SHERMAN GIVES
PLEDGE TO PARTY
Declares Adhesion to Taft's
Principles and Roosevelt
Policies.
SCOFFS AT BRYAN'S SLOGAN
Candidate for Vice-President Noti
fied at Utlca Amid General Re
joicing Roosevelt Policies
Main Campaign Issue.
UTICA. N. T.. Aug-. 18. The Last
formal ceremony attending the official
launching of the Republican National
ticket of 190S was held here today.
Then Representative James School
craft Sherman was tendered and ac-
cepted the nomination of his party for
Vice-President.
In accepting, he subscribed heartily,
he declared, to the declaration of prin
ciples adopted at the Chicago conven
tion in June, to every utterance, of
Secretary Taft In his Cincinnati speech
and to the policies of President Roose
velt. Mr. Sherman asserted that the
approval of the Roosevelt administra
tion was, the real Issue of the cam
paign to be undertaken. Mr. Bryan's
question. "Shall the people rule?" was
declared to be no Issue at alL "Surely
the people shall rule," Mr. Sherman
said. "surely they have ruled;
surely they do rule. Shame on the
candidate who Insults the American
people by suggestion or declaration
that a majority of lta electorate Is
venal."
Sherman Is Protectionist.
Mr. Shermans speech was unusually
brief, and he did not attempt td discuss
any of the questions touched on by Mr.
Taft. saying he could not hope to per
suade any one not convinced by the Presl-
' denttal candidate's presentation of the
platforms and the issues. He did enter
Into a brief discussion of the tariff and
his declaration "I am a protectionist"
brought spontaneous response from his
hearers. The candidate then went on to
explain that he thought the time had ar
rived for a revision of t-ie tariff from the
protectionist point of view. Mr. Sherman
praised, the record of the Republican
party, and In contrasting It with the
Democratic organization referred to the
latter as "an aggregation of experimental
malcontents and- theorists whose only
claim to history Is a party name they
.pilfered."
Senator Julius C. Burrows, of Michigan,
of the notification committee, whose
members gathered here from the various
states of the Union, made the tender of
the nomination. In his speech he told of
what he declared was a thinly veiled ac
cusation of Mr. Bryan that a Republican
administration did not represent rule of
the people.
Root Praises His Neighbor.
Secretary of State Root, speaking
as a neighbor and lifelong friend
of the candidate, eulogtxed Mr. Sherman,
politics having no place. In hla brief but
eloquent address.
President W. M. Stryker, of Hamilton
College, from which Mr. Sherman was
frraduated, also paid a personal tribute
to the candidate, and there were ad
dresses of welcome to the visiting com
mitteemen and sightseers from Mayor
Thomas Wheeler and Chairman Charles
6. Symonds, of the local reception com
; mittee.
At the conclusion of the ceremonies Mr.
Sherman was presented with a magnifi
cent gold-lined silver loving cup, a gift
' from his colleagues in the National House
of Representatives. The cup stands near-
ly IS Inches high and Is mounted on a
. base of ebony. The Inscription reads:
"Presented to James S. Sherman by his
associates. August 18, 1906."
Greetings From Taft.
A large number of Congressmen were
at today's, exercises. The brief address
ef presentation was made by Represent
ative Sereno Payne, of New York. Mr.
Sherman also received a long telegram
nf felicitation from Mr. Taft. and the
a little less than two hours and were held
In the shade of the half -century-old elm
trees which surround the Sherman lawn
on Upper Genesee street.
Mr. Sherman, who was 111 for a time,
appeared today to be In vigorous health.
He will undertake a long campaign trip
through the West in October.
Parade and Concerts.
The ceremonies at the Sherman home
were preceded by band concerts In the
downtown squares, a parade of the city
fire department, a vice-Presidential sa
lute of 19 guns and a parade of the gaily
uniformed Conkllng Unconditional escort
ed the members of the notification com
mittee. Genesee street, from the railroad
tracks to the Sherman home and beyond
was lined with thousands of people. As
many as could get within seeing or hear
ing distance later in the day thronged
about the Sherman lawn.
The day broke clear and delightfully
cool. Incoming trains during the morn
ing brought throngs of visitors from the
middle and western sections of the state,
while the interurban trolleys from points
