SHERMAN CHEERFUL
Does Net Consider His illness At All
Serious

Cleveland, June 24-Nlce Presi
dental Nominee j. s. Sherman Is
somewhat better today. He slept we'll
last night and this morning his tent
peratare was lower.
Cleveland, O., June 24.-Vice Pres
idential Nominee James 8. Sherman,
Iassed con Portable night. He is
suffering from an attack Of gall stones
to which he has been subject for some
years. According to bulletin issued
last night the physicians were of the
opinion that an operation for the re.
moval OF gall stones would not be
necessary.
The following message was dictated
by Mr.. Sherman to his secretary late
this evening In answer to message
of sympathy from the presidential
nominee, William II. Taft:
Lakeside Hospital, Cleveland, June
20, '0S.
Hon. William H. Taft, New Haven,
Conn.
my Dear Mr.. Taft: My illness is
not of critical nature and the doc
tors have advised me that l can
probably go home in three or four
days. l thank you ever so much in
deed for your cordial telegram. | ex-
pect to see you in Washington on
Wednesday Of next week.
(Signed) -. S. Sherman"
The unfavorable symptom in the
case Is the continued high tempera-
ture. In the o'clock bulletin 1t was
given as 1921 with pulse normal At
that hour Mr.. Sherman was restless.
The extreme heat of the day, run
ming into the 90s, was unfavorable to
the patient.
When received at the hospital Mr.
Sherman was very restless with a
temperature of 1902 and pulse 92. Drs.
Carter and Allen conferred, but post
poned action until further develop
ments. At | p. m. Mr.. Sherman rest
ed comfortable and upon awakening
from a short sleep seemed refreshed.
At 2:3O p. m, his condition had i'm
proved to such an extent that the ply
sicians stated their confidence In his
quick recovery.
No special change was noticed I'M
til $50 p. m, when the temperature
increased one degree, with a quicker
pulse, due, the doctors said to the ex-
element attending the arrival of Mrs
Sherman and son Richard from Utica.
Mrs. Sherman and son arrived at
4:35 p. m, from their home In Utica.
They hurried to the hospital In an
automobile. Upon arriving Mrs Sher
man was so nervous and weak as a
result of her anxiety that she had to
be carried in a chair to the apartments
assigned to her. She did not immedi-
ately enter the sick room of her hus-
band but remained In her rooms until
she had recovered her strength. The
meeting of the father, mother and son
was under conditions entirely differ
ent from those planned for his even
ing at their Utica home, where elab-
crate arrangements had been made
for the home coming of the vice pres.
idential nominee. Mr.. Sherman ex-
pressed his profound interest in the
plans made for his reception and voic-
ed his keen disappointment at not be-
ing able to be at home.

JOHNSON FOR SECOND PLACE
VIce-PresidentiaI Candidate the Bio
Problem at Denver.

Denver, June 24.--Even among the
few Democrats Of prominence who
have come to Denver to attend the
national convention which will begin
two weeks from today, the choice OF
ia candidate for vice-President is the
leading theme, and 1t is already evi-
dent that in this respect at least the
convention will be counterpart OF
the Republican convention at Chicago.
AS choice among candidates Gov
ernor johnson has decided cad.
Little attention is paid to the an
lnouncement that he Is not candidate
and would not accept. Those who
favor him say that while he has been
successful in Minnesota he has not
won such place in his party that he
could afford to decline a nomination
for second place on Democratic ma
tional ticket. They contend that he is
the one available man who would
properly supplement Mr.. Bryan's can
didacy and declare they must have
him."
On the other hand the friends of
Governor Johnson say that regard
less of the prospects their candidate
will be put in nomination for first
place, and as rule they refuse to dis
cuss the possibility Of his being named
for Vice-President
