UNNY JIM SHERMANr

t Slickest Man in the Congressional-

Bunch is Now Running forVice President

Washington June 2IJamcshoolcraft Sherman is known in

pashington as Sunny Jim Hean ideal running mate for Taft

>m a Republican standpointQuite a character on Capitol Hill

with his gray Engh walking coat flat top derby-t round ruddy cheeks and funlittle chopped off whiskers just

fder the ears Of course he willrelieved of his duties as chair

an of the Republican Congresanal Campaign Committee inlich capacity he had become esdally skilled in pulling the legs

corporations and individual plucrats for the patriotic purpose of

suring a Republican majority in-

e House For such valuable ser-e

j

to his party he was at thefling of the Sixtieth Congress

ade a member of the Housebmmittee on Rules and one of the-

gFive as Champ Clark desigted Cannon Payne Dalzell I

Icpbupi and Sherman and as I

tamp Clark further observed onoccasion in the House Sherin is the slickest one in thench He is a jolly genial man I

id personally is very popular I

lied Champ Clark made the re I

Pen Picture of Sherman I

Physically the Republican canate for the vice presidency israther stout build though the

putness is not fat heis of theletic type His face IS ruddy

hair just slightly turning graythere is a quickness in lUSt

VeiilC lIt which indicates energyalertness He does not often

ak in the house r he does not-e

1

to He is one of the fortue ones who can get things they-nt without making speechesugh as a rule Sherman neverits anything done except what-is told by the bosses higher upwant And yet he has a mostent influence over the speakerhas money being the richest

h in Utica a fact when rathereals to Uncle Joeand those

have watched the SpeakerSherman are not surprised

Cncle Joe should haveie into the Chicago convention-

get permission to make a-

ch seconding the nomination of I

inny Jim for Vice President t

hose here who know New I

rk express the opinion thatrman is personally not popularhe Empire State and it is bymeans the universal belief

ng political experts that putf him on the ticket is going tore New Yorks electoral vote I

the Republicans What he wasly put on the ticket for is tomoney from Wall street Heit to be able to do this because-as been so long identified with

II street transactions having-the great length of his public-r been a prominent factor inlittle coterie of what Col

Iterson terms high finance andNot many of the fi ¬

ialpolitical deals in Newc have been put through withhe knowledge of Sunny Jimhe Big Five

therefore the two statesrrived in New York harbor akys afterwards and were metelegation of newspaper mengap telling about the beautytropics but had nothing to-

ut politics or about camfunds It is still arsten

CX is though the lettershave stood for Jesse Overbut j the mysterious manner

Irman after that message isell understood Harrimaned that he had turned the

to Jim ShermanIndents own letter which

gave out at the Whitenning My dear Harrising the famous senand I are practical

cted Roosevelt of colHarriman but it was

of the Anna uaskit the-

Ibetternew

having his credentials approved ifSherman the man to whom themoney was paid over should keephis mouth shut-

Obeyed His OrdersAnd Sherman did keep it shut

never having opened it till this daySince he was one of that Big Fivewho strangled the campaign pub-licity

=

bill in the House by putting-en it wholl extraneous and im¬

possible amendments so as to keepI the Senate from passing it it canI be well imagined how much he willnow talk about the source and thedisbursements of campaign funds

The people of New York alarge portion of them at leastknow these things and whileSunny Jim may be able to getmoney from the big trust magnttes and the bankers and specu¬

lators of Wall street there are afew other people in New York who i

have got to be considered NewYork went Democratic in the lastgubernatorial election with thesingle exception of the head of theticket and everybody who kept upwith that remarkable campaign un-

derstand that it was the objection-able

¬

personality of Hearst whichiiTide those who voted for the restcr the Democratic ticket scratchHearst and elect Hughes Andwhat carried New York Demo ¬

cratic was the revulsion against I

just such transactions as Shermanhas been mixed up with

Of course Hearst may turn his I

powerful engines against the Democratic ticket and thus elect theRepublican ticket by a pluralitythough not a majority Hearst isin New York like Tom Watson is I

in Georgia he cannot get elected I

tj any office himself but he can S

prevent any one elses election lIe J

has turned his batteries-loose on Sherman so that there

I

need be no fear that he will sup ¬

port the Republican ticket but-

t hat he is threatening to do is to I

nominate an Independent ticket j

which would take votes fromBryan

All of the preliminary talk inChicago about the nomination of

j

Dclliver or Cummins of Iowa or of I

Fairbanks of Indiana was simplyI

guff The President was pull-ing

¬ I

the strings from Washingtonjaml he did not discourage the talk

I

of an Iowa man but all the time heknew as did the other bosses of I

the machine that a New York manwas preeminently needed forNew York they all felt was in

I

greater danger than Iowa-

Is a itReactionarySince Sherman is what the

Presidents rooters term a reac-tionary

¬

it was necessary that heshould not be the Vhite Houses

I

first choice but the dominating i

spirit at the Vhite House is a farI

slicker one in his bunch than everSherman was and he was only

I

waiting for the psychological mo-

ment¬

I

to let the Sherman boomboon It was in truth a most de-

sirable¬

t

thing to get some one onthe ticket like Dolliver or Cum-

mins to try to counteract the tre¬

mendous Bryan sentiment in the I

I Middle West but it was thought I

I both by Roosevelt and the otherIxsses at Chicago to be very much

I

more necessary to get some cam-

paign

¬

funds from the trusts andplutocrats in New York as it was-

c < nsidered needful to have a XewYork man on the ticket in order tocounteract the opposition to Roose¬

velts man in New York l
