dent James S. Sherman was formally
notified at his home here to-day that ,
he was again the choice of a Itepubli- j
can national convention.
"This distinction was r.ot sought by j
me," said the Vice-President, after \
United States Senator George Suther?
land, of Utah, had delivered the speech
of notification, "but unsolicited it is
the more appreciated. 1 cannot but
recognize your message as a mandate 1
must obey."
The ceremony was In the open air in

accepting the nomination the Vlce
Preslder.t declared that his rarty was
fortunate "in the fact that our oppo?

livion, too. awaits It."
Of Governor Wilson he sa'd:
"The Democratic candidate is Bryan

fied. "
Dr. Wilson, he said, was a "peda- i
