SHERMAN A FAV0RlTE
Like Taft, Especially Fitted for
Place on Ticket.

When James Schoocrafr Sherman YES
nominated for tho Vice Presdencv four
years ago the Chicago convention vas in.
| lueuced largely by the opinions OF his re
publican colleagues IN Congress. They
were convinced that no man talked ot for
second place on the ticket possessed m
greater measure the qualifications ~
ability, training and experience both lo~

duties Of the Vice. Presidency.
As in Mr. Tafts case, hts companion on
the ticket was peculiarly fitted by his publ
career for the place for which he w2
named. And the history Of the Taft-Sher
man administration has justified r.
choice Nj Sherman was widely known a.
4 national figure, having been a Representa-
tive I'm Congress for nearly q score ~
years, serving on important committee
and representing the Republican party on
many notable occasions. An eloquent
speaker, a master Of parliamentary tao
tics, an able and aggressive campaign man

banker, a. well as a lawyer, I'm the prime
Of life and q popular man with hosts Of

the Utica schools and went 10 Hamilton

and was graduated as a Bachelor Of Arts
In 1875 the same year that President TAFT
was graduated from Yale. He decided On
the same profession, the law. and was ac-
mitted to the bar In 1850. lie entered o.
once on the practice Of his proless0. a.

an interest I'm public affairs. He was soon
made president Of the Utica Trust and D..
posit Company, d post he still! RETAINS
From speaking IN campaigns he developer
a desire for public life, and in 49, was
chairman Of the oneida County RepGbh-
can Committee. In 1854, when only twenty
line years old, he was elected Mayor 81
his native city. After holding This pcs
two years he accepted "A nomination .or
Congress in the 23d New York District, ard
was elected and reelected, serving from
1887 to 1891. For one term he was then

from the 18th District, and by successive
reflections represented 1t tor ten years

On Federal Bench.

President Harrison offered Mr.. Taft the
cult in 1892, and as the work Of a Judge
was more congenial to him than that of an
advocate he accepted the appointment and
left Washington for Cincinnati. While on
the bench in 1896 he was made dean and a
professor in the law department of the Uni
vcrslty OF Cincinnati, Of which he was an
aumnuS. and held that relation for four
years.
In 1900 President Mckinley made hin
chairman OF the second commission 10 the
Philippines. The purpose for which the
commission was appointed was for organ
izlng and establishing civil government al

the work proceeded promptly after Judge
Taft and his associates reached Manila. \

Republican Administration.

We challenge successful criticism OF
the sixteen years OF Republican ad &.
ministration under Presidents M'kIN.
LEY, ROOSEVELT and TAFT. We
heartily rssffirm the Endorsement Of
President M'KINLEY contained in the
platform Of 1900 and Of 1904, and that
OF President ROOSEVELT, contained
in the platform Of 1904 and 1908
We invite the intelligent judgment
Of the American people upon tho ad p
rninistration OF WILLIAM n. TAFT.
The country has prospered and been
at peace under his Presidency.
During the years in which he had
the cooperation Of Republican Con-
gress an uneNampled amount OF con-
structive legislation was framed and
passed In the interest OF the people and
in obedience to their wish. That legls-
lation is record on which any admin
istratlon might appeal with confidence
to the favorable Judgment of history.
We appeal TO the American electo-
rate upon tho record Of the Republi-
can party, and upon this declaration
Of it's principles and purposes. We are
confident that under the leadership OF
the candidates here to be nominated
our appeal will not be in vain; that
the Republican party will meet every
just expectation of the people, whose
servant It IS; that under it's admins
tration and its laws our nation will
continue to advance; that peace and
prosperity will abide with the people,
and that new glory will be added 10

received much Just praise and has encoun-
tered not a little antagonsm Through

Nor must his prompt action in the Mex
lean crisis be forgotten. whereby American

protected without violation or neutrality.
Mr. Taft was born in Cincinnati in
1851, son OF Attorney General AlphOnso
4 Taft. At Yale, where he was graduated
I'm 1875, no was second IN his class Of 10
members. Returning TO his homo, he en-
tered the Cincinnati Law School, where
he completed the two vesrs' course IN