as far West as Syracuse were crowded
to the fullest capacity. Among the ar
rivals were National Chairman Frank H.
Hitchcock, who came from Chicago, ac
companied by several members of his
staff, and- State Chairman Timothy L.
Woodruff.
The last details of decoration at the
Sherman home were hurried forward this
morning. Flags were draped everywhere
about the rather picturesque old house,
and the temporary speaking -stand pro
jecting from the front porch was entirely
covered with bunting and flags.
The Conkllng Unconditional, a cam
paign marching club of some 300 mem
bers, headed by a band of 110 pieces,
gathered from several -near-by cities,
served as an escort to the members of
the notification committee, who. In auto
mobiles,' were driven from Baggs Square
to the Sherman home, a mile or more
from the starting place. ' The line of
march lay straight down Genesee street,
which from end to end was a mass of
waving colors. Even the unsightly old
bridge across the Erie Canal had been
turned Into a thing of beauty by flags
and bunting. On the suspended over
head girders of the bridge a big electric
sign of "Welcome" greeted the visitors.
Under Bryan Banner.
After passing the canal the notifica
tion committee had to drive directly be
neath a huge Bryan and Kern banner.
The Democrats of the city had offered
to remove the banner for the day, but
Mr. Sherman would not hear of It. Half
a block further up the street a huge
Sherman banner called out a cheer.
Rev. Oliver Kingsbury, of New Hart
ford. N. Y., Mr. Sherman's birthplace,
ffered the opening prayer. Mr. Burrows
then made the address of notification, In
which he said: '
Burrows Notifies Him.
It will be gratifying to you to know that
your selection -as not the result of a
sudden ImpulM, but the deliberate and
mature Judsment of that rreat convention
peaklnir for the RepubUcan party from
every state and territory. The members
of this committee coming from every rrt
of the couatry are able to convey to you
the gratifying assurance that your nomi
nation receives the hearty approval of the
constituency they represent, and the prom
ise of united and enthusiastic support at
the approaching" election.
The unanimity with which you were
nominated was a fitting tribute to you as
a man and a Just recognition of your long
and valuable services to the party and
the country. Repeatedly commanded by
the people of vour district to a seat In
the National House of Representatives,
where you have served with distinction for
nearly 20 years, participating In the de
liberations of that body and bearing a
conspicuous part in shaping the policy of
your party and the coun'ry you were re
garded as preeminently fitted tor the dis
charge of the important duties incident to
the office of Vice-President of the United
States.
Continuing. Senator Burrows answered
various criticisms of the Republican party
made by Mr. Bryan In his speech of ac
ceptance, defending the organisation on
the charge that It had defeated direct
election of Senators and throttled popu
lar government by "gag" rules In the
House of Representatives.
Secretary Root paid a personal tribute
to the candidate, saying:
Root's Opinion of ehermsn.
This occasion justifies general congratula
tion. The people of the Herkimer-Oneida dis
trict s re to be congratulated on the confirma
tion of the Judgment they have so long main
tained In the selection of their Representative
In Congress. Republican conventions have
been business bodies and the last convention's
act In nominating Mr. Sherman Is the slncer
est flattery. Mr. Sherman is to be congratu
lated upon the single expression of opinion and
feeling of the people of his home. There are
few things in this world worth so much as
the respect and esteem and affection of tha
community in which one has passed his life.
Money cannot buy this; scheming cannot
produce it; artifice cannot simulate It. It
answers to no call but that of character. It Is
the natural reaction of kindly human nature,
under the Influence of what the man really Is.
The country Is to be congratulated upon this
evidence that one of the men whom soon It
will have an opportunity to vote for at the
coming election, for the office of Vice-President,
to preside over the Senate and as heir
apparent to the Presidency. Is a rood and true
man. in whose hands the vast Interests of
American prosperity and peace and order and
liberty will not sutler.

