TAFT IS GAINING IN IOWA
GOV. GARsT AND GOV. LARRA6EE
ARE FOR PRESIDENT.
State Ticket Believed to be Safely
Republican by From $4,000
to $4,000

De5 Moines, Oct. 3O.-That republi.
cans are getting together in Iowa at
the final wind-up of the campaign is
evidenced by political developments
of the past week. Governor Warren
Garst, one of the staunch progress
siyeS of the state and leader of many
a progressive battle. has come out in
a speech at Webster City for Taft
and the entire republican ticket. And
he believes the ticket from top to
bottom will win November 9Th. For.
mer Governor William Larrabee, low
led by all Iowa because of the fact
that he is father of progressiveism in
the state. from his quiet home at
Glerinoirt, fHayette county, sends out
the word that republicans should
stand by Taft and the state ticket. All
Iowa has been anxious about Cover
nor Larrabee since it was announced
a few weeks ago that he was serious
ly Ill. The past week he has been
well enough to discuss politics and
he says Taft has made a good presi-
dent and should receive the support of
every republican.
Another encouraging feature of the
past week for republicans is the re-
port that many democratic farmers
will vote for Taft. They cannot agree
with Roosevelt in his revolutionary
platform and they are afraid in these
prosperous times to risk free trade.
And so many of them will quietly sup
port the president
Although there are some differences
of opinion in the polls and straw votes
as to the outcome on president, there
is no doubt about the republican
state ticket winning with ease.
Clark's plurality is now estimated at
3d. 900 to 10000

VICE PRESIDENT
IS RESTING EASY
BUT VITALITY LESSENING AND
CONDITION PREcARlous.
FAMILY PREPARED FOR DEATH
Uraemic Poison Has Laid a Deadly
Hold on~James S. Sherman, and
His Condition is Now Con-
sidered Hopeless.

Utica, N. Y, Oct. 30.-Special: Vice
president Sherman lapsed into a con.
dition of coma this afternoon and his
death may occur at any moment. This
was announced from the bedside of
the stricken man, stating his condi.
ton as desperate. The last hope that
the vice-president might live was
shattered when the involved condition
of his kidneys failed to respond to
treatment, and it was announced
,ureanic poison had laid deadly hold
on the patient. Hyperdermic medi-
cine has been applied throughout the
day to ease the vice-president's suf.
ferings and this together with the 9TH
'er applications has produced a state
'of complete Inconsistencies. Mr..
Sherman may survive this afternoon.
DR.. Pent has just issued this bulletin:
"Vice President Sherman is very low
and may live "a hours. He has been
unconscious most of the time since
yesterday afternoon. He went to
sleep about two o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon and has been practically in
comotose state ever since"
Vitality Slowly Lessenine.
Utica, N. Y, Oct. 3O.-No improve
ment Is noted in the condition of Vice
President Sherman, who lies at the
point of death here.
Under the influence of quieting
medicines he slumbers a great part
of the time. His vitality is slowly
lessening, however, and he cannot
much longer continue his losing fight
against death.
DR.. Fayette II. Peck, his personal
physician, revealed that Mr.. Sher-
mans struggle for life is practically a
hopeless one. The phase of the vice
presidents illness that makes his con.
dition extremely critical is the failure
of the kidneys to perform their func-
tons and uraemic poisoning has laid
deadly hold on him. DR.. Peck consid.
ers it very doubtful that the kidneys
will respond to remedial measures.
In which case death will probably en-
sue within forty-eight hours.
In order that the vice-president may
be spared suffering, and that his al
ready greatly weakened heart shall
not be further strained, his doctors
have resorted to hypodermic medica-
lion. which induces sleep.
In discussing Mr. Sherman's condi-
ton, DR.. Peck made the following
statement:
Mr.. Sherman heart action is fair.
but the complications from his kid
neys make his condition extremely
critical, because there is grave doubt
If the kidneys will respond to RENE
