He said that without the cooperation of Congress the next president would be unable to carry out any substantial reforms He asked therefore that the citizens vote for every candidate on the Democratic ticket or not vote the ticket at all.
 The candidate was hustled out of his comfortable berth on the Philadel- phia sleeper at o'clock this morning. He had about an hour to shave and get breakfast. This necessitated a rush to Camden, where he and his party caught train for Cape May Courthouse. The town was reached at 10 o'clock. The candidate was hur- ried to little court house that seat ed about 400 persons. There were hundreds outside who were unable to gain entrance, but many of them looked in through the open windows and caught snatches of his speech
 The candidate went to Wildwood by automobile. At the Hippodrome he addressed a crowd of about 4.000. The address was mainly a repetition of that delivered at Cape May.
 The governor left Wildwood for Burlington at o'clock, but the train was late and he stood on the station platform for about 15 minutes. He passed part of the time kissing babies held up to him by proud mothers.

His Useful Career.


 James Schooleraft Sherman was born in Utica, N. Y, on October 24, 1S33. His parents were Richard F. and Mary Frances Sherman, both of English descent. Richard t. Sherman was journalist by profession He established the Utica Morning Herald and later, when politics and public office became his principal concern, he wrote Washington letters for New York papers, in which he raised Ros- COG Conklinf, who lived in Utica.
 Vice President Sherman attended the public schools of Utica and ill l81S was graduated from Hamilton College, which is in suburb Of that city, Two years later he was admit ted to the bar and he continued to practice law until the beginning of the year of l907
 Although his father had been strong Democrat, Mr. Sherman allied hlmselt at the age Of tWenty~tWo with the Republican party lis rise ill it's ranks was steady In 1883 he became Oneida county chairman and one year later he was elected mayor, at the age of twenty-nine. He vas the youngest mayor Utica ever had.
 His congressional career began in 1887 and lasted with one years ex- ception, until he ran for vice pres- dent with Taft in 1908. Throughout his continuous office-holdjng life he has grown steadily in importance as cog in the Republican party mach ire. Three times he served as chair man of state conventions, and he has been spoken of in connection with almost every important political post since 1900
 In the House Sherman served as chairman of the committee on rail- ways and canals, of the committee on Indian affairs and of the committee on rules, all-powerful in its influence.
 The part Sherman played in the National Councils of the Republican party was more felt than observed, but it was always of highest import ance. He was invariably consulted in the mapping out of national cam paigns.
 The Vice Presidents marriage to Miss Carrie Babcock, of East Orange, N. J., granddaughter of Colonel olldhlLH oucIIlll, IlOLeu WulR ledu- CT in New York in the days of Henry Clay, took place in 1881. His children are Sherrill, a banker; Richard Hugh, Hamilton college mathema- tics professor, and Thomas M., an of ficial in one of his fathers companies all married and residents of Utica
 Before Sherman's election to the vice presidency two things ill parti- cular had served to make him prom inent as national figure. They were the Roosevelt-Harriman affair and the congressional campaign plan of $100 contributions. In the Hartman matter, President Roosevelt made Sherman the intermediary, addressing to him the famous letter containing, the shorter and uglier" word. Mean while Sherman had come to be vide 1 ly known as Dollar Jim.' As chair man of congressional campaign con- mittee in 1906, he sent out calls for $1 subscriptions. Afterward he said that these small gifts had practically defrayed expenses.
 Sherman was not long in Congress before he was recognized as one o1 the really influential men in the ma tional Legislature. From the begin ming he was one of the most popular

An Idea That
Created Trade.
By JOHN MORTON,

\ HAVE found In long experience that
what me people IN this world want Is
active demonstration. If you are a man
IN business, you can heap all the goods

Arrange one little demonstration to show the
worth Of the srtiole. That fact once saved
me from financial ruin.
! wAS IN . Pacific coast town and had
bought Job lot Of raincoat,. I opened a
store and started to sell them out at reduced
prices. AT least, I tried to sell them. How
ever. things didn't so well.
The sun was shining with q ferocity that
seemed to Indicate there never would be any
rain. The window fun OF coats seemed hot
and un.nvitinz. No one even stopped to
look at them. There was no bad weather
to lure the people in and didn't have money
enough to wait until bad weather came.
had TO do something. and do It quick.
That night the idea came to me and the
next morning put II In force. First OF all
took all those heavy ratncoats out Of the
window. Then bought a shower arrange
mert ana had plumber do a hurry job of
putting drain into the window space. Then
I hired a pretty girl. put a raincoat on her.
and a waterproof hat and stood her under
the shower.
BY noon the police department had to send
men to my place to keep the crowd moving
on. BY night I was 50 tired couldn't see
straight making sales. The next morning
wired for more raincoats. TWO days later
was havine them shipped in by express and
had doubled my sales stan. And when the
rainysssason came nearly everybody IN that
town was wearing . raincoat that had como
from my store. All they had needed was -

In that way tie up their trade with the
houses you are selling for? In this way you
can have trade OF 300 TO 400 customers on
every article O man and his family consume.
The idea was 20 good right on the face
OF II that II needed no discussion, so We put
II INTO operation Within six months we
had 50 per cent OF the banks employees in on
the deal and were simply coming money.
In the meantime. the detail OF the busi-
ness had grown 20 large that had enga ssd

And mind you. was . bsolutely fair with my
employers. An this business was being trans

Then the real possibilities Of my idea
struck me I Incorporated the COOPERATIVE.
Buying association. 20 rs to retain my hold
upon 1t and its profits, left the business In
charge OF my men. resigned from the bank,
and started out to duplicate the plan in
other businesses.
To cut . long story short today have
nearly ssventy-hve Of these cooperative buy
ing companies In operation
These cooperative buying companies are
making me a millionaire They draw down
commissions on everything employees wear,
everything they eat and the good they co
Is inesttmable. They have reduced for thou
