Montpelier, Oct. 2S.-There were 145
members or more than a quorum present
when the House convened at eight o'clock
this evening and the Senate, which met
half an hour earlier, had only 10 members
in their seats. The Senate was able to
dispose of some third readings but there
were so many bills for introduction that
the House was able to do but little except
listen to them.
Speaker Plumley called Mr.. Billings

YICE-PRESIDENT SHERMAN
SERIOUSLY ILL AND FAILING
Matter of Grave Doubt Whether Mr.. Taft's
Running Mate Can Much Longer Combat
Complication of Diseases.

otica' N. Y. Oct. 2S.--James 8. Sher-
man. vice-president Of the United
states, Is seriously i'll and steadily
railing at his home here. While his
physician, DR.. Fayette II. Peck. be
lieves there is no immediate LANCER
OF death. yet the distinguished pa
TENTS condition Is such that 1t is a
matter of conjecture how much longer
he can withstand the ravages of the
disease with whrch ne is afflicted.
After a day Of discouraging symp-
toms, Mr.. Sherman rallied at nightfall
ana continued to show improvement
during the evening. This Is due in no
small measure to powerful medicines
whether he can much longer success
fullY combat an attack of kidney
trouble and complications first appar-
ent more than a year ago. Is a mat
ter OF grave doubt.
The members of his family are with
him constantly while his intimate
friends have been notified thai he has
been failing steadily.
Mr.. Sherman's physician. DR.. Fayette
H.. Peck of this city, rave this statement
to the Associated Press representative
at eight o'clock this evening:
"Mr. Sherman has been sick all of this
year due to condition of kidneys. hard
ening of the arteries and softening of the
muscles of the heart, which is somewhat
stretched. Mr.. Sherman had an attack in
the Adirondacks. at Big Moose to be ex-
act. in june and I expected him TO die.
He got out of Big Moose safely and I'm
proved steadily and very satisfactorily
until the latter part of August. Since
then his condition has been aggravated
and he has been steadily failing.
For the last three weeks. since he
came back from Connecticut where he
vent to rest. he has been dressed only
once and that was n week ago Friday
when. against my protest. he went out
to the polls to register.
"Mr. sherman is now in the condition
which hat sort of trouble leads to and is
very seriously III, but there Is l believe
no immediate danger of death"
Shortly before eleven o'clock to-
night a son of the vice-president made
attending physicians:
after consultation tonight in the
case of Nice-President Sherman, the
diagnosis of weakened heart muscle
the result of overwork. with some kid
nev involvement. is confirmed. (Sign.

SPECULATION IN WASHINGTON.


Washington. Oct. 2s.-The illness of
Vice -President Sherman. and specula-
tion over the possibilities Of his with
drawal from the republican ticket be-
cause OF the precarious condition OF
his health, aroused discussion here to-
day over the probable methods Of nll-
Ing his place.
The general opinion expressed was
that the republican national commit
tee, or the executive committee, pos
sessed power to fill a vacancy upon
the ticket No one here processes to
know whether the Chicago convention
specifically provided for such an emer-
gency. The report Of the 1908 onven
ton does not appear to show that such
a provision was made then and the
s%tenographic report of the convention
this year has not yet been printed.
Should a vacancy occur on the repub-
lican ticket, either before or after cleo
zion, some republican leaders here to-day
argued the electors would have power
to vote for any candidate for vice-presi-
dent they might choose. Precedents were
admitted TO be lacking, but It was de-
clared that only party discipline and
honor had in the past bound electors to
vote for their party nominees. No one
suggested. however. that a choice by
the republican national committee or It's
executive committee would fail to re-
ceive the support of The Taft electors.
Ordinarily, should there be no vice.
president. the president pro tenn. of the
Senate would preside over that body and
the line of the succession to the presi-
dency would be to the secretary Of state.
For the last several months, however.
the present senate has been unable to
agree upon a president pro TEN. and
that office has been vacant.
Some time ago. 1t was learned to-day,
Chairman Charles u. Hilles Of the repub-
lican national committee made exhaus-
tive inquiries as to the necessity OF GER
flying to the various secretaries of
states the names Of the republican can
Cidates and as a result certified the
names Of Taft and Sherman for printing
upon ballots in all States. A supplement
tai petition, however, probably would be
accepted In most States where ballots
have not already been printed. The pro-
cedure where ballots already have been
printed was not known.
The possibility. II even a remote one,
that there might be no republican candi-
date for vice-president. suggests many In
teresting possibilities in the event that
the election should go to the House OF
Representatives.

somewhat lower temperatures, with
