Carrying Out Every Pledge
In Mia Party's
Platform.
OoTernor Shallenbsrger was eUeUd
upon the strongest progressI UU
form ever offered to the people of
Nebraska. It promised to reform the
tax laws and pay the floating debt
which had always hung over the state
treasury. His administration was la
office only two years, but that was
i
ASHTON C. SHALLENBERGER
Democratic Candidate for United
Statea Senator.
long enough for him to sign bills car
rylng out every pledge made In his
party's platform, and these promises
are all living laws today.
The Guaranty of Deposits law has
a great fund collected and ready to
protect depositors, should a bank fail.
The fund will grow in strength as the
years go on.
The people are going to choose their
own United States Senator, because
Shallenberger signed the bill that
gives them the privilege.
The state was out of debt when
Shallenberger went out of office, and
the state institutions were carried on
at a vastly less expense to the tax
payers than the cost of the sume In
stitutions since he went out of office.
No governor in the history of the
country ever surpassed the splendid
record of great progressive laws se
cured in a single term than was made
by Governor A. C. Shallenberger dur
ing the two years the people trusted
him.
Shallenberger now asks Nebraska
to trust him to fight for her interests
for a term in the Senate of the United
States.
He made good as Governor. He
will make good still more strongly
us Senator, as he will have Governor
Wilson and a democratic congress to
help him.
Contrast the splendid record of
things actually accomplished during
the two short years of the Shallen
berger administration with the tea
barren years of Norrls' services In
Congress, and it is easy to understand
why Shallenberger is carrying every
thing before him In the present cam
paign. The people of Nebraska want
a man who gets results, and they
know that Shallenberger understands
their needs and knows how to do
what he starts out to perform for
them.
The farmers and laboring men, and
the business men, generally, know
that with Shallenberger in the Sen
ate, they will bo represented by a man
who will look effectively and faith
fully after every Interest of the state.
The Country Needs Wilson and
Wilson Needs Shallenberger In the
Senate to help him.
Nebraska needs Shallenberger In
the Senate.
Shallenberger's opponent talks
about reforms In Nebraska, but voted
lor Joe Cannon and the Pnyne-Aldrich
biH every time he had the opportunity
In Congress.
Shuilenberger put more reform laws
ihrough during his administration,
more laws vital to good government
and the interest of the people, than
were ever enacted during any other
period of the state's history. The
Hank Guaranty law; the Corporation
Tax law; the Physical Valuation of
railroads; Antl-trunt Discrimination
law; the Daylight Saloon law; Tax
laws were reformed; Taxes reduced,
and the state gotten out of debt for
the first time in its history.
Shallenberger made good as a Gov
ernor for two years, dive him six
years in the Senate with Wilson as
President and he will make good for
Nebraska and the nation in pushing
the great reform measures for which
both Wilson and Shallenberger stand.
Shallenberger Is a fighter. He knows
what the people need and he knows
how to fight for it and has been fight
ing for every progressive democratic
reform for twenty years.

END NOT UNEXPECTED,

LOSING GROUND MANY MONTHS
Examination by Doctors Shews
Presence of Uremic Poison.
Utlca, N. Y., Oct. 31. After a long
illness Vice President James School
craft Sherman died In his home in
this city last night at 9:42 o'clock of
uraemlc poison, caused by Iiright's
Jisease.
He had been sinking since early
morning and it was realized that death
was a question only of a few hours.
There was a slight relief shortly
ifter 7 o'clock, caused by an apparent
Improvement in the condition of tho
kidneys, but it did not prove real or
lasting and at best gave only tempo
rary hope.
At 9 o'clock tho patient's tempera
ture rose to 10G. From that time on
his condition rapidly passed from bad
to worse until the end. Mr. Sherman
wns unconscious when the end came
and hud been in that condition for
hours.
All the niwnbers of the immediate
family were witnesses to the final

Life of Sherman.
The twenty-seventh vice president
the United States and the only one
renominated, was christened James
School. 'raft Sherman. Dut, In nearly
a quarter of n century of public life
"Jim" Sherman lie was to his Inti
mates, and probably half the nation re
ferred to aim as "Sunny Jim," a
sobriquet earned by n never-falllns,
all-yw-r-roimd sunny disposition.

