Continued From Page One. v hen he was nominated and elected yii« pr* .-aient n the ticket with Mr. Taft. Seven Mentioned to Succeed Shennan WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.—Genuine sorrow was felt by men of all political parties todax over the death of Vice President Sherman. Then has been no intimation from the Republican national committee as to who shall succeed Mr. Sherman. His name probably will be kept upon the national ticket, so voters will be in the position of voting for a dead man. Mr. Sherman was the seventh vice president to die in office, and as the constitution does not provide for a suc cessor to a vice president, there can be no vice president until March 4, 1913. The duties of vice president are as sumed by the president pro tern, of the senate, but, owing to a long standing deadlock, there is no president pro tern, now. Knox Would Be Acting President, The constitution provides that, in the event of the president being incapaci tated the vice president succeeds him. Under present conditions, should Pres ident Taft be incapacitated, Secretary Knox would become acting president. It is likely the senate will come to some sort of agreement this winter and elect a presiding officer. Selection of a succ<»ssor to Mr. Sher man on tin national ticket can not be made until after the general election. Tlie Republican national committee probably will be < ailed to meet on No vember 12 in Chicago to make a selec tion. After tlie Republican national com mittee makes its selection, the succes sor to Mr Sherman will be indorsed by the presidential electors. Among the possible successors to Mr. Sherman mentioned so far are John Wannatnnker. of Philadelphia; Gov ernor Hadley, of Missouri; Governor Deneen. of Illinois: Senator Borah. Senator •’’timmins. former Vice Presi dent Fairbanks, and Senator Root, ot Nev York G O. P. Committee To Select Successor NEW YORK, Oct. 31.—" The selection of a successor to James S. Sherman as vice president on the Republican na tional ticket is entirely In tjie hands of the Republican national committee,” declared Charles D. Hilles, Republican national chairman, today. "As there is no president pro tern, of the senate, the speaker of the house will appoint the house committee to attend the funeral, and the secretary of the senate will appoint the representatives of that body. The power to make the selection of a successor Is vested in the Republican national committee, which probably will meet in Chicago for that purpose a week after the gen eral election. Os course, any action will depend upon success next Tuesday. The rumors of conferences here during President Taft’s stay had nothing what ever to do with the matter." If the Democrats or Progressives win in next Tuesday’s election, It will not bo necessary for the Republican national committee to name a successor to Mr. Sherman, although under those circum stances the office of vice president will be vacant until March 4 next. President Taft Depressed Greatly WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.—Greatly de pressed by the death of Vice President Janies S. Sherman, his running mate for the coming election. President Taft re turned to Washington early tpday to attend a number of official duties be fore leaving for Cincinnati, via New ark. N. J , and Utica, N. Y. While no definite plans were an nounced at the white house about the president’s movements,' owing to the fact that the date of the vice presi dent’s funeral has not been set, it was supposed that President Taft will at tend the unveiling of the Washington monument at Newark, going from there to Utica for the Sherman funeral. $19.35 WASHINGTON and RETURN Via SEABOARD On sale November Sth to 14th, limit December Ist.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.—I’ncle Sam's newest fighting monster, the $6,000,000 super-dreadnought New York, slid from the ways at the Brooklyn navy yard yesterday as 100,000 persons cheered, and President Taft, from a private stand, smiled upon Miss Elsie Calder, who crashed the bottle of champagne against the steel hull. The New York, together with her sis ter ship, the Texas, now building at Newport News, is the largest battle ship in the world. She is 40 per cent complete, and it Is estimated that with in eighteen months she will be in com mission. manned with over a thousand men and commanded by sixty-three of ficers. From the time the keel was laid up to the present, thirteen months have been occupied in constructing the hull, .which demonstrates, according to navy au thorities, that the government ship yards are capable of placing a dread nought in commission as quickly as any other nation. When placed in commission the New York will have an armament composed of ten fourteen-lnch guns—the largest In the world on a battleship. The aux iliary armament will be twenty-one five-inch guns and four twenty-one inch submerged torpedo tubes. Fully loaded, the vessel will have a total displacement of 28,367 tons, or ap proximately one thousand tons more than the battleship Arkansas, at pres ent the largest in the world. Her length will be 575 feet, with a beam of 95.25 feet, which will permit her pas sage through the Panama canal. The New York will be driven at a speed of twenty-one knots an hour by two triple expansion engines, the four teen boilers developing 28.100 horse power. It is estimated that upon com pletion the New York will have <i<st $10,000,000, of which $6,400,000 was ex pended on the hull and machinery. The vessel will be protected up to the water line by twelve-inch plating and above that by nine-inch plates. The turrets, of the big guns will have armor plating twelve inchesfihick.

