A year later Mrs. Benrimo became
Mr.. Tysens third wife. Benrimo went
abroad and there made the acquaint-

In 1906 he and Miss Robertson were
married. Three years later Benrimo
was thrown into the greatest anxiety
by the sudden suit of Mr.. Tysen to
have his third marriage annuiled on
the ground that his wife never had
been legally divorced from Benrimo.
Until 1910 the question remained un-
settled. Then the suit was dismissed
in the supreme court, leaving Benrimo
happy in the assurance that he had
been legally divorced and consequently
was legally married. But the appellate
division of the supreme court added
its share to the tangle by deciding that
the annulment suit had been dis

Los Angeles, CAL Sept l3.-Declar-
ing that President Taft is q reactional'y
and does not represent the true senti-
ment of the republican party; strongly
urging consideration of Senator Robert
NJ La Toilette as a candidate for the
presidential nominations attacking the
last session of congress for attempting
to pass general tariff revision laws
and suggesting the formation of a new
political party, United States Senator
John ID. Works last night told mem
bers of the Union league just where he
stood on those questions.
Republicans are now facing the
question whether they will build up the
republican party or turn against it and
destroy it, said Senator Works.
"President Taft is not a representative
of the people. He is reactionary, and
also is merry man with a most
plausible manner in explaining away
his mistakes. Taft and La Toilette are
destined to face each other in the next
republican national convention and If
it was left to popular vote today. La
Toilette would be nominated and east
3ly. too"
"If however. Taft does secure the
nomination, republicans will be con-
fronted with a problem. lit would do
cratic party is more reactionary and
it is split wider than the republican
party ever was. Progressive repub-
licans, therefore, would be confronted
with this alternatives:
ITO remain within the party and
save it from defeat while working to
purify and improve it, or if they can
mot bring themselves to vote for Taft
to join progressive democrats who cam
not support Harmon or any other cam
didate and form a new party"
Senator Works said he would choose
and work in conjunction With other
DrogreSSiveS.
