VICE PRESIDENT SHERMAN
is A VERY SICK MAN

UTICA, N. Y, Oct. 29.-vice Presi-
dent Sherman passed restful night.
DR.. Peck stated today that his patient
is in better condition but could not
say the critical danger point is past
or give any assurance what might
happen. However he felt some en-
couragement.
DR.. Peck authorized this statement:
Mr.. Sherman has been sick all this
year, due to the condition of his kid
neys, the hardening of arteries and
the softening of the muscles of the
heart, which are somewhat stretched.
Mr.. Sherman had an attack in the
Adirondacks and I expected him to
die. He improved until the latter part
of August. Since then his condition
aggravated and he has been steadily
falling"
For the last three weeks since he
came from Connecticut, where he vent
to rest, he has been dressed only once

FALSE INDICTMENT.

The Democrats have used every pos
sible means to induce the Taft peo-
pie throughout the country to support
Wilson.
The latest inducement thrown out
to the Taft voters is report that
if Wilson is elected president he will
make a place for Taft as chief JUS
tice of the supreme court. This may
sound good at first thought, but who
believes that even if Wilson should be
elected president that he would ap-
point Taft to that position? No Re
publican believes for a moment that
he could or would do such thing.
This is just move on the part OF
the Democrats TO secure Republican
votes and every Republican knows
that it is thrown out as bait TO catch
those who may fear that Taft will
not be elected president. The Repub-
licans feel that Taft has a good u
chance to be elected as has any other
candidate and they will vote for him
to the last.
They know too that to desert the
Republican party for Wilson means to
throw the Republican party down and
place 1t in third place, giving the Pr)-
gressive party second place and what
ever credit that rank may have in
the campaign of 1916. The Repub-
lieans understand too well what this
report is sent out for and it may be
assured that the Democrats will fall
down in making this little stunt eff
fective.

ALL PARTIES CLAIMING VIC.
TORY.

One week from today the people
will engage in one of the most inter-
esting elections since the Civil war.
In the campaign of 1860 there were
three major parties in the field and
no one, before the vote was counted,
could tell who would be elected.
For the first time since 1860 we
find three major parties in the Tield
and the result is as problematical.
Early in the campaign it was believed
by many that the Democratic party
would be elected, but as the campaign
advanced in time and interest 1t was
found that no party had decided ad-
vantage.
At this particular time all parties
are working in every state in the
union as they have never worke be-
fore. Even in the southland the DEM
ocrats are compelled to campaign for
the first time in many years in order
to prevent Roosevelt from getting a
foothold in that land where all, save
Democrats, are forbidden the privi-
lege to claim any particular suffrage
of the people.
Had the Democrats accepted any
other than the tariff as their leading
issue it is probable that the party
would have had an easy victory, but
a great majority of the people of this
country do not believe in free trade.
They do not want the balance in our
trade account to be in favor of Eu-
rope.

respaotitsisj bsiaa IN The sapth A.
iantie, east south eeatral and mountain
divisions.
In every geographic division ex-
cept the middle Atlantic the proper
tion of farms mortgaged was greater
in 1910 than in 1900, and in every di-
vision except the west north central
the proportion was greater in 1910 than
in 1890. The most conspicuous increase
in proportion of farms mortgaged has
been in the three south IN divisions.
In 1910 there was no very great diff
ference among the several geographic
divisions with respect to the ratio of
Indebtedness to the value of land and
buildings, the highest ration being S4.5
per cent in the middle Atlantic divis-
ion and the lowest, 23.4 per cent, in
the Pacific division. In every division
the ratio of Indebtedness to value was
materially lower in 1910 than in 1890.

] At indianapolis last Wednesday w.
J. Bryan said:
1--WE are embarrassed in the discus
! sion Of national issues by the fact
/ that one of the presidential candidates
( has been made the victim of a muir
I derous assault.
1--WE deplore as deeply as Mr. Roose-
J velt's supporters the act of mad
man who has temporarily disabled him
| for campaign work. We denounce as
bitterly as Mr. Roosevelt's supporters
( such a resort to violence even by one
, who is bereft of his reason. We SYM
| pathize with Mr.. Roosevelt in his af
| Fiction as sincerely as his supporters
| do, and we wish as earnestly as they
| for his speedy recovery. But neither
| he nor they will ask for suspension
! of activity on the part of Mr.. Roose-
velts opponents as long as his friends
| continue to present his side on ma
tional questions.
! "The question before the country
must not be decided by the insane.
maniac cannot be an arbitrator m
such a crisis. I am surprised that
the friends of Mr.. Roosevelt should
attempt to make use of this incident
to the Democratic party; it cannot
| be charged to any party.
| "The suggestion that the assailant
| was led to make the attack because
! of newspaper criticism is far fetched
! and if it could be shown that an uu-
| balanced mind was influenced by crit
| icism, it is no more just to demand
| suspension of the discussion of the
| pending problems on this account than
1 il would be to reject religion because
some have gone insane on that sub
| iect.
II have been a careful reader Of
quite sure that Taft papers have been
no more bitter in their assaults upon
Mr. Roosevelt than the Roosevelt pa
pers have been in their assaults upon
Mr. Taft. And neither side has at
| tackled the other with more virulence
! than both have attacked the Democrats
in past campaigns.
"A nation sits expectant by the eX-
/ presidents bedside hoping that the
wound is not serious. But Mr. Roose
velts supporters must not use this at
tack to protect themselves and their
position from just criticism. The brave
: soldiers on a battlefield do not use the
wounded for breastworks. They stand
out and give blow for blow.
And so in this campaign Mr.. Roose-
velt's supporters cannot use him as
! a shield to protect themselves against
the attacks that may be made against
the policies for which they stand"
