serious attention to the fact that
neither Dolley nor Stubs have arisen

either openly support Taft and Sher-

This is the way Dean views the
This is William Allen Whites def

proposes not only to run the Bull

that Republicans must do as he, the
national committeeman of the Bull
Moose party, says, or that they still
can have no Taft electors for whom
to vote. Not one word of protest
against this statement do Republicans
hear from Mr.. Dolley, the chairman
of their committee, or from Mr. Stubs
or Mr. Capper who are running for

evident does it become every day that

COUPLE WHO ARE GIVING MARRIAGE A
TRIAL APE DEE ON T4ELp HONEYMOON

Pasadena, Cal, Sept 21.-Their
love not yet cold, Mr.. and Mrs. Charlie
ton W. Washburne, who were wed
here a few days ago under the mo
drag compact, are off on a happy
honeymoon which is to last several
weeks.
The marriage ceremony was per-
formed by Judge w. w. Northrup of
Alhambra. who, regardless of the
strange prenuptial agreement which
both signed and which provided that
the marriage bond was void with the
death of love- only asked whether
or not there was any legal obstacle in
the way of their union. Before Judge
Northrup tied the knot Judge Robert
w. Mcdonald of this city had refused
to do so, on the grounds that the pre-
nuptia1 agreement which had been
made was an absolute nullificafion. of
the institution of marriage. The pre-
nuptial agreement sets forth, among
other things, that the marriage shall
not give either party control or possess
sion of the other; that it shall not be
bar to other marriages should this
one prove unfruitfuI; that the ties
shall terminate with the death of love
on the part of either one; that neither
shall restrain the others parental re-
SponSibility and that in case of separa-
ton financial responsibilities shall
continue divided.
Mrs Washburne halls from Phila-
delphia. Her mother, Mrs Julia Davis
Chandler, is a writer on domestic sci
ence questions and holds rather mod
ern views on the emancipation of
riage ties. Washburne, who is but 21
years of age, is graduate of the Uni
versity of Chicago.