worth than the esteem In which he Is heid at
home. What political partisans and political
enemies say about a man Is apt to be colored
by their partisanship or their enmity. The
praise of a campaign is a poor guide to a
Just opinion. What the newspapers say about
a man often reflects but a superficial Judg
ment, bawd upon those occasional striking
and spectacular acts which constitute news
rather than upon the inconspicuous, steady
and most useful labor and conduct that make
up the true record of life.
His Service In Congress.
The members of the Government for the
past 20 years know what Mr. Sherman has
done In the broad field of National legislation.
They know that with fidelity and painstaking
Industry he has done the country's work in
committee; thev know what modeet disregard
of personal display, thorough knowledge,
clearness of expression, force of mind and
character he has maintained on the floor of
the House; his views of what was best in
legislation, until the time has come when
every member listens with attention and re
spect because It is he who speaks. They know
that rare combination of quick perception,
Judgment and character gained through his
performances as chairman of the committee
of the whole, which has made him the best
parliamentarian of the House and a member
of the standing committee of seven which
directs the difficult and complicated enactment
of the rules necessary to enable the House
to do business.
But we know our friend and neighbor better
than the men at Washington, better than the
newspapers, 'better than the politicians. We
know the man himself through and through
by his living, by the multitude of little things
that In the long course of his makeup are a
record that cannot be untrue. We know the
stock he came from, sound and honest stock.
We knew his respected father. Some of us
go back to the knowledge of his grandfather.
We have followed the grandson through his
youth and manhood. We know that he has '
been a good husband, a good father and a
good neighbor. He has always been upright
In business, self-respecting.- Just, fair and
eonsloerate; that everybody In the1 community
trusts him and believes his word without any
bond. We know that no desire to make
money ever led him to do a mean or unfair
or unkind act, and that he never sought to
grow rich by making any one else poor. We
know that he is a true and tried friend and
that from all this region the weak and poor
have learned to go to him always to find him
sympathetic. We know he has always been
a good citizen and that he Is universally re
spected and beloved.
Would Make Good President.
We are competent to testify, not upon hear
say, but of Ttnowledge. and we do now testify
to our convictions everywhere to the people
of all distant states, that this is a man for
Americans to be proud of, to respect, to honor
and to love. We certify to all the electorate
that when their votes In November shall have
chosen James Schoolcraft Sherman to be Vice
President of the United States, the Senate
will be sure of a presiding officer In charac-er
and in competency worthy of the best tradi
tions of that great deliberative body and that,
if. which God forbid, the sad contingency
were to come that the Nation would for a
fourth time call a Vice-President from New
York to the Presidency, the Interests of the
Nation would be safe and the - great ofTtce
of President would suffer no decadence from
the high standard of dignity and honor and
competency of which we are so Justly proud.
It was 12:S o'clock when Mr. Sherman
rose to accept the nomination and he
was greeted by prolonged applause. Fre
quently during hta brief speech he was
Interrupted by hand-clapping and cheers,
the demonstration being renewed when
he concluded.
Sherman Accepts Honor.
Mr. Sherman, after formally accepting
the nomination and thanking the notifi
cation committee declared It an honor to
have his name linked with that of Will
lam H. Taft, whom he declared "excep
tionally well equipped to discharge the
dutl of President." He declared himself
in full accord, not only with the plat
form, but with Mr. Taft's apeech of ac
ceptance. He then reviewed briefly some
of the Issues of the campaign, saying In
part:
First, then, let me say that I am a
protectionist, because experience has dem
onstrated that the application of that prin
ciple has lifted us as a Nation to a plane
of prosperity above that occupied by any
other people.
I especially commend that plank of our
platform which promises an early revision
of farlff schedules. That pledge will be
fulfilled In an adjustment based In every
particular upon the broad principles of pro
tection for all American interests; alike, for
labor, for capital, for producers and con
sumers. The developments of Industrial
prosperity in a decade have so altered con
ditions that In certain details of schedules
they no longer in every particular mete
out Justice to all. In this readjustment the
principle of protection must and will gov
ern; such duties must and will be Imposed
as will equalize the cost of production at
home and abroad and Insure a reasonable
profit to all American Interests.
The Republican party believes in the
equality of all men before the law; be
lieves in granting labor s every request that
does not seek to accord rights to one man
