AS VIEWED BY PEORIA PAPER
Bride of Lieutenant Governor Sher-
man Has Severe Task Ahead.

Peoria Herald-Transcript: Larry
Sherman, lieutenant governor of ILL
nois and approximate friend of Roose-
welt has married school teacher and
the people of Illinois may be pardoned
for expressing the fervent wish that
his bride will proceed at once to the
job of filling up the chasms in his
face, produced by long and persever-
ing labor at the lunch counters of
Springfield.
Sherman is more or less of freak
in many ways. He has two fads-
simplicity and revenge, and follows
both with intense ardor. He has lived
for years a life that is as plain and
unattractiye as the frescoing in the
state capitol Some of his time he
has spent in statecraft but most of it
ne has spent in pursuing a political
enemy to a convenient battle ground
and hewing him down with aboriginal
delight He has been the Donnybrool
fair of Illinois politics and the tail of
his coat has covered at various times
almost every county in the state.
fOT all Larry IS So pidlh anu ui
destinations he is accused by his in
innate friends of indulging in one
luxury. This is silk underwear. Sher
man has always believed in putting
| his worst foot forward and his rough
est clothes on the outside. Next to
his skin his raiment is as soft and
clinging and diaphanous as butter
ny's wing He has been known TO re
ceive $50 bill for a fee and spend
1895 of it for four suits of silk under
| wear, reserving a nickel for han
sandwich-his regular evening tipple
i Mrs. Sherman has q hard job in {
good many ways but the people of the
state are with her. If she can tame
down, groom uf, puff out and make
over the Honorable Larry until hi
purrs with content instead of making
a noise like a carboy of vitriol ex
plodng she viii have done the STATE
ali enormous service.
