TALKS OF RESIGNING
rtiea, Sept 7 ? -James Schoolcraft
I Sherman, vice president of the Unlt
fvd Stat**, has been suffering from
' )<<jor health for a long time, and is
, now considering a resignation from
I the vice presidency. He said today
'that he did not feel like making the
[contest for re-election, but desired to
I resign. It is learned that he has
1 put the matter up to the National
Republican committee and is only
awaiting their action before docld-i
ing to withdraw. He believes that ltf
will be to the beat interest of the j
party for him to withdraw, because;
h?' will have to neglect all political *
duties and give his attention to re- I
storing his health.
Mr. Sherman is president of the
Ttlra Truat A Peposlt company and
is interested In many business enter