denied to another. Fair-minded labor asks
no more, no less, and approves the record
of the Republican party because of that
party's acts.
I have helped to make my party's rec
ord In the enactment of the Eight-Hour
Law. the Employers' Liability Act. the
statutes to minimise the hazard of railroad
employes, the Child "Labor Law for the Dis
trict of Columbia, and other enactments de
signed especially to improve the conditions
of labor. I cannot hope to better state
my position on injunctions than by a speci
fic indorsement of Mr. Taft's Cincinnati
declaration on that subject. That Indorse
ment I make.
As a Nation our duty compels that by
- every constitutional and reasonable means
the material and educational condition of
the colored race be advanced.
He declared for maintenance of the
Army, upbuilding of the Navy, financial
aid in restoration of the merchant ma
rina, conservation of natural resources
and other measures advocated in the
platform.
Roosevelt Policies Main Issue.
Our platform, as It should do, pledges
i ... Mnn.tn,,a th. vnrk tnau
gurated during his administration, to insure
to persons and property every proper safe
guard and all necessary strengthening of
administrative methods will be provided to
furnish efficient Inspection and supervision,
and prompt righting of every injustice, dis
crimination and wrong. '
Shall the people rule?" 1s declared by
the Democratic platform and candidate to
be "the overshadowing Issue now under dis
cussion." It la no Issue. Surely the people
shall rule, surely the people have ruled;
surely the people do rule. No party rules.
The party, commissioned by the people, la
simply the Instrument to execute the peo
ple's will, and from that party which does
not obey their expressed will, or which lacks
the wisdom to lead successfully, the peo
ple will withdraw their commission.
The overshadowing issue of the cam
paign really is: Shall the administration
of President Roosevelt be approved; shall
a party of demonstrated capacity In ad
ministrative affairs be continued in power;
shall the reins of government be placed In
experienced hands, or do the people pre
fer to trust their destinies to an aggre
gation of experimental malcontents and
theorists, whose only claim to a history
is a party name they pilfered.
Hitchcock Gets Busy.
After the notification ceremonies Mr.
and Mrs. Sherman entertained the noti
fication committee and a few guests at
luncheon.
In the afternoon there was a carnival
of sports and music at Utlca Park. A
dinner by Mr. Sherman, band concerts
and electrical illuminations tonight will
bring th eday to a close.
Chairman Hitchcock met a number of
Republican leaders here and made ar
rangements to have them engage In the
speaking campaign. He received a letter
from ex-Secretary of the Treasury Leslie
M. Shaw, promising to make two or three
speeches in Vermont next week. Mr.
Shaw later will go to Maine for a few
speeches. Secretary Wilson, of the De
partment fo Agriculture, will also speak
In that state. Mr. Hitchcock left tonight.
Later on he will visit Maine.
TAFT SEXDS HIS REGRETS
Is Unable to Attend Sherman Noti
fication Ceremonies.
HOT SPRINGS. Va.. Aug. 18. Mr. Taft
has written his regrets at not being .able
to participate today In the Sherman noti
fication ceremonies at Utlca, N. Y. The
letter containing his sentiments on the
occasion was made public here today. It
reads:
"I greatly regret that I am not able to
be present at the interesting ceremonies
today when you are formally notified of
your nomination for Vice-President. It
must be full of pleasure for you to re
ceive from your neighbors and friends,
who have known you all your life long,
such an expression of confidence in your
character and admiration for your ability
and public service. I have read with the
greatest interest what you have had to
say with respect to campaign Issues and
I doubt not that they will be In accord
with the highest Ideals of the Republican
party."
FEARS MARYLAND VOTERS
Therefore Roosevelt Will Worry
Along With Bonaparte.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Aug. 17. The Bonaparte resig
nation rumor which made its appear
ance periodically last summer, and
once during the recent session of Cong
ress, is again in evidence. It has be
come the stock in trade of newspaper
writers, and it is now the rule to
write a Bonaparte resignation story
when there Is "nothing doing." Bona
parte le selected from among thevarl
ous cablneti officers because his rela
tions with the President are perhaps
less intimate than those of any of his
associates, and he, more than any other
cabinet officer, has, at times, aroused
the President's Ire by various acts.
As a mater of fact there is good
ground for believing that if this were
not a presidential year, Mr. Bonaparte
would tender his resignation, and not
tender it voluntarily, either. But the
administration wants to carry Mary
land and Bonaparte is a big factor in
that state, and it would be Impolitic to
have a break with him when the Fall
campaign Is approaching.
Having served this long, Bonaparte
will probably continue inthe cabinet
until March 4. There is nothing a new
man could accomplish between the
middle of November and March 4;
therefore no particular justification for
making a change for so short a time.