DEMOCRATS URGE DIG FULTON VOTE Danger of Wilson Not Getting Majority Lies in Apathy, Says Committee. The Pulton county Democratic exec utive committee today issued the fol lowing appeal to voters: "To the Voters of Fulton County: "The Eulton county Democratic exec utive committee urges each voter in this county on November 5 to cast his ballot for Wilson and Mai shall. "For the first time in twenty years the Democratic party is on the eve of a great national victory. For Georgia, and especially Fulton county, to lag behind in the great triumphal proces sion which will march to the polls on Tuesday next would be nothing short of a calamity. "In all sections of the country th- DemocratiC party is united as never before. The Republican party is torn asunder between the Bull Moose and reactionary factions. "The attention of the voters Is called to the fact that In Georgia a majority of all the votes is required in order for the Democratic electors to carry the day. To stay away from the polls and not vote is equivalent to a vote against the Democratic candidate. In order for Wilson and Marshall to sweep the field it is only necessary that a full vote be pol!»d. The only danger the Demo crats have in Georgia is from apathy and overconfidence. "Fulton county is the largest county In Georgia and is the most important community in the Southern states. It would be a blow to the prestige of this section not to give an overwhelming majority for Wilson and Marshall. “We had a heated primary in Geor gia, in which Woodrow Wilson and Oscar Underwood Were the only candi dates voted upon. Whatever bitterness is engendered by this campaign has been happily forgotten. The leaders of all factions have gotten together and are putting their shoulders to the wheel for Wilson and Marshall. We may differ among ourselves as Demo crats, but all honorable men recognize that the obligation of a primary re quites that the voter cast his ballot for the victor In the general election. "De.sperate efforts are being made for the first time in years by the opponents of Democracy to make a showing against the Democratic candidates in Georgia. There is a considerable ne gro registration, which, it is safe to say, will go for one or the other of the Re publican candidates. Not only for the first time in twenty years has Democ racy a chance to win, but for the first time in over half a century has the South an opportunity to put a Southern born and Southern reared man in the presidential chair "Georgians do not miss this oppor tunity.” A Leg On the Track. of the fast express means serious trou ble ahead if not removed; so does loss of appetite. It means lack of vitality, loss of strength and nerve weakness. If appetite fails, take Electric Bitters quickly to overcome the cause by ton ing up the stomach and curing the in digestion.

Winn Sustained by Report of Trustees. Governor Brown was expected today to stand pat on the Soldiers Home row and allow the findings of the board of trustees to end the matter. A partial exoneration of Winn is the finding of the board of trustees, who conducted a thorough investigation of the charges made by Mrs. Mackie Clare, head nurse at the Soldiers Home. The formal report of the board, placed in the hands of Governor Brown today, declares that Colonel Winr. did go to the Soldiers Home on the night of Oc tober 18 in an intoxicated condition, but did not offer personal insult or injury to Mrs. ('hire, the head nurse, as he had been accused. While the governor appoints the members of the board, he is without power to remove them, and the board, by its action in completely exonerating Winn, has declared that it will not prosecute the charges further. Only two members of the board —A. J. Snelson and -R. D. Lawrence—voted to convict Winn for drunkenness on Oc tober 18, and three —A. C. Fate, Charles E. McGregor and A. P. Perham—• thought tljat Winn had made impropei advances upon Mrs. Clare. Captain Bloodworth, of Savannah, and Captain Charles Wiley, of Macon, were the only members of the board absent when the report was drawn up. Colbnel H. H. Colquitt, an inmate of the home, charged by Winn with being a favorite of Mrs. Clare's, issued a short statement, in which he denied Winn's allegations completely. He said that Winn would not have dared to say the things he did outside of the home. In his remarks Winn took advantage of his official position, Colquitt asserted.
