THE UNIVERSITY IN THIS CAMPAIGN.

The fact that the three leading candidates for
President are alumni of Harvard. Yale, and Prince
ton respectively, gave rise few months ago to ex-
pectation that rivalry between the three colleges
would run high this fall.
But here is pretty kettle Of fish out in Cali
fornia certain Princeton graduate named Park
alleges that Wilson once told him he didn't believe
in democracy or the higher education Of the COM
mon people, and that as dirty work must be. done
the children Of those doing it should be brought
I'D to do il in their turn. Naturally, Governor Will
son denied it, at the time casting little slur

VICE PRESIDENT SHERMAN's ILLNESS.

Even among his associates in Washington, COM
paratively few people have known what a hard
worker James S. Sherman has been for many years.
Now that he lies at the point Of death, people who
knew him most intimately are recalling the labors
that without doubt undermined mis- health.
Had he not spent most Of his active life in pub
lie affairs, Mr.. Sherman would, undoubtedly, have
had highly successful business career He came to
Congress at time when he had not yet accumulated
any considerable property. In and about his homo
city Of Utica he became interested In business enter
rrises, which rapidly came to depend largely on his
excellent judgment and his skill In executive direc-
tion These could not spare his services even at
sons when public business made the most burden
some demands on him, and Mr.. Sherman somehow
managed to do the work Of two men. There were
few men who in addition to constant attention to
legislative AFFAIRS maintained such close and
slant relations to private business. For many years
it was his custom to hurry away from Washington
whenever engagements would permit, make an over
night trip to Utica, attend meetings Of boards, look
after the general management OF increasingly i'm
portant enterprises in which he was concerned and
then hurry back to Washington.
Washington knew him, during those strenuous
years, as hard worker In his public capacity, but
few knew that in addition TO that he was carrying
very real burdens Of private business, or that this
latter owed great oeal OF us success 10 MS Close
and intelligent attention.
The Vice Presidents critical illness is cause OF
genuine sorrow among circle Of friends than which
few men could boast greater. He has always been
delightfully."- democratic and personally popular. To
the Senate he brought, its presiding officer, the
breezy and simple ways that had made him the friend
OF everybody in the House for many years. and in ad
dition he brought most intimate and accurate un
derstandng of parliamentary procedure.

So when D'Anvers met Virgin

And he did. He'd never been in

quite sure whether or not he'd
find Indians running. wild in the
streets of Chicago or not, but he
was quite certain of what he
wanted.
He went directly to old Gross
