the republican denomination for vice
president, James Schoolcraft Sherman
this afternoon In part said:
You bear the commission of the
convention which me- In Chicago In
June. That convention declared anew
our fidelity to the historic republican
party, our purpose to carry forward
the work II has so we'll done and to
promise further the prosperity, the
progress of the United States. The
annals of American parties do not re.
cord the proceedings of a political
gathering conducted with more open
ness fairness, elaboration, sobriety
and worthy purpose than that for
which you speak.
Not deceived by the clamor of
those who attempted to bolster up
claims without basis by hundreds Of
contests resting on a foundation so
fiimsy that in the light of investiga-
ton most of them melted away like
snow in the furnace heat and were
rejected by quite or nearly unanimous
vote, the convention adopted plat
form that rings true for patriotism
and constitutional government and
worthily bestowed a denomination on
our present chief executive.
you gentlemen notify me that the
convention named me as the party's
candidate for vic. president. Our
party has never before conferred a
second nomination for that office upon
any man. Fortunate are we republi-
cans that our opponents are divided
into two camps. rivaling each other
in their efforts to excel in distributing
civic and economic disorder In the
country.

times defeated the republican party
in August, but only twice has it done

candidate, Mr.. Wilson, Is Bryan and

of the other, but the free trade preju-

Sherman then quoted at length
from Wilson's history of the United
tot CHI hn
tude on the immigration question
and his alleged declaration that Chi
nese were preferable to some Euro
'pean immigrants. Turning to the
Bull Moose movement, Sherman said:
The country witnessed a conven-
ton held in Chicago two weeks ago
since. in which there was no roll call
'of delegates; no ballots cast; In
which red bandanas were preferred
to the stars and stripes: where the
scene was scarlet. much like the flag
OF anarchy. The unquestiOned master
of the situation was greeted by his
satellites as an inspired leader and
the irrelevance which fell from many
lips showed itself in the chairman.
Its right to rule was recognized and
proclaimed.
They abuse the PayneAldrich tar
III law without stint and without
reason. The tariff act has closed no
factory; has put out the fire in no
furnace; has thrown no mechanic or
laborer out OF employment. 1t has
kept wide open the home markets
for the product of the farm and the

ing the highest wage ever known,
have been enabled to build new

no bread lines. Wherein can the

In his vetoes of these recent tarifi
