SHERMAN IS NOTIFIED

Utica Takes a Holiday and Follows This Year's Trend of Such Functions. EVENT A NON-PARTISAN AFFAIR Citizens Turn Out to Do Honor to a Fellow-Townsman. Burrows Whispers the Secret and th® Nominee Replies, Indorsing His Leader's Speech and Rooseveltian Policies. Utica, N. Y., Aug. 18.—Representative James S. Sherman, at noon today ■was formally notified of his nomination for the vice presidency at the Chicago convention last June, and the final ceremonies of officially placing the Republican national ticket before the people were completed. The notification (was made the occasion of a general (holiday, and the residents of the city, Irrespective of party, took part In the .tribute to a fellow townsman. Thous-

JAMES S. SHERMAN.

ands of persons from outside the city were present to take part in the exercises and the enthusiasm with which Sherman was received when he appeared to receive the formal notification, voiced in a brief speech by Senator Burrow, must have been gratifying to him. His speech was frequently applauded and at its close he received 'an ovation. i f SPEECH OF THE NOMINEE Indorses the Roosevelt Policies and Judge Taft’s Acceptance. Representative Sherman’s speech of acceptance was as follows: "Senator Burrows and Gentlemen of the Notification Committee: Your chairman, speaking for the committee, has. notified me of my nomination by the Republican national convention held in Chicago in June as the party’s candidate for vice president. As I chanced to be in Chicago in June I had an inkling of the convention's action, which was confirmed by a warm hearted reception tendered me by my neighbors on the occasion of my home'coming on July 2. This official notlftication, however, is welcome, - and the Domination you tender me is accepted —accepted with a gratitude commensurate with the great honor conferred: accepted with a full appreciation of the obligations which accompany that honor, an honor greater because my name is linked with that of William H. Taft, whom I respect and esteem highly, and who approaches the high office of president exceptionally well equipped to discharge the duties and bear the varied and weighty responsibilities of that exalted position. My acceptance could not be made with honor unless I were in full accord with the declaration of principles adopted by the convention. Not only am I in full- and complete accord with my party’s platform, but 1 indorse every word of the statement made by Mr. Taft in his address of acceptance when notified of his nomination as the Republican candidate for president. "That speech fully and comprehensively discusses the issues of this campaign as presented by the platforms of the two great parties, so that It is appropriate that my statement should be short. Those not convinced by the presentation of Mr. Taft I could not hope to persuade. It is. however, in conformity with custom that I refer at least briefly to some of. the important Issues of the c/mpalgn. “First, then, let me say that I am a protectionist. I am sufficiently practical to. value the utility of a fact higher than the beauty of a theory, and I am a protectionist because experience has demonstrated that the application •f that principle has lifted us as a nation to a plane of prosperity above that occupied by any other people. “T especially commend that plank of our platform which promises an early revision of tariff schedules. That pledge will be fulfilled In an adjustment based In every particular upon the broad principles of protection for all American Interests, alike for labor. foF capital, for producers and consumers. The Dingley bill when enacted was well adapted to the then existing conditions. The developments of industrial prosperity in a decade, which In volume and degree have surpassed •nr most roseate expectations, have so altered .conditions that in certain de-

tails of schedules they no longer in •very particular mete out justice to all. In this readjustment the principle of protection must and will govern. “The Republican party believes In the equality of airmen before the law; believes 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 record in the enactment of the eight hour law. the employers’ liability act, the statutes to minimize the hazard of railroad employes, the child labor law for the District of Columbia and other enactments designed especially to improve the conditions of labor. I cannot hope to better state my position on injunctions than by a specific indorsement of" Mr. Taft’s Cincinnati declaration on the subject That Indorsement 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. This we o\ve to ourselves as well as to them. As the result of a course of events that epa never be reversed they are a part of our civilization: their, prosperity is our prosperity; their debasement would be our misfortune. The Republican party, therefore, will offer every encouragement to the thrift, industry and intelligence that will better their prospect of higher attainment. ’*l believe in the maintenance of sue!) an army, the upbuilding of such a navy as will be the guarantee of the protection of American citizens and American interests everywhere, and an omen of peace; that at every exposed point we may be so fortified that no power on earth may be tempted to molest us. I believe in the restoration of the American merchant marine and in rendering whatever financial aid may be necessary to accomplish this purpose. “I approve the movement for the conservation of our natural resources, the fostering of friendly foreign relations, the enforcement of our civil service law and the enactment of such statutes wiy more securely and more effectively preserve the public health. “Our platform, as it should do, pledges adherence to tiie policies of President Roosevelt: promises to continue the work inaugurated during his administration, to insure to persons and property every proper safeguard, and all necessary strengthening of administrative methods will be provided to.furnish efficient Inspection and supervision and prompt righting of every injustice, discrimination and wrong.

“I have not touched upon every plank of our splendid platform, but I reiterate my full and unqualified approval of its every promise. “The work that has been given the" Republican party to do has been of Immense importance. Much of that work has been fully accomplished; some has yet to be completed. Republican dec-, larations once in our platform and no longer there are omitted because they have become accomplished facts. On the other hand, Democratic declarations have been abandoned because the voters have pronounced them to be unwise and unsafe and unsuited to out times and our country. “ ‘Slut 11 thb people rule? Is declared by the Democratic platform and candidate to be ‘the overshadowing issue • * * now under discussion.’ It is no Issue. Surely the people shall rule; surely the people have ruled; surely the people do rule. No party rules. The party. conimissio|ied by the people, is simply the instrument to execute the people’s will, and from that party which does pot obey their expressed will or which lacks the wisdom to lead successfully the people will withdraw their commission. “For half a century, with but two exceptions, the people have commissioned the Republican party to administer the national government—commissioned it because Its declared principles appealed to their best judgment, commissioned it because the common sense of the American people scented danger in Democratic policies. Ours always Ims been, always must be. a government of the people. That party will after March 4 next execute old laws and enact new ones as in November it is commissioned by the people to do. That commission will be from, an untramineled American electorate. Rhame on the party which .shame on the candidate who, insults the American people by suggestion or declaration that a majority of its electorate is venal. The American voter, with rare exception, in casting his ballot is guided by hjs best judgment, by his desire to conserve bls own and the public weal. “The overshadowing Issue of the campaign really is: Shall the administration of President Roosevelt be approved? Shall a party of demonstrated capacity n administrative affairs be continued in power? Shall the reins of government be placed in experienced hands, or do the people prefer to trust their destinies to an aggregation of experimental malcontents and theorists, whose only claim to a I history is a party name they pilfered? "With a record of four decades of wise legislation, twoecore years of faithful administration, offering its fulfilled pledges as a guaranty of its promises for the future, the Republican party appeals to the people and. with full confidence in their wisdom and patriotism, awaits the rendition of the November verdict.”
