will not serve another term as a mem-
ber of the Democratic National Commit

by car and near by was n cabbage

Ia his message to the Delaware Legis-

marriages in Delaware; sour state" he
says, SIS acquiring reputation in the
matter of secret and hasty marriages that
is far from creditable. earnestly advise
that you seriously consider this evil, and
enact such law as you believe will tend
TO remove or cure it. The danger lies ia
secrecy to great extent. Specifically. /
recommend that law be passed which
shall make It unlawful for any one to
s0iemnize marriage ia this state between
parties. one or both OF whom are minors.
unless the father. mother or guardian of
such minor is present and consents there

mother or guardian shall have consented
10 writing to the marriage. Such law
would prevent 70 some extent hasty and
ill-considered marriages between young
people. who ID many instances. run away
from their homes and contract marriages
without the knowledge or consent OF their
parents. If not against their will
