‘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.

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.

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.

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 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. with the return to the time honored and dignified methods of Mi Kinley and THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 21. 1912 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 campaign of misrepresentation and vil ification is alienating those w h"se trust 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 The British press today was unani mous in naming the dead patriarch as ; vw .• /I F wHI *' iHS •' ; ■'■ - * > gk // ■ . General William Booth, founder and heat! of the Salvation Army, who is dead in London, mourned by the whole world: his daughter. Commander Eva Booth, who has eared for him almost constantly during his severe affliction of the last few years. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
