White House worthlessness.
Mr. Wilson? He is wholly without a
White House past, which makes his
case more difficult. Presidentially con
sidered. he's a pig in a poke

IDEAL MARRYING
AGES 23 TO 26,
SAYS EMT
“Persons Who Wed After They
Are Thirty Are Most Suscept
ible to Affinities.
LONDON. Aug. 21.—What is the best
age at which to marry, and why?
these questions were answered by Dr.
Frederick- L. Hoffman. LL.D., F. S. S„
one of the delegates to the International
Eugenics congress.
Incidentally Dr. Hoffman, who occupied
the position of statistician to the Pruden
tial Insurance Company of Newark, N J
exploded what he described as one of
the most popular fallacies that has ever
prevailed regarding successful marriages.
My experience and observatldn," said
Dr. Hoffman, “have convinced me that
the best ages for marrying are between
23 and 26 for men and women alike. I
have no faith in the theory that there
should be a wide disparity between the
age of the man and the woman
'My reason for fixing on between 23
ami 26 as the ideal marrying age for both
sexes are, roughly, these:
Physically Best Then.
The man and the woman arc then, so
far as marriage is concerned, at their best
physical, mental ami moral development.
I heir hereditary traits now are dominant
On the one hand the twig has been bent
or the temperament has been moulded in
the form II will probably re'ain, with a
little modification, for life.
"On the other hand they are both suf
ficiently plastic and malleable to readjust
■ themselves and become mutually com
plimentary to one another. In other
words, the man is willing to sacrifice
himself io the happiness of the woman,
and the woman to the happiness of the
man. I'his Is oiSB ot the essential condi
tions of real awtriagd Perfect coordina
tion is antvfner.
"A boy or a girl of. say. 16. quite apart
from other considerations, can not be ex
pected to know his or her mind. This
point. I think, requires no elaboration. At
the same time I should like to state with
all possible emphasis that every man of
25 or thereabouts who is earning his liv
ing and wishes to marry should be per
mitted to do so. provided only that he and
his prospective partner are healthy.
His Salary No Object.
"The woman of a man's choice has no
right whatever to demand that he shall
he earning a certain number of dollars
a week before he enters into wedlock with
her. I strongly deprecate these so-called
'marriages of cohveniente.' Moreover,
no restriction should be placed—within
reason, of course—on the number of chil
dren. No marriage is perfect or satisfy
ing It there are no children as its out-
"Men particularly who are over the age
of 30 and wish to marry do so at their
peri!. At this age or over a man is gen
erally so strongly individualized, so set
in his judgments, that to often in court
ing a wife he is only courting disaster
"Again a marriage celebrated after 30
tends to become an affair of friendship
than anything else, and this in ny opin
ion, at least, is by no means all. or any
thing approaching all, that marriage
should signify. Although f confess I have
no facts to bear out my contention on
this point, observation leads me to think
that the sudden appearance on the scene
of ’affinities' of both sexes frequently
follows these ’over-30’ marriages.
"And now let me Just touch on the
question of successful marriages. There
was never a greater fallacy than the
popular belief that a reaally successful
marriage is necessarily a happy one. In
deed, 1 consider that that marriage is
still incomplete which does not knoyy sor
row. loss, disappointment, aye, and even
death!"

AT THE THEATERS -
FORSYTH AUDIENCES LIKE
!' IE . W POPULAR VAUDEVILLE
T here Isn’t so much surprise because of
the tremendous success of popular vaude
ville at the Forsyth. Theater-goers have
grown tired of surprises that are pleasant
and things are now taken for granted.
I nquestionably a good many people made
tip their minds that the class of vaude
ville proposed for the Forsyth programs,
under this new policy, simply couldn't
be any good. And with this impression
took in one of the opening performances.
Those same people are in the front rank
of an army of Forsyth rooters. They
have found the same sort of vaudeville
that they have been seeing for three vears
with the exception that the bill is made
up of five instead of seven acts, and that
there are no star headliners.
The policy has been given the indorse
