SHERMAN WILL
SUPPORT TICKET

UTICA, y. Y Sept. 29.--'I am en-
urely content with the result OF the
Saratoga convention. The platform liz
exceptionally strong and the ticket ia
excellent l shall certainly support it,
declared Vice President Sherman this
afternoon.
The vice. president did not seem bit
ter over his defeat by Colonel Roose-
welt. but could not refrain from TAX
ing this dig at his opponent:
or course, the convention was alb
solutely dominated by one man and
It's every action was taken at mis- bid
ding. That. however, related to pro-
eedure and does not affect the basic
principles of the party. ! accept the
result complacently and shall support
every man nominated

the platform. and that is with the di-
rect primaries plank, 1t will require
explanation of its meaning and expIa-
nations will differ | preferred the
minority plank. which was uneouivo-
cal in declaration"

Qualities and is Gratified at En-
dorsement of Administration.
WASHINGTON. ID. C., September
2s.-Having Jared far better than he
and the administration mad hoped for
at the Saratoga convention. it was
learned to-day that President Taft
will give the New York Republican
ticket his warm support. In his
forthcoming speech Saturday night
before the New York League of Re-
publican Clubs, he is expected to an
nounce publicly strong endorsement
OF the Roosevelt organization
Intimate friends OF the president
say that the executive regards II. l..
Stimson as the strongest possible
gubernatorial choice, and recall that
weeks ago when the question of can
didates was first agitated. Mr.. Taft
expressed his belief that Stimson
would make the best race.
While Mr.. Taft VIII adhere to his
policy of hands off In State political
fights and will not discuss the New
York situation, he has privately ex-
pressed his qualification over the
strong endorsement of the administra-
ton, and its policies as contained In
the platform. Colonel Roosevelt went
into the convention assured of the
presidents cooperation in his fight
against bossism, and the fact that
Colonel Roosevelt in dominating the
convention, did the unexpected and
wrote strong endorsement where IL
was anticipated there would be merely
perfunctory one, is particularly
pleasing to the executive. 1t VIII serve
to bring the two into closer relations.
The tenderness with which the
delicate subject of the tariff was
handled in the platform was not only
pleasing TO the administration but
came as surprise.

snip OF New York, William Randolph

terVtew to the United Press The New
York editor asserted that he knew alb
solutely that Murphy had arranged
Tor the nomination. and that despite
all denials on the part of Gaynor. the
latter would accept.

After declaring that Gaynor tried
to get MIN (HearsG) to promise the
support OF the independence League

promising In return to steer clear of

WASHED AWAY HIS HOME.
The Fortune That Came to Man and
La.

The Fortune That Came to Man and
His Clever Wife.
An Irishman named Whalen found
Il fortune in Il very amusing way,
says the Cape Town Argus. With the
savings of his wife he bought not far
from Ballarat Il few acres of ground
containing IL water pool and sluggish
spring. With the mud and gravel from
the bottom of the pool he made sun
dried bricks and. building cabin for
himself and family. started bar for
the miners.
Quite contrary TO their usual habits,
a colony of Cinnamon living near by
commenced TO visit his bar every
night, Then Mrs. Whalen discovered
that some one had bit by bit carried
Off the mud pigstye and Its surround
Ing wall so gradually that 1t had al
most gone before she noticed it. Soon
the chimney and the cabin walls also
began to vanish. After careful
watch Mrs. Whalen discovered that
while one band of Cinnamon kept her
husband busy In the bar another band
was stealing the chimneys and walls.
Whalen knew the Cinnamon were no
fools, and, acting on his wlfe's sugges-
ton, he also "stole a pan of dirt from
his own chimney and washed 1t out.
Then he ordered tents for his family
TO live In and washed away the entire
house. 1t was literally built of gold
dust. After that the pool and the
spring were also attacked. and the re.
suit was big fortune fer the lucky
lrishman and his cute lite wife.
