Washington Insurgents Pleased By Tafts Patronage Move
Washington Sept 15 Broad smiles lighted insurgent ranks as news arrived Beverly that President Taft would let insurgent Senators and Representatives share in patronage. They recalled last winter when regulars tried to force insurgents into line for administration measures and resorted to threats of patronage removal. Some senators notably La Follette were barred from appointing postmasters in their home towns. Insurgents must tell supporters they helped elect that rewards could not be given, yet they welcome chances to aid friends though it likely won’t shift their stance in Congress.

Mayor's marriage consent valueless in New Haven
Frank Ambrosania and Ernestina Mai, both 18, sought a marriage license in New Haven. The bride showed consent from Bridgeport Mayor Buckingham, but the Elm City denied it, noting the certificate was worthless. Officials indicated the couple may be the same individuals who claimed the bride had no parents in the country. They were directed to obtain consent from the local mayor, who can grant consent for girls without parents. No license had been issued by moonlight today.
