Attitude on Public Questions.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept. 17.-Jarnes s.
Sherman, republican vice presidential
nominee. made his first speech of the
campaign outside Of his home city t.
the Pennsylvania League Of Republi-
can clubs last night
The Utican scored w. ]. Bryan for
the dropping Of policies heretofore ad-
yocated, and pictured the achievements
of the republicans during their almost
uninterrupted reign for half CEN
tury.
Mr.. Sherman began his address by
paying tribute to Pennsylvania for It's
LOYALTY to the republican party and de-
sclaring that the immense ma1orltles
returned in the state in the past
would be made even larger thru the
aid Of the League Of Republican clubs.
He then opened fire on the Ph1la-
delphia Record for its recent statement
that w. II. Taft is greater than his
party and that it is the party and not
the nominee the people have reason
to fear.
..rhe philadelphia Record is offering
excuse for it's attempted belittling OF
the late President Cleveland's conn.,
mendation Of Mr.. Tafes candidacy
said Mr.. Sherman, says there are
thousands of good democrats who ap-
ureciate the high attainments of MT.
Taft, and that the man is better than
his party.
"what inference can be drawn from
Ahe Records words other than that
with democracy the party is better
than the candidate? If so, what snail
we saw of the candidate? Mr.. Cleve-
land received the support of tens OF
thousands of voters because they mad
confidence that whatever financial
yagary the democratic party espoused
he would stand for honest money.