Sherman defeated and out of office,
but not for long. Harry W. Rentley
of Bonneville, Oneida county, beat
him by less than 1,000 votes In the
race for the Fifty-second congress. In
th interim Sherman went back to
Uticn, built up his law practice and rc
turned to th? Fifty-third congress with
a signal victory. He remained In the
house without defeat until the Six
tleth confess, when he was nominat
ed and elected vice president on the
ticket with Mr. Taft.
His first years in the house brought
him into close association with lead
era and In such an environment hf
worked to a high place in the councils
and finally was numbered one of the
big five !n the house.
Cannonr Dnlzell, Payne, Sherman
and Tnwney were the great quintet
during the comparatively recent years
In which congress was Republican
Each of them invariably wore a red
carnation for a boutonnlere and when
Sherman went to preside over the sen
ate and occupy the coveted morble
room In the other wing of the capltol
he too!; the custom with him, and al
ways appeared nt every session of the
I tipper house with a flower In the but
! ronhole of his coat.
Statutes Show His Work.
Any review of Sherman's life would
not be complete without a reference
to his work in the house. Briefly
there Is orded no time when he
moved galleries to applause by a da
bate from the floor or changed any
votes by eloquence. Rut the statutes
hear marks of his work In committee
and caucus, and the results of his la
bors on the rules committee, the In
tterstate commerce commission and
other branches of the machinery ol
the houHe, where the real legislating
la done, while speeches prevail on the
floor.
In New York politics Sherman was
a leading figure. He waa always actlv
In state conventions and a figure at all
national gatherings of the party.
Sherman went to preside over the
senate just about the tlmo when wTiat
Is known as senatorial dignity was be
ginning to feel Its first break. In the
chair Sherman was dignity Itself, fair
in his rulings, his colleagues said;
quiet, firm, sure and seldom reversed
on appeal.
But dignity so far as the tradition:
frock cent and silk hat were con
corned generally was absent. He re
garded his time presiding over the
senate us a day's business, to bo at
tended to as If he were sitting in his
bank in Uticn. or at the directors' table
of one of the many enterprl..j8 In
which he had found a fortune and laid
the foundations of another for his
sons, lie usually appeared in a busi
ness suit. On n hot day he came In
flannels and on a very hot day n palm
leaf fan displaced the gavel and per
haps n glass of lemonade topped off
Ine book of rules.
Fell In With Hit Ideas.
Other senators, reluctant perhaps
to transgress staid custom, fell In
with hli Ideas, and nowadays on a
blistering Washington summer duy
the senate looks lilu; quite a business
house.
Tho Illness which proved fatal wns
little known In Washington until tho
last few months. Sherman was not
present during the closing days of the
last session nnd tho senate without a
president pro tern, by the death ol
Frye, was unable to agree upon a suc
cessor got along by temporary agree
ments, placing wmio senator In the
chnlr for two weeks at n time.
Sherman l!l bn genuinely missed In
the capltol. It was nn occurrence ol
nn ordinary day with congress In ses

Pennsylvania avenue, often alone, rosy
cheeked and cheerful, returning thr
salutations of scores who knew him

liil!es Calls Natrona! Committee
tor Faceting In Chicago.
New York, Oct. 31. Chairman Hllles
of tho Republican national committee
ciiis morning announced that he hut
called a meeting of the national com
mittoc for Nov. 12 in Chicago to sclecl
a succi'sror to the late James S. Slier
man as the Republican candidate foi
vice president.
Mr. Hilles made the following state
ment:
The national convention which met
in Chicago In Juno delegates to th
national committee power to fill va
enndes on the national ticket. Th
death of Mr. Sherman, candidate ol
the Republican party for vice presl
dent nt the coming election, makes II
incumbent upon tho national commit
teo to nominate n candidate In hit
place. The nomination, however, can
not possibly be made prior to the elec
tlen next Tuesday.
"Such a nomination can properly b
mode only after due and oonsiderablt
notice to all the members of the com
mittee. Such notice cannot be givei
In less than elx days. It Is therefon
manifestly Impossible to hold such i
meeting prior to the election. Mean
time, no dlfflenlty or inconvenlenc
arises to the voters at the election
next Tuesday, because the votes to bt
cast are for electors and not for can
(lidates for either president or vic
president and the death of Mr. Sher
man therefore does not affect the vol
Idity of the election of the electors.'
Therefore, there will be no defect
In the ballots to he cast for the Repub
Ilcan candidates for presidential elect
rrs, even though they appear, as li
some states, under the names, "Taft
and Shonnan."

twenty minutes of cheering, Colone.
Roosevelt made a determined effort
to begin his speech, the Immense audi
