MAINE.

The Republican, Democratic and
Progressive parties early in the week
had their plans for the final days of
the campaign largely perfected, the
party leaders agreeing in the predict
ions that Names vote for President
would be a record breaker. Gov. Hi
ram Johnson the Progressive candi-
date for Vice President has been
the most prominent speaker to visit
Maine during the week, he having
been engaged to go as far east as
Bangor, his nearest stop in this Sec
ton of the State being Wateryille,
where he delivered an address Mon
day afternoon. The Governors visit
TO Maine was occasioned by Col
Rooseyelt's accident which prevented
him from keeping many speaking en-
gagements. The Progressives thus
far have been very active in speaking
campaigns.
The Republicans have held some
rallies, but for the coming week many
have been planned. The Democrats
have not conducted an active sp eak-
ing campaign Both parties have
been working to perfect their orGani-
zation to get out the vote on election
day.

V|CE-PRES. SHERMAN
IS DEAD
After a Long Sickness
Family Present
Death OF This 9th Vice President OF
the United States Occurred Last
Evening.

James S. Sherman, the 27th Vice
President of the Tn d States, after
long illness. di' his home in
Utica, y. Y. lst evening Of
uremic pois Bright's dis
ease.
He had been 3 ever since
early morning and it was realized that
death was a question of only few
hours. There was slight relief,
shortly after o'clock, caused by an
apparent improvement in the condi-
ton of the kidneys, but it did not
prove real or lasting and at best gave
only temporary hope At 9 o'clock
the temperature rose to 106. From
that time the condition rapidly passed
from bad to worse until the end. He
was unconscious when the end came
and had been in that condition for
hours with but slight change.
The immediate family were present
at the last.
The death of Vice President Sher-
man gives point to the serious discus
sion of the question of his successor.
There is no provision of law for filling
vacancy caused by the death or re.
tirement of a President, but Mr..
sherman was a candidate for re-elect-
ion, and the possibility of his death
prior to the election or prior to the
action to be taken by the electoral
college in January gave much CON
Germ.
