INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. St. For
mally notifying Charles W. Fair
banks here today ot his nomination
by the republican iarty fcjr vice
president, Senator Lawrence Y. Sher
man ot Illinois attacked the record
of President WllBon and his demo
cratic party and declared that what
ever the result ot the election Indl
nna would give the government, Its
vice-president would be an eminent
and capable man and a gentleman.
Senator Sherman aftor formally
Notifying Mr. Fairbanks ot his iiomt
iiHtloon, snid:
"lloth candidates on our national
ticket enllHtcd on the call of the re
publican convention. Neither hesi
tated In volunteering his services,
lloth aro now rendering that sorvlce
in tho common cause of rcdeomlng
the country from the misrule and
liabltual Incapacity of the democratic
party now nearlng the end of its
third failure In half a century."
President Wilson, Senator Sher
man said, relied upon a one-torm
plcuKO In the democratic platform In
3 918 when a candidate, "but not
only failed to keep it whou in office,,
but repudiated It In his Palmer let
ter a month beforo he was Inaugur
ated. "The American people will enforco
obedience .to Ills broken promise,''
the senator added.
Jlrand.i m-iiioci-ntM Iiirumimtrot.
"Tho republican party does not
roly morely upon the broken faith of
its political advorsnry. The perform
ances of the democratic party are
worse than its broken promlsos. It
Is a hclploss aggregation drifting
aimlessly In our foreign affairs and
driving toward industrial ruin lu
our democratic affairs.
"It lias utterly failed to read tho
significance of world events and re
sulting conditions In their relation
to our future trade. It leaves us ex
posed aud helpless for either effec
tive or defensive business prepara
tions at homo or abroad when peace
Is restored,
"The largest affirmative result In
this democratic administration Is Its
appropriations. Its largest negative
thing Is Its treasury deficit. Well
worthy of a promoter rather than a
financier.
"It has restored to an adius stamp
tax In time of peace for the first timo
In our history. Its excise taxes on
occupation, Investments, merchan
dise and Insurance with Its small col
lections of customs duties, brand the
democratic party as incapable In
peace as Incompetent to devolop and
protect our resources for defensive
war."

dicates that up to that time nothing
had been heard there of the report

ish press representative In Greece,
that the king had fled from Athens.

STATES BURLESON
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31. Post
master General Burleson conferred
today with both President Wilson
and Chairman Adamson and said
afterward that he will Insist that
malls be carried on every train
moved In tho event a strike conies.
Should the president's appeal to
the brotherhood hea'ds to rescind the
strike order" fail,- lie Is prepared to
Issue a public statepicnt calling upon

Join In ordering Its recall.
EIGHT-HOUR STRIKE BILL BALM
(Continued from page one '
then under Bpecial rule, making It
effective November 1.
The measure contemplated would
establish eight hours as the standard
work day for railroad employes en
gaged In Inter-state -commerce; it
would authorize appointment by the
president of a commission to study
general conditions 'under the eight
hour day and report Its recommenda
tions to congress, the president and
through the president to the Inter
state commerce commission pending
the report daily wages should not be
reduced below the present pay for
longer hours,. , '
Other measures were under- con
templation, but the eight hour day
and investigation proposals were re
garded as the most effective pieces ot
emergency legislation.
The attitude of ' congress today,
that of determination to prevent the
strike, was exemplified by the resolu
tion, pending in the senate calling on
brotherhood officials to suspend the
strike order for one week; and the
statement of Sonator Thomas, that
if the government failed to protect
the public In such a crisis, it had no
right to call itself a government.

CHICAGO, Aim,'. .11. Renewal of
efforts to bring- about a postpone
ment of the railway strike had only
a Uflnstcnt bullish effect today on
witwhi. The opening;,- which limned
from decline to ' advance, with
rieiifcnibcr ut $1 ,.Wt to $l.:)Vi,
and December ut $1.42 to $1.43, was
followed by a material gcncrul up
turn and then n sharp decline.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31. Cou-
RreBs put all other affairs aside to
day and devoted Itself to enacting
President Wilson's legislative pro
gram to avert the railroad strike.
Wilson Continues Effort".
But the president, overlooking no
possible means, to prevent the
threatening public calamity,, .did not
depend on congress alone and con
tinued unceasingly his efforts to get
the brotherhood heads to postpone
their strike order.
Just before noon the president
went to the capitol, and conferring
with the leaders, urged on them the
need of speed to get the bills through
the legislative machinery of house
and senate before Saturday night.
Then, returning to the white house,
he called the four brotherhood heads
before him for another appeal to de
lay their strike while congress, by
law, provides what the railroads have
refused.
Although the brotherhood leaders
reiterated that only a "favorable set
tlement" could delay the strike and
that they were powerless to postpone
it, one of them admitted he believed
the rank and file of the men, in
view of the efforts being made In
congress, would vole to delay It if
thore was time for them to express
their wishes.
May ApiMtil to Workers.
Back of it all, President Wilson
was holding another card a direct
appeal to the rank and file ot the
railroad men to realize that congress
is about to give thetn what they ask
and to stay to their posts. '
The president was still determined
today to do this if necessary, but was
hopeful it would not be.
-After the conference -between- tho
president and the brotherhood lead
ers It was said at the white house
that tho employes "had given uo as
surances of any kind."'
While the senate inter-state com
merce committee was hearing the
railroad heads and the brotherhood
leaders, the house managers got into
action and agreed on a bill, Intro
duced by Representative Adamson
and approved by President Wilson,
providing the eight hour day, pro
rata pay for overtime and a commis
sion to investigate the new condi
tions. They planned to rush it
through while the senate was work
ing. It did not include the compul
sory investigation ? tea litres yof fthe
president's program, but tRee were
Indications that he would be satisfied
with enough to prevent the men from
striking and take-up the remainder
later. 'Jj v "': ' ' ' "
Meanwhile, employers and men
had a public hearing- on the presi
dent's legislative program before the
senate inter-state commerce commis
sion. The men opposed the compul
sory investigation, feature and the
employers opposed the eight-hour
day.
