A LONG POLITICAL CAREER.

James Schoolcraft Sherman was
born in Utica, N. Y, on October "a,
1855.
His parents were of English descent,
his father establishing the Utica
Morning Herald and becoming a
prominent Journalist.
He attended the Utica public schools
and was graduated from Hamilton
College in 1873. He practiced law UNI
til 1907.
Although his father was a Dem
ocrat, James S. Sherman became a
Republican at the age of %. He be-
came mayor of Utica when 20 years
old He entered Congress in 1887 and
served continuously, with one years
exception, until he ran for Vice-Presh
dent with Taft
Was the only Vice-President to re-
,ceive denomination.
Shortly after entering Congress he
was recognized as one of the really
influential men in the national legisla-
ture. He was one of the most popular
men in Washington.
He could have held many important
federal positions, but he always pre-
ferred to remain in Congress.
His family took prominent part in
the social life of Utica. He was a
member of the Dutch Reformed
Church and belonged to many clubs.
Baseball was his great hobby and he
would go out of his way to see a
game.
The death of Vice-President Sher-
man will have no effect on the cleo
ton. The Taft electors in case of a
Taft victory will choose a Vice-Presi-
dent.

He had not been there "a hours
when he was violently attacked and
as soon as he could be moved he re-.
turned to his home in this city. Here
an immediate improvement was noted
and the family and friends were much
encouraged. Not until the latter part
of August did he enter upon con-
tinuing decline and since that time
the downward trend had been rapid
and steady.
DR.. Polk attributes the change last
August to the rashness of his patient
in persisting in making a set speech
in response to the official notification
of his second nomination for the Vice
Presidency, which took place in this
city in that month. Standing in the
hot sun he then spoke for half an
hour. The speech was delivered with
much feryor which, it soon developed,
had been impaired at the expense of
vitality.
The bad conditions which followed
Immediately could not be shaken on.
Each day was worse than the preced-
ing. When, some two weeks since,
the time came to register for next
Tuesdays vote, the .Vice-President's
physician forbade his patient to leave
the house for that purpose. This pro-
test was disregarded, with the result
that the fatal malady was greatly ag-
gravated.
All the remedies known to physical
science were used, but none of them
gave more than temporary relief. So
long as he remained rational he was
what the physicians call "a good
patient" but when delirious he resisted
the application of all remedies.

PRESIDENT
SHERMAN DEAD
End Comes After Long Suffering
With Uraemic Poisoning.
SPEECH STARTS SETBACK.
Extraordinary Demand Upon Vice
Presidents Strength on Day of
Notification the Final Blow, Al
though 1t Was Discovered In 1908
That He Had Kidney Difficulty.

Utica-After a long illness Vice
President James Schoolcraft Sherman
died at his home, in this city, at 9.42
o'clock Wednesday night of uremic
poison, caused by Bright's disease.
He had been sinking since early
morning, and it was realized that
death was question only Of a few
hours.
There was slight relief shortly af-
ter o'clock, caused by an apparent
improvement in the condition of the
kidneys, but it did not prove real or
lasting and at best gave only temper
airy hope.
At 9 o'clock the patients tempera
ture rose to 106. From that time his
condition rapidly passed from bad to
worse until the end. Mr.. Sherman
was unconscious when the end came,
and had been in that condition for
hours.
All the members of the immediate
family were witnesses to the final
scene.
Soon after Mr. Sherman's death DR..
Fayette H. Peck, the attending physi-
clan, issued the following statement:
"The Vice-President died at 9.42
P. NJ, without regaining conscious
ness for moment. He was perfect
ly quiet. He died in the presence of
his wife, her brother and sister, his
=tWoA brothers and his three@sons and
their wives. He had been entirely un-
conscious since O'Clock, when he had
period of partial consciousness last
ing for about Is minutes. He died in
uraemic coma as a result of
Bright's, disease, heart disease and
observation-disclosures =
The first discovery that Mr.. Sher-
mans kidneys were affected was made
at the beginning of the national cam
paign in 1908. At that time he was
suffering from gallstones and his
physician informed him that one of
the kidneys had become diseased and
advised moderation in work and diet
The advice was followed in the latter
but not in the former respect. Mr..
Sherman became most abstemious in
eating, taking nothing but the simplest
foods, but he persisted in giving the
closest personal attention to his Off
cial duties as well as to his extensive
business interests. So completely did
he keep himself occupied that DR..
Peck found in this fact the principal
reason for the Vice-President's break
down.
Apparently Mr.. Sherman did not
weaken under this strain until last
spring. Required by the tense par
liamentary situation in the Senate to
be constantly in his seat during the
recent session of Congress, he began
to fail in March. A merical examina-
ton then revealed Bright's disease in
an advanced form and he was advised
to suspend all labors and devote him
self to an effort to counterfeit the
Favages of the disorder by building up
his physical system as whole.
Big Moose, in the Adirondacks, was
chosen as the place Of resort because
of its seclusion and. to that point the
Vice=President went in June, yielding
the senatorial gavel most reluctantly.
The change came too late, however.
Already the heart had become involv-
ed and the Big Moose altitude OF
1000 feet came near causing death.
