Sherman, who had been renominated by the Republicans, there is a vacancy on the Republican national ticket. Republican Re-publican presidential electors are at liberty to fill this vacancy when thev meet to deliver the vote of their statos. There Is a strong sentiment in favor of casting the eight votes of Utah and Vermont for some prominent promi-nent Republican from ono of these states. Eph Homer of Provo, presidential elector from Utah, yesterday' started a boom for Mrs." Margaret Zane WItcher for tho place made vacant on the ticket by the death of Vice President Sherman. Of course, there would be only eight votes cast for Mrs. Witchcr, but the. fact that this has been the first time a woman has beon suggested for the place of vice president is in itself a signal honor. Thus far, Vermont has submitted no candidate for the vice presidency, and it would appear that tiiero was moro than a possibility that Mrs, WItcher might be solected by the Utah and Vermont electors to receive this complimentary com-plimentary vote. |
