is candidate for thd Republican
nomination in 1916, either active, pas
sive or even receptive; yet many are

In denying a woman's petition for di-
vorce, Judge Oldfield, in the district
court at Oklahoma, ruled that man
has right to forbid his wife to tango

to say whether or not his wife shall

dances, she must abide by his wishes,
But he was rough with her" hei
