National Republican Committee Il
Name Another Candidate

New York, Oct. 31.-At National
Republican headquarters today men
bcrs Of the inner councils said Vic2-
President Sherman's successor on the
ticket would undoubtedly be man

lowing three names were mentioned:
Governor Hadley, OF Missouri.
Senator Borah, of Idaho.
Senator Cummins, of Iowa.
In case of deadlock in the electoral
college, it was explained, 'the cleo
ton would go to the House, and then
in the event of deadlock there, which
seems likely, it would go to the Sen-
ate. 1t would develope upon the Ser
ate to elect one of the vice-preslden-
tial candidates to the presidency. 1t IS
we'll known that the election in that
event wcQld turn upon the vols
of the progressive senator's, which
makes necessary the selection Of a
man of progressive tendencies as.
Sherman's successor"
The call for a special meeting of the
Republican national committee to be
held in Chicago on November II,
week after reelection to select sue
cessor to James c. Sherman as the
Republican candidate for Eice-Presl-
dent was telegraphed to all commit
teemen today. Chairman Hilles sa!o
in connection with the call.
"No difficult or inconvenience arises
to the voters at the election next
Tuesday, because the votes then to be
cast for electors, and not for ca"-
didates for either presiden: or vice
president, and the death of Mr. Sher-
man. therefore, does not affect the va
Iditv of the election Of the electors.

no trouble to anyone.
Although Bcker donned the prison

him. The lights never go out in the
death house, day and night they burn

demned are held, so that the two
keepers always on duty can closely

declared forfeited by the state.
