 Justice O'Gorman said: "I cannot credit the plaintiffs evidence as to the alleged marriage and the testimony as it inn presses the court is that this is a most wicked design to support false and hc- titious claim by forgery and perjury

In course of execution. Few, at this
time, have reached ultimate conclu-
sion. To place another man at the
head of this government would mean,
for some time to come, delay, uncer-
tainty, If not possible disappointment,
In the successful carrying out of the
problems of government the Presi-
dent has essayed to solve.
For President Roosevelt to be per-
mitted to give up the reins of govern
ment at the end of his first elective
term because of such illogical and
paltry reasons as have been offered,
against the wish of the great mass
of the people, in the present condition
of governmental affairs, would be
worse than folly.
There is but one logical and reas-
enable thing to do under the circum-
stances, and that is for the Republi-
can national convention at Chicago
to nominate Mr.. Roosevelt as the
choice of the Republican party for
President. 1t might not be so logical,
but it would be the sensible thing for
the Democratic convention to take a
similar course. II Mr. Roosevelt feels
that he cannot consistently accept
another nomination, the people will
not insist that he do so. They will,
however, insist that he be on hand
when the time comes for his inaugur-
alton.
