1895. :"
Many who were present at the mar.
rage" said the bishop, "and were as
soclated closely with the Marlbor-
oughs at the time, have Informed me
tnat they saw no sign whatever that
the bride was acting under New
YORK compulsion, but quite Of the con.
trary.
Il have the direct testimony OF one
VINO heard his statements that In view
OF the special circumstances attend

church' the Rev. DR.. John Wesley
bIoWn, took great care to assure him
sen mat his young parishioner was
actlng Of her own free consent, and
.hae ne was entirely satisfied as to
this.
"But the facts Of this case are suff,-
clent as they stand open in the record,
and in. the light of them the decision
announced by the Vatican court is a
preposterous one.

any sense which constituted duress.

Sented this plea to the courts of the
Church Of Rome.
Inc plea of duress made under
sucn circumstances as these, after a
quarter OF a century Of married life,
and the birth of two children. would
not have been entertained by any civil
court, and the decree of the Vatican
court based on this plea is one which
earnest and devout Roman Catholics
themselves should, and am sure
many do. greatly regret.
That any woman Of middle age,
after years Of married life, should be
willing to swear that her parents sold
her for worldly gain, and against her

more SO when one of the parents is no
longer here to deny such an accusa-
ton.
This whole proceeding is a discred-
II to the Christian church and an in
jury to religion. 1t has done more
than any event in years to weaken the
sanctity of marriage.
AT this time, when so many infiu-
ences are at work which threaten to
destroy Christian marriage, the out
look is serious indeed if the Roman
Catholic church is to take such a po-
IF couples who have lived years in
Wedlock can procure annulments
merely by discovering that undue
pressure in some form was used at
the time of their marriage, divorce
will become unnecessary. In the light
of this annulment and the others that
are now rumored on trivial and puerile
grounds. what becomes Of the claim
of the Roman church that 1t stands
for indissoluble marriage?
IF this is to be it's policy the sacred
Rota tribunal will be likely to receive
many applications for dissolution of
the marriage bond.
by all who wish to see the sacred
ness of marriage upheld, and by all
who recognize the great moral and
spiritual opportunity of the Roman
Catholic church, this action by the
tribunal of the Vatican should be
openly condemned and most deeply de-
plored."

Word Senator King

Los Angeles. Nov. 25.-{P)-The
United States senate campaign funds
committee undoubtedly will investi-
gate alleged excessive expenditures
in obtaining the Republican nom-
ination for United States senator III
Maine for Arthur r. Gould, if form
al complaint is made to the COM
mittee, one of it's members, Senator
William H. King. Democrat, of Utah,
declared here tonight.
The statement was made In COM
menting on accusations made by
Ralph o. Brewster, Republican gov
ernor of Maine, in refusing to sup
port Gould's candidacy.
Senator King said that, insofar as
he knew, such a complaint has not
been made. He declared that he
believed the committee would be
willing to act, even though the
charges involve the primary election
rather than the campaign since that
time.

Meanwhile Secretary Of State

for a hearing on the Rev. Leigh's
charges. The Randolph clergyman

Previously the Reverend A. F.
Leigh of Randolph filed charges with
the secretary Of state here that
Gould had exceeded the legal limit of

Redman's charges were contained

The statement took the form of a
report on the New Brunswick situa-

The following is taken from the
Kennebeo Journal Of Thursday, Nov.
Is:
'The following declaration upon pro-
hibition appears in the announcement
of Mr.. Goulds candidacy over his own
signature, which has been widely cir
culated throughout the State" Mr..
Field stated: LAS a business man, I
fully appreciate the great blessings
that prohibition has brought to the
working men and their families, and If
elected shall follow the traditional
policy of the State of Maine in up
holding national prohibition"
1T seems to me-" said Mr.. Field
that this statement is as good a stand
for the prohibition people Of the State
Of Maine to accept as Is any state
ment made by man who In 1929 ask
ed for the Republican organization of
Hancock county to support him as a
Republican candidate for the United
States Senate, running as a wet can
didate against Bert NJ. Fernald, with
the statement that he would get all
the money he wanted and that the
time was ripe in Maine for a wet can
didate."

has figured in the social news quite
conspicuously this past Summer. has
been gradually buying back the patri-
mony of the immigrant of his family,
John Gibson, who landed in the MaSsa-
chusetts colony in 1884. He became
| a noted Indian fighter and eventually
moved from Cambridge to the upper
part of Maine, where, through con-
quest and barter, he obtained some
acres of sea acoast. He sailed his ships,
and in the middle of the seventeenth

! to build quite a pretentious house at
what Is now the name Of the entire

have spread throughout the Union,
but the clan to which the artist be-

one of the most accomplished chate-

all through the Summer. The eldest
