commit-tee to confer with a similar committee from the Senate with < view to calling Mr < I Republican Senatorial caucus Done moved that a committee of five be appointed Mr Stewart of Salt Lake opposed the motion He thought it ill advised to appoint I committee as the house did not know that the Senate had appointed such a committee He said OPPOSED TO CAUCUS I am a personal friend of Mr Smoot He is one of the ablest men in the State and the peer of any man In Utah We dont mow as to the authenticity of the telegram that fell like a bombshell among us this morning We dont know that the President of the United Slates has In an unprecedented manner attempted at-tempted to dictate what we shall do Until we have had time to get at the bottom of this I am opposed to going Into a caucus I has gone out to the North South East and West that Mr Reed Smoot is the choice of this Legislature Legis-lature for United States Senator Mr Hull attempted to soolh the gen tlemans rued feelings by explaining that he did not propose to elect a Senator Sen-ator then and there but merely wanted to appoint a committee to help arrange for a party caucus In the future WANTED TO BE SHOWN I Mr Stewart said he did not object to i a caucus but he did not know that the Senate had appointed a committee and moved as L substitute that a commltlee he appointed to find out whether the Senate had taken such action Mr Wilson of Wnsatch moved ns a substitute for the substitute that the House take the initialivc and appoint such a committee to wait upon the Senate Sen-ate ateMr Mr Stewart was beginning to get restive again and Mr Hull again explained ex-plained that there was no plot on foot to throw down Mr Smoot MIGHT BE A DEBT The only purpose of the caucus he said Is I to settle this matter In our own party I dont care If Smoot haw n unanimous vote in both houses We should hold JL l caucus anyway before we go Into a vote with the Democrats I we do not hold a caucus now two years from now they may fay We did not hold a caucus last session1 and go Into the Joint session without settling the matter and then there will be hl 1 to payThe amendment to the amendment the amendment and the original motion were all carried without dissent and Chairman Molyneux appointed Barrett oC Beaver Hull of Suit Lake Stewart of Salt Lake Condon o Ogden and Wilson of Wasatch as the committee The caucus
