Sherman, was again nominated by the Republican Party as William Howard Taft's running mate, but he died about a week before Election Day, so the Republican electors were advised to cast their votes for Nicholas M. Butler instead. V.P. Sherman was the most recent U.S. Vice President to die in office.
The winner of the vice-presidential election was Woodrow Wilson's running mate, Democrat Thomas R. Marshall, who would become only the second person to serve eight whole years as U.S. Vice President.
