It was signed by the secretary of the Inter-Denominational Council of Women for Christian and Patriotic Services.

The protest alleges, - among other things, that Smoot is a member and officer of a secret, oath-bound organization, which has for one of its purposes the suoversion of the government of the United States and its conversion into a theocracy, and a violation of its laws even to the commission of immoral or criminal acts; that as a member of this, he is subservient to the will of its leaders in matters both religious and temporal. The protest further alleges that Smoot was elected to the senate because of his membership and office in said organization. |
