mated here tonight by Congressman
Henry d. Flood, of Virginia, who d.
ivered a speech in the house of rep
ence that packed the large chamber.
Congressman Floods speech was
the most effective he has made during
his present trip through the new
state The speaker sounded a warn
ing that If frauds were committed ar
dishonest elections attempted, this
year, congress would not submit tO
them as in the past. He said that the
lower house of the national lawmak-
ing body is not only ashamed Of the
men who procure seats in congress
through fraudulent methods but It
Is tired Of having men get into cong
ress in this manner
In his reference to the possibility
that President Taft might withhold
his proclamation admitting Now

president, In view Of his we'll known
adherence OF fraud ana corruption
would never consent to issue his pro-
clamation until he was satisfied that
the election had been conducted

said MIR Flood, would leave the presi-
dent open To the suspicion that Ia"
was condoning election frauds IN or
der to keep his party in power In New
Mexico, and this the president would
never do. The strong public sen.i-
Inent throughout the nation against
corruption at the polls, declared the
speaker is sufficient guarantee that
no man who, like Mr.. Taft, expects To
be "a candidate for president, will ever
expose himself to the charge OF con-
doning election corruption.
The audience at the meeting tonight
numbered over six hundred and was
enthusiastic In the extreme. At the
conclusion OF his speech congressman

The figures are certainly startling
enough. But under the present
marriage laws it would be almost in
human to attempt to make the di-
vorce laws generally more rigid. AS
long as secret and hasty marriages
are possible to say nothing Of many
other deplorable conditions connect
ed Herewith, an opportunity must
be given for separation of the fear
fully but wonderfully mismated
couples. II many good people who
give so much endeavor to strengthen
ing the divorce laws would turn
their attention wholly to the advoc-
acy of uniform and rigid marriage
laws much more would undoubtedly
be accomplished in lessening the di
vorce evil. The present divorce laws
of most states are perfection itself
compared with the laxity and care
lessness under which a man and wo
man may enter into what should be
the most sacred obligations. The
marriage laws are what first need
the attention of the state and nat