RAP FOR CONGRESS
Bryan Accuses Lawmakers of
Neglecting Banks.
LAWS MUST BE CHANGED
New Currency Bill Ignores Oklaho
ma Act Guaranteeing Deposits.
Xational Banks of That State
' Are Forced to Reorganize.
LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 18. Availing him
self of the cool weather, William J. Bryan
today, in anticipation of his ten days'
trip, which begins Thursday night, devot
ed a large portion of the day In hasten
ing work on the speeches which he is pre
paring for delivery at Indianapolis, To
peka, and - elsewhere. The Indianapolis
speech, which will be devoted to the
trusts Is in type, and Mr. Bryan spent
some time revising It. It Is expected to
be ready for distribution to the press as
sociations tomorrow.
The liquidation and surrender of the
charter of' the Enid- (Okla.) National
Bank, and its reorganization under the
state ' law, which provides for guaranty
of deposits, furnished an opportunity for
the Democratic candidate to criticize
the Republican leaders of Congress for
not enacting legislation making it possi
ble for National banks in Oklahoma to
operate under the state laws.
Discusses Banking Muddle.
"I don't know, of course, to what extent
the National banks will surrender their
charters," said Mr. Bryen. Fifty-four
National banks In Oklahoma took advan
tage of the guaranty system and they
have found It very profitable, for they
have Increased their' deposits, while the
unsecured banks have lost In deposits.
"Under the ruling of Attorney-General
Bonaparte they will have to choose now
between remaining National banks or se
curing the business through the guaranty
system. They will either have to sur
render their charters or surrender the
protection which the guaranty system
gives to their depositors. They ought
not to be driven to this alternative. Con
gress had ample time to pass a law per
mitting the National banks of Oklahoma
to take advantage of this system. The
Oklahoma law was enacted In December
and went Into operation in February,
and Congress was In session for -several
months afterward, but while the Repub
lican leaders could find time to put
through the currency bill in the interest
of the stock market, they could not find
tints to enact legislation In the interest
of the depositors or even in the Interest
of the smaller National banks."
Acts as Pall-Bearer.
Late In the afternoon politics were laid
aside and Mr. Bryan went into the city
where he officated as a pallbearer at the
funeral of an old friend.
Over J5600 has. been turned Into the
Democratic National campaign fund up to
date by Mr. Bryan's political paper, as
the proceeds of subscriptions sent In di
rectly to it by individuals, clubs and news
papers. This amount does not Include
any personal contributions by Mr. Bryan,
nor receipts from the publication of the
paper over and above the running ex
penses, wHiich the candidate for President
has promised to donate to the National
campaign.
The Bryan newspaper remittances will
be made after a balance sheet has been
made up for each month, showing how
much the profits of the business were.
This statement has not yet been com
pleted for July, but It .will be shortly..

National Chairman Mack and Congress

known that the Democratic Congres

operate with the Presidential cam

would render any financial aid neces

heretofore harmoniously as separate
organizations. Mt. Lloyd told Mr.
Mack that prospects were bright for
the election of a Democratic House
and that with proper aid many dis

Democratic. Mr. Mack told Mr. Lloyd
that the National Committee would be

State Senator Timothy Sullivan, of
New York, who is returning from a

convention of the Eagies, called on
Mr. Mack today.
"Everywhere I found the sentiment

"I heard reports out West that Tam
