SULZER HOURS LATE
ON SCHEDULED TRIP
Storm and General Electric
Company Combine to Throw
Itinerary Out of Gear.
HOLDS MIDNIGHT MEETING
Democratic Candidate Insists
He Isn't "Bossed," and De-
clares Republicans and
Progressives Are.

F'rom STAFF Correspondent Of The Tribune
Albany, Oct. A.-Albany waited in line
along her sidewalks and in her largest
hall for two hours tonight to catch a
glimpse OF the Democratic candidate for
Governor, William Sulzer. Before AL
bany, Cohoes and Watervliet had waited,
and Schenectady ended a day OF waiting
with midnight meeting.
Two things were largely responsible for
the delay-rain and the refusal OF the
General Electric Company to give its
1900 employees an extra half hour at noon
to near the candidate. Mr.. Sulzer had
planned to abandon his special train at
Schenectady at noon and motor through
the cities mentioned. After the ultimatum
Of the electric company, Schenectady
clamored for a night meeting, upsetting
the whole arrangement.
Half the afternoon was wasted in argu-
ment over the itinerary, and Cohoes did
not see the candidate until after o'clock.
Returning to Albany at o'clock Mr.
Sulzer took dinner, and arrived at Har-
rnanus Blocker Hall at 800 o'clock, es-
corted by half a dozen bands and over
one thousand silk hated paraders.
Governor Dix presided at the meeting,
and 5000 persons cheered the candidate
as he stepped to the front Of the stage
with his emphatic prophecy that Wood
row Wilson would be the next President.
On the subject Of his own independence"
he said
My opponents speak we'll Of me, and
that is gratifying. But they say day In

Stands BY Tariff Board.

1 am MN brl i'm a tariff board or
tariff commission. 40 not contend that
mat tariff can be a. ken out Ct politics IN
The sense that II will never be made the
subject OF political controversy. Men diff
fer radically as to the economical wisdom
OF a protective tariff or a tarif for reVe-
nue. only, and that must always be the
subject OF political discussion. But there
Is a means OF taking the entertainments
OF facts away from a tribunal like the
Nays and Means Committee, which is
necessarily hurried in its conclusions and
necessarily lacking in the thoroughness
and temper which are essential TO reach
impartial conclusions
Probably no Industries affected by the
tariff need scientific and impartial con-
illusions more than those which are rep
resented in your convention. In my mes
cage Of August II last, returning to the
Congress without my approval the bill

Other Parties "Bossed."

II is ludicrous for q Moosite 10 talk
about bosslsm when the very embodiment
OF the whole movement is founded upon
the dictatorship OF single individual.
Just stop TO consider how ridiculous IL is
for my friend, Job Hedges, to talk about
bosSism In the Democratic party, when
everybody knows the trouble with the Re-
publican party I'm the State of New York
Is that Il is shackled 10 the dictatorship
OF one Of the greatest bosses in American
public life, your fellow tovnsman, Will
lam Barnes, jr.
Let Mr.. Hedges stop talking about me
long enough to declare his independence
OF Boss Barnes, whose creature he will
be II by any possibility he should be
elected Governor.
The meetings at Cohoes and Watervliet
In spite OF their hardness, were among
the most enthusiastic at which the can
didate has spoken. a thousand persons
crowded the Majestic Theatre at the first
place. and at the second 1900 heard him
talk from the balcony OF the Collins
House. "Packey" McCabe. Democratic
leader OF the county, and Daniel ].
Dugan, state committeeman, rode in the
automobile with him on this detour.
The day began at o'clock this morn
ing at Herkimer, the home Of Colonel
Rooseyelt's brother-in-law, Douglas Rob-
inson. This turned the candidates
thoughts 10 the opponent OF his national
leader. for soon after his train pulled out
OF the station he dictated the following
letter 10 the colonel, with orders that II
be sent at the earliest possible moment:
lust a line TO say I'm glad you are
home and getting better. Take good care
OF yourself No word Of mine will give
you additional pain during the campaign.

Took Hold in Cuba.

