Mr. C'rltchlow said lie had never heard It charged that Air. Smoot had more than one wife. The witness was naked concerning the protest against Smoot and he gave the list., accompanied by a si element as to tholr business connections and as a result a number of them will be called as witnesses In the case, la answer tu fo Air. Critchlow said ho had quirle drafted the protest against Mr. Smoot. Rcfcrenre was madn to tho necessity of tho Mormons to secure the con sent of their associates to go Into certain business projects and the effort of the proceeding when snrh a consent was withheld. Air. Crltrhlow said that It was tho opinion of many persona that If officers such ns apostles should enter politics there will lie no rhance fur laymen and they would not dare to aspire to high po lit leal honors. The necessity of apostles to secure consent is equivalent to church Indorsement when that consent is given, said (bn witness. You say they would not dare aspire to office, said Senator Beveridge, "What would happen if they did?" "They wonld bo held to be out of harmony and not disposed to takn counsel of those higher In the rburcli. What would bo done to them?" They would be dlsfellowshippcd and ostracised from ihe churrh.

Critchlow waa questioned In regard to n former statement that Mr, Bniisd was repul ed to be not a polygn mist, and asked if bo could not say positively that Air. Smot is not a polygamist. He replied that tha quasi ion hail never Imumi raised until the election of Mr, Hmnot tn the Senate. Then the suggestion was made that President Smith would not allow a person to have the lndornpmcnt.of tho church for Senator unless that vrau subscribed tn Air. Smith's religion. Mr. (Yitrhlow said that he Itelioved Mr. Smith would not oppose a person to betxuue an aimstle who waa not a polygamist or expected to become one. The names of John R. Wynder, President Hatch and President Clough were read tn show that persona who are not polygamists have attained high positions during Mr, Smith's presidency. Crltrhlow responded that they were exception because of their great popularity and the fart that It was well known their wives bad greater influence over them than tho rhurrh. Each of the men mentioned, he added, la said to have an exceptional wife. To show the general feeling of Gen-tiltoward Alormons, Air.
