IN CASE SHERMAN DIES.
Chairman New Says Committee Has
Power to Fill Vacancy.

Chicago, June 24.-When appraised
Of the illness of Representative James
S. Sherman, the Republican vice presi-
Dental nominee, Harry S. New, chair
man of the national committee, ex-
pressed great regret.
While the friends of Mr.. Sherman
are taking a hopeful view of his Ease
the, question naturally arises regard
ing the course of procedure in case of
his demise. MI. New was clearly of
opinion that In such event the national
committee would have full power to
name a vice presidential candidate.
They are, he said, vested with similar
power with regard to the presidential
candidate, but said that where there
was sufficient time before election to
do SO the committee would reassemble
the convention and have a nomination
made in the regular way. While there
Is no precedent to guide the national
committee in filling a vacancy there
seems to be no doubt that the commit
tee has authority to name a candidate
for vice president in the event of the
death Of MT. Sherman. This is the
opinion OF. a number of the members
Of the national Republican committee,
It being stated that the representa-
tive of the state on the national COM
mittee stands in the place of the state
delegation to the national convention
and therefore has authority to act for
the delegation in the event Of a va
cancy on the national ticket.
While every one hopes that there
will be no occasion to select another
candidate for vice president by the
Republicans there is no doubt that the
national committee has authority to
fill a vacancy in an emergency.

The hot weather OF Saturday did
more than increase the receipts OF the

This Is a strictly voluntary organ
ization that started last winter when

OF accompanying their chief on home
ward jaunts. Koch lives out on JOS

distance per pedal extremities, but
he likes the exercise and the stan
rallied nobly as long as the weather
was cool.
With the coming OF the warm
weather In June, William Perren, the

Koch stuck gamely to the sidewalk

Members OF the Michigan Bankers
association are back In their homes
after trip pronounced the best In
the history of the Organization. The
City OF st. Ignace reached Detroit at
Sis Sunday morning and the party
broke up after a six-day cruise which
took them to Marquette. Munising.
Mackinac island and other northern
lake points. Petoskey will be the OBJ
jective point next year, Leon Chiches-
Ter. OF that city. having been elected
president.
There was some surprise over the
close vote for members OF the execu-
tive council of the American Bankers
association. William Livingstone. OF
Detroit, winning by vote Of "A to AZ
over Joseph w. Selden, OF Calumet.
There were several proxies for the
latter. but these could not be voted.
AS Detroit Is to have the convention
of the national association within two
years, 1t Is probable that Livingstone
will be elected president Of that body
next year.
The bankers started a subscription
list while on the boat to erect a me-
mortal gate at Pressure Isle park to
the late Peter White.
The most interesting discussion on
the trip was In regard to guarantee

the bankers being mostly against the

are known only to the prison officials

crime, leaving 1t to the officials who
actually carry out the sentence to Sc
lect the moment when the sentence
shall be carried into effect.
Ala retains his fierce hatred OF the
