ment needs no comment to add TO

H. Patterson, of Nutana, Saskatche-

his money, $137, into shack and lot,
making sure of home. AS cook and
caterer in local hotel he made $76$
a month. and out Of this had some
savings out of which he paid his
breaking and improvements on the
homestead. The shack was sold to
good advantage. Then Mr.. Patterson
tells the story after he had removed
his family to the homestead:

1887 and lasted, with one years excep-
ton, until he ran for vice.president
with Taft in 1908. Three times he
served as a chairman of state con-
ventions, and he has been spoken Of"
in connection with almost every I'M
portant 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 ma
tional 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.
Was Married in 1881.
The vicepresident's marriage to
Miss Carrie Babcock OF East Orange,
N. j., granddaughter of Col. Eliakim
Sheriff., noted Wing leader In New
York in the days Of Henry Clay, took
place in 1881.
His children are Sheriff., banker;
Richard Hugh. Hamilton college
mathematics professor, and Thomas
M. an official in one Of his fathers
companies-all married and residents
Of Utica.
Sherman was not long in congress
before he was recognized as one OF
the really influential men in the ma
tional legislature From the begin
ming he was one Of the most popular
men in Washington, with host OF
personal friends even among the
Democrats. A friend Of all the men
powerful in his party, his appoint
ments during his eighteen years as
congressman were numerous. He was
closely allied with Speaker Cannon,
and once he tried to get the speaker
ship himself-when Reed retired. A
western combination prevented his
election, however. Sherman stood next
to Speaker Reed in his grasp of par
liamentary law.
Requested to Stay In Congress.
When defeated for the speakership,
Sherman was offered the position OF
secretary of the senate, but was COM
PEELED to decline because of the ur-
gent request of his townsmen that
he continue to represent them in con-
gress. This action of his townsmen
occurred a second time, when Nc
5Kinley offered to make him general
appraiser Of the port of New York.
Mass meetings were held in Utica and
great gatherings sent delegates to
him to beg him to remain in congress
as their representative. So he de-
clined this place and stayed in con-
gress.
viii Not Affect Election.
New York, Oct 31.-The death OF
Vfce-President Sherman will have no
effect on the election. The Taft cleo
tors, in case of Taft victory at the
polls next Tuesday, will elect a vice
president. The selection will probably
be made by the Republican national
committee, in case the Republican
ticket wins.
Disregarding the outcome Of the
election the country will have no vice
president up to March 4, 1913, owing
to the death of Mr.. Sherman, as the
Constitution makes no provision for
successor to the vice-president.
At present there Is no president pro
tempore Of the senate, the position
formerly held by Senator William P.
Frye of Maine, the Republicans in the
senate having failed to agree upon
successor.
