Never NevEU be Able to Accomplish Their i Purpose If the Utah Man Was Al AI Allowed Allowed j lowed to Take His flis Seat S a t 1 4 I I Dr Dc T a C C spoke of the fight against B H Roberts R feat fast cst evening The agitation will not stop atop with witti the exclusion clu ion of Roberts he said Of orl course cour e the fight was centered upon him I Ia and d the attention of all ail public men in Washington Wul was vas taken up with that II but judging from expressions I heard I from front leading men inert there there will be a strong movement nt in favor of a constitutional constitutional I amendment disfranchising all ts I hope this will not be necessary but the temper In la Washing Washington ton is such that I believe it will be bedone bedone bedone done if it is deemed necessary To the statement tha that the case against Mr Roberts was prejudged and that congressmen men were intimidated into voting as they did Dr lUff said that if no DO crusade cru bad had been made congress would have voted overwhelmingly against Me tie representative from fron Utah on a plain statement of the facts Hiff lUff Favors Expulsion I was in favor tavor of expelling him he heId said mid We ke e here in Utah U took rook it for granted that he would be 00 given his seat nest and a an then expelled All our petitions read reed that way But Bt Mr Tayler who was given charge of the case found that there would be 00 more IDi legal difficulties ties against expelling him bins than in shutting him out Congress can oon only expel a member for some some me crime com corn committed during his term of f office and it w Id have been impossible to fasten the charge of polygamy on Roberts in inthis Inthis inthis this time For title reason the other course was wag taken There will be a minority report of the committee I think continued the doctor signed by L tU ld De Ar Armond Armond Armend mond mend and Meters Littlefield is a bright lawyer and prides himself K on that fact If he hes is convinced that Roberts should be sworn orn in under the law he would take his stand against all opposition But whatever is le done by the committee there will be but bat one outcome when the case reaches congress CO tess Says He Ee Was Disappointed d Dr lUte Hint was disappointed in the showing made by Roberts in his speech before congress I had bad heard him a number of times he said atM 8 d and knew his power as a public speaker so that he fell felt far below my expectations This was no doubt due to the great gr t strain under which he labored and the con consciousness that there vm wes such mich a n tee tre tremendous tr current against him Dr lUff thinks Mr Roberts cannot appeal from congress to the courts The decision deci lon of congress he said mid is isa Isa isa a law Jaw unto itself and from f it there is isDO no DO appeal He may bring suit for his lila salary of course cour e and that may be granted him That is a a minor matter m We W have not been lighting Ung for a salary but a principle 1 Dr lUff considers It a good joke on himself that the ties witnesses called from Utah to testify fe in the Roberts case were allowed mileage both ways while he who h had d put pet in seven