Another instance Of his ability as an
executive and diplomat came with the
second insurrection In Cuba. He jour
neyed to that island in 1906 and hardly
had he reached its shores when internal
affairs took q change for the better. In
a comparatively short time peace had
been restored among the warning fac
tions.
In June, 1905, he was nominated for
President by the Republican National
Convention at Chicago. and in the fol-
lowing November he was elected to the
Presidency by a considerable majority.
Up to this time there had been moth
ing in Mr.. Taft's career that had ELECTED
anything but boundleSs praise. He had
teen a faithful and eficient servant Of
his country at home and abroad,
Throughout the world he had made many
friends for the United States by his
frankness and liberality, and his coun-

they were read by the rest of the family.
When il was definitely known that the
President had received a majority OF
the convention vote, Charley appeared
with a countenance that was all grin.
The President yesterday seemed abso-
lutely content with his role Of sitting
tight with the telephone and telegraph
wires to keep him informed OF the prog
ress Of events in Chicago. His afternoon
OF golf was followed by dinner with his
family, and an evening in his study, in

James Schoolcraft Sherman. Vice Pres
ident OF the Unitei States, was born In
Utica. N. Y, October, "A. 1856. and Is the
son Of Richard Hugh and Mary Frances
Sherman. He was graduated from Ham
ilton College in ISIS. In 1903 his alma
mater conferred on him the degree Of
doctor OF laws.
After completing his college course,
Mr.. Sherman took up the study Of law,
and was admitted to the bar IN 1880. He
forthwith commenced the active practice
Of his profession. and continued II with
only such Interruptions as his public du-
ties involved.
In early manhood he manifested q
strong interest in public affairs and poll
tics. and as a rising young lawyer began
TO devote much OF his spare time to ac-
tive political work. His abilities were
soon recognized, his services as a cam
paign speaker were in great demand, and
his counsels on party policy were sought
and needed. In 1884, at the age Of TWEEN
ty-nine, he was elected mayor Of his na-
tive city.
Many Years Public Service.
From that time he has been engaged
almost continuously in public service.
He served as a member Of Congress
from the Twenty-thIrd New York Dis
trict from 1888 to 1905. and from the
Twenty-seventh District from 1903 until
his election TO the Vice Presidency In
1905. His service in the House covered a
period Of nearly twenty years.
On many occasions Sherman was
tempted by offers OF appointment to ad-
ministrative office to retire from Con-
gress, but on each OF these occasions his
constituents rose up and demanded that

ington.
Three times Mr.. Sherman was called
10 preside over conventions Of the Re-
publican party Of New York. He was
chairman OF the State convention In 1895
and again in 1900, and was chairman OF
the spring State convention in 1903
In 1906 Mr.. Sherman was elected chair
man OF the Republican Congressional
Committee, and II was as a manager Of
the committee IN that year that he earn
ed the title Of Dollar Jim" A lot had

Mr.. Sherman Is interested in a num-

president OF the Utica Trust and De-

New Hartford Tanning Company.
Through his efforts and ability he has

Has Business Interests.
Mr.. Sherman is a man OF sturdy build
and sanguine temperament, and sug-
gests an immense capacity for enthusi-
asm and hard work. Though inclined to
stoutness he is quick, active, and ener-
getic. As with Mr.. Taft, good nature
is one Of his striking characteristics. Mr..
Sherman was one OF the most popular
members Of Congress, and he has lost
none Of his popularity while presiding

Nd AIwnys Independent.

Taft. always independent, greeted the
raise as a recognition of his talent, and,
although he was in no way in need of
financial aid, he was highly elated. The
new Job brought to him duties that held
him to a rigid regimen. Despite these du-
ties, however he still pursued the law,
taking a course at the Cincinnati Law
School, where Champ Clark and many
other prominent men received their
sheepskins. He was graduated in 1850,
dividing first honorS with another stu
dent, and was admitted to the bar soon
afterward.
That big Bill Taft's physical powers
were in no way impaired by his studious
pursuits is evidenced by an incident that
took place at about this stage of his
career. His father. Judge Alphonso
Taft, was the defeated candidate for the
governorship Of Ohio. and had been al
most scandalously slandered by a Gin
cinnati newspaper. owned by a man
named Rose.
Rose had the reputation of running a
blackmailing sheet. deriving his chief
income from blood money extracted from
his victims. According to the chronicles
Of the time he was an ex-prize fighter,
a bully and the associate of rowdies,
who was in the habit Of pacing Cincin-
natl thoroughfares accompanied by a
band Of roughs on whom he could de-
pend for both protection and assault
Big Bill" Taft, stirred to the verge
Of frenzy by the attacks upon his IA
Tiers character, decided to put an end
to the cabals. But instead Of having re-
course to the processes of the law, he
cast aside his judicial training and
marched into the sanctum Of Editor
Rose with fire in his eye.
