FEAR DEATH WILL COST VOTES
Uncertainty as to Mr.. Shermans Sue
cessOr Worries MANY.

It is conceded on all sides in Wash
ington tnat the successor to Vice
President Sherman as the candidate
on the Republican ticket will be
named only after conferences with
President Taft and that no man will
be selected by the Republican National
Committee who is not entirely accept
able TO the President.
There is renewed talk today of
Henry l.. Stimson, Secretary Of War.
President Taft would have been
pleased If the New York State con-
vention had named Mr.. StimsoD for
Governor. He was not displessed but
gratifed by the nomination of Jop
Hedges. but he had expressed the
opinion that Secretary Stimson was
excellent material for the job. The re
is a feeling that the nomination should
go to the State of New York, which
had supplied Mr.. Sherman.
Senator Root has been mentioned,
but would probably decline to permit
his name 10 be used in view of the
Fact that he has already accepted a
commission at the hands of the people
of New York which will run beyond
the 4th of March.
Senator Lodges name has met
with much favor, but he was but re.
Gently reelected to the Senate and
could hardly be asked to stand for the
Vice Presidency under the cireum-
stancea John Hays Hammond comes
to the minds of many persons in
Washington. 1t has been Mr.. Ham
mond's ambition to be Vice-President
and be sought the nomination the
first time President Taft was nami-
mated
A question has been raised but will
probably never be formally pressed
as to whether the Republican Ma
tional Committee was given a power
in the resolution adopted by the Chi
ago convention to supply vacancies
occurring on the ticket that extended
beyond the election day.
Will there be ticket" after next
Tuesday? That is the question stir
ring the minds of some of the Rspub-
lican leaders. These men believe
that the matter of filling vacancies
will be in the hands of the Taft cleo
tors after ele ction.
There is some muttering over the
fact that the National Committee is
to be called in after election, be-
cause to some Republicans who sup
ported Roosevelt before the Chicago
convention but who refused to follow
him out of the party the work of the
National Committee at Chicago on the
contested delegates cases is still a
painful subject.
To such Republicans the suggestion
that the National Committee is to
name Vice-President after the cleo
tion may come as an affront. IL is
feared in some quarters that votes
may be driven away from President
Taft by the announcement that the
Republican National Committee is to
fill Mr.. Sherman's place On the
ticket.
If President Taft is defeated next
Tuesday for re-electiol he will not be
very particular, il is believed IN the
political circle qualified to speak for
him, as to the man the party leaders
may select to be complimented with
the vote of the Republican electors.
1t is more than likely that the honor
will be bestowed to compliment some
leading Republican to whom the party
owes something.
