JAMES SHERMAN.
New York Representative Candidate
for Vice Presidency.

James Schoolcraft Sherman was
born at Utica, New York. October "a,
1855, where he attended the city
schools until he entered Hamilton col
lege, where he graduated in 1878, the
degree of LII. D. being conferred upon
him in 1903. He was admitted to the
bar in 1880 and entered the practice
of his profession at Utica and four
years later was elected mayor of the
city.
In 1895 he served as chairman of
the Republican state central COM
mittee and again in 1900 served again
in the same capacity. In 1887 he
was elected member of congress
from the z3rd New York district. and
served until 1891. Two years later he
was elected to congress from the 25th
New York district and served for ten
years. In 1903 he was again elected
as a member of congress, this time
from the 27th New York district
which he represents at the present
time his term expiring in 1903. His
home is in Utica, New York, where
he is the president of the Utica Trust
and Deposit company.

ca inhabitant probably will ask.
Jimmy" Sherman, or, to be more
exact, James Schoolcraft Sherman, is
the congressman from the Utica dis
trict- He is Republican. His
brother is a Democrat. New York pol
iticians like to tell one that Jim Sher-
mans brother is a Democrat and they
also like to recount the incident of the
election some years ago, in which the
Utica congressional district was elect
ing a congressman and the city of
Utica was electing a mayor. The Re
publican nominee for congress was
Jim" Sherman. The Democratic nom
inee for mayor was the brother. Both

James Schoolcraft Sherman was born
in Utica, October "a, 1855. He mas lived
there ever since. has accumulated
wealth and influence and knows every
one in that town. He was graduated
from Hamilton college in 1873, and was
admitted to the bar III 1850.
He is the president OF the Utica
Trust and Deposit company, president
OF the New Hartford Canning company
and has a law practice which would
keep him fairly busy if he didn't nave
his other responsibilities.
He was elected lnayc- OF Utica in

The call proceeded and nearly com

delegates pressed forward to the front
of the speakers platform, asking that
their state be called again in order to
allow Ex-Governor Yarmouth to de-
liver a seconding speech. The chair
man refused to allow this, saying:

TAFT COMING WEST.
To Spend Saturday in Cincinnati and
Then to New Haven.

Washington, June 19.-Usually an
early riser Secretary Taft was little
late in taking up the business of the
day and 1t was after 9 o'clock this
morning before he came down to
breakfast. The principal lower rooms
of the K street residence of the secre-
tary were still filed with magnificent
punches of cut flowers and kilograms
of congratulations were piled high on
a side board. One that came over
night was of peculiar interest to the
secretary. It was that from Senator
La Toilette.
The fatigues and excitement of last
night apparently made little impress
sion upon Mrs. Taft and other mem
bers of the secretary's family and
even before the usual breakfast hour
all of them were down stairs and
deeply engrossed in the morning
newspapers, every one of which dis
played more or less pleasing likenesses
Of the war secretary and candidate on
the first pages.
A sign of the change that has taken
place in the official status OF Secretary
Taft was the appearance OF a blue coat
ed policeman, who took station al
the cuTD directly III VI lie AdAl
residence, where he or one OF h.S mates
will remain col:tantly on duty day
and night, whenever Secretary Taft Is
in Washington.
When the secretary descended from
his bedroom this morning and lrered
the drawing room he found caller In
the person of Lieutenant General Hen
nv C. Corbin, no. only known officially
to the secretary in thai capacity and
also in his incumbency Of the governor
generalship of the Philippines. but also
a warm personal friend. and last but
not least, as an Ohio mar and fellow
statesman. He extended his ccEgratu-
lations and they were gratefully re-
ceived.
A telegram received over night from
u member Of his family in the west
determined Secretary Taf. to leave
washington this afternoon for Cincin-
natl He expects stop in Cincinnati
tomorrow, and will leave that city In
time to reach New Haven Monday tc
participate In the reunion of his class
Of '78.

TO Become Effective ON the Last
Day of June.
LUKE WRIGHT NAMED
Successor Has Been SeIected Nv
the Chief Executive.
He Is q Citizen of Tennessee aud
Democrat.

Washington, Juno 1s.-Secretarv
Taft today presented to the president
MS resignation to take effect June 80.
and 1t was announced at the white
House that Luke e. Wright of Ten
nessee. will be appointed secretary Of
war to succeed Secretary Taft. In
making this announcement the presi-
dent was Influenced somewhat by the
oeslre to recognize in some emphatic
way that there is no longer any divid-,
ing line between the north and the
south. and that all good Americans
are IN thought and deed, one and the
president was Influenced still more by
the fact that General Wright,s per-
sonal attributes and experience pre-
emfnently fit him for this particular
position.
Mr.. Wright is Democrat in politics
He has served as member of the Phil
ippines commission, as president Of
that body and as governor general of
the islands.
More recently he was ambassador to
Japan under President Roosevelt. Cen
Wright is a warm personal friend of
the president.
An important phase of the case lies
| in the fact that General Wright has
been a Democrat, although serving in
| important positions under the Roose-
velt administration.
His home is at Memphis, Tenn. and
his appointment to a cabinet position
is likely to cut considerable of figure
in Tennessee election results
| General Wright succeeded Judge
Taft as governor of the Philippines,
and his knowledge of the oriental
situation will particularly qualify him
| to administer the dutiesf of secretary
| of war.
General Wright Is Iseffcent.
Memphis, Tenn, June 19.-When
seen by an Associated Press repre-
sentative, General Luke E. Wright
said he did not think it proper to dis
cuss the announcement that he would
