HADLEY MAY Be
OFFERED PLACE
MISSOURI GOVERNOR LOOKED
UPON AS PROBABLE SUCCESS.
SoR. TO SHERMAN.

New York, s,Oct S1.-The death OF
Vice President Sherman leaves the
place vacant on the republican nation
al ticket.
The subject has been considered,
although there has been no conference
here among any group Of party lead
ers. 1t is safe to say that the man,
above all others, that the republican
leaders would prefer to name in
Sherman's stead is Judge Charles e.
Hughes of the United States supreme
court But it is well understood that
Justice Hughes is through with poll
tics The only other names that
have been mentioned are those of
Gov. Herbert S. Hadley of Missouri
and Senator William q. Borah of
Idaho. They were the foremost sup
porters of Colonel Roosevelt for the
republican presidential nomination,
but declined to join the third party.
The opinion here is that Governor
Hadley would decline to accept the
nomination and that Senator. Borah
would be likely to refuse. The latter
is now engaged in an effort to have
the republican legislature returned in
Idaho so that he may be reelected 20
the senate. .
Persons who have studied the mat
ter pointed out today that it will not
be necessary to name a republican
candidate for vice president in his
place, as they do not cast their ballots
directly for the president and vice
president, but for members of the
electoral college, who. in turn, choose
the president and vice president.
There Is no constitutional or legal
obligation imposed on the electors TO
vote for particular candidates and it
was explained that the electors i'm the
states carried by President Taft could
vote for whoever was the republican
candidate for vice president even IL
their choice were not made until after
the election Tuesday or for that mat
ter until Just prior to the meeting of
the electors in January.
The means was provided by the re-
cent republican convention, however,
to meet just such contingency. The
convention, having in mind Sherman's
precarious state of health, adopted
resolutions authorizing the republican
national committee to fill any vacancy
/ that might occur in the ticket. The
choice Of the vice presidential candi-
date BY the committee would be bind
| ing on the party organization.

dent Taft Will leave Washington late
tomorrow for Utica to attend the Sher-
man funeral Saturday afternoon. The
President will be accompanied by his
aides and secretaries. What the cab

arms of the senate, transmitted 1t to
the senators as the official notification
OF the death of their presiding officer.
James Fowler, Attorney General
Wickersham's assistant, appeared at
the supreme court in behalf of his
chief and moved the adjournment of
the court. The adjournment was TAX

All the city flags were lowered e

by every other possible way the Vtce

grief.
Sherman was prominent factor IN
many business enterprises in the city
and the offices of such concerns were
closed for the day.
Many messages of coincidence were
received during the night ana they
continued to pour in today from all
parts Of the country. They include
kilograms from Taft, Roosevelt and
most of the men in public life. These
messages began to arrive even be
fore Sherman had actually passed
away, but all such were for a time
withheld from the family.
Since the beginning of the illness
of his chief Harry DeVendorf. who FOR
the last eighteen years had been
Sherman's private secretary, has been
constantly with him and today was
giving close attention to all the details
pertaining to the late vice president
affairs and to the approaching funer-
al ceremonies. The people of this
city have seen comparatively little
of Sherman for the last year. He
left here for Washington in December,
1911, and was SO constantly occupied
with his duties as presiding OFFICER OF
the senate that he was unable to Visa
the city except on one or two occa-
sions, previous to his return here at
the beginning of the final illness last
June. a.., .... e..
Not until it became evident that
the crisis was approaching, did his
physician make known the fact that
after he left Utica and went to Big
Moose, had he come near dying at that

Oakes, n. D., oct. SOTO The For$,
un: The campaign has been marked
by uncertainty and indecision. and a.
disposition on. the part of the people to
be noncommittal but in these closing
days it becomes plain that it has been
a thinking campaign"
Now that the thought has been
cI'ystallized, it is clear to all that the
issue is republicanism versus demo-
cracy.
True, the republicans have been di-
vided in this particular campaign, but
to my mind, are so no longer. OF
those who think of voting for Roose-
Welt, not 10 per cent are third party
men. The overwhelming majority of
them count themselves republicans and
will be republicans after Nov. 5.
Personally, I am as strong for the
progressive republican movement as
ever, but | believe that the republican
party is the best and only agency of
the progressive movement.
The progressive republicans have
nothing TO expect from democracy. 1t
is the same old party now as ever.

+. DIED AFTER
BRAYEFIGHI
Succumbed at 2.45 This Morn
ing in Hospital y.
Was Chairman Of Republican
Central Committee
Death Comes as Shock to
People Of the State

After an illness Of less than ten days
in which a most valient fight was
made for life, George M. Gray of
Kenn1are, chairman Of the republican
state central committee, succumbed to
deaths call early this morning at 2:45
O'clock at the hospital. While the
chairman was in delirium much of the
time during his illness he regaincd
consciousness at the last and the end
came quietly, his life expiring during
peaceful sleep.
The cause of the death of the late
Mr.. Gray was an Intestinal obstruc-
tion followed by peritonitis. A week
ago last Monday evening he was taken
ill at his apartments at the Cole hotel
and it was thought to be only touch
of grip. The next day his condition
was much worse and he was removed
to the hospital where he could be
given every care. A consultation of
surgeons was held the following day
when an operation was determined
upon.
Mr.. Gray was not expected to sur
vive over Sunday but he fingered until
Tuesday when it was believed he had
taken a change for the better. For
the first time he was rational since his
operation and was able TO see members
of his family who hastened at once to
ms bedSlde. Yesterday MS conuluon
again seemed doubtful and hope was
not abandoned until a late hour last
night.
His Death Great Shock.
The demise Of the late chairman,
while not wholly unexpected owing to
his alarming condition for several days
past. comes as a great shock to the
people of the state nevertheless.
Everyone entertained hopes of his re-
covery and felt his life would be
spared.
During the last two months as state
chairman of the republican state CEN
trail committee, Mr.. Gray had been
under severe strain and had un-
doubtedly taxed his strength. In every
quarter partisanism has been forgot

sympathy for the bereaved widow and
daughters and in sorrow over the loss
of one of North Dakota's foremost men
