H Post Thinks He Will Be H Ousted. iM Tiik Run iii.iuan s indebted to 1l Congressman Howell or his sccretar.v iil for a recent copy of The Washington 11 Post, one or the leading paper's of tho j H Nation's capital, and finds therein a I reference to tho "Smoot case." From H the ract that the paper Is published 'H at the scat or battle where local anl- ' H mosltics or friendliness can hardly ,H bias its columns its expressions may liil be taken as more certain to represent H facts than tho material furnished by 9 H cither of tho Salt Lake dailies, now- I H over, Tiik Rki'uiilican can not an- ji H swer for the veracity of the writers on 4 H The Post nor or the correctness of Its i H representations and presents hero a ' H synopsis of tho article to be taken for H just what the reader may deem It ( H worth. The Post says: , H "The question of the treatment of il Senator Reed Smoot by tho senate is ii'l now more a matter or method and tl terminology than or result. There Is , iH no longer any loom for doubt that the Senate Committee on Privileges and " H Elections, which will meet soon j( M at Hie call or Chairman Burrows H to again begin consideration or ' fl the Mormon's apostle's case, will ro- H poit adversely to Mr. Smoot longer holding his scat." H There follows this a discussion rep- ' M resenting the views of Mr. Bailey and i 11 Mr. Burrows. Both arc against Mr. f( M Smoot, the latter for "exclusion," which requires only a majority voto or ,' M the senators, the former Insisting on fl seating him and then expellnghlm. j M The difference between thctwoscna- j H tor Is that they Interpict constilu- L tlonal law differently. Mr, Bailey's l M attitudes In this case is as It was in I M the Roberts case. 1 1 The Post continues: "In Senator ' i M Buriows' view or It, Its meaning and M intent are to empower each House of Congress to expel a member ir he mis- M conducts himself. This Interprets- ' lion by tho Michigan Senator would I IH empower the Senato to exclude any or M Its members which might be distaste- J M ful for any icasnn to a majority or the j M Senate. It is probably the Interpret- ' M atlon that will win In the contest ', : M which will be lalsed by the opposite . M contention, ; 1 H Bailey's Plan Favors Him. j H It Is not Inconceivable that should H, the Bailey contention win. Mr. Smoot would hold his seat, because then it M would. require a two-thirds vote to ex- t H pel him. It is known that several ? H Senators fiom States In the far west I M do not Intend to voto against Smoot. 1 ' M This is notably truo or tho Senators i; H riom Womlng where tho Mormon In- H llucnce Is getting strong and some- M what assertive. It would not bo an , Impossible task for Senator Smoot to H prevent his enemies from solidifying H two-thiidsof the Senate agalst him, H but as the case now stands It seems an H Impossible task for him to hold his H seat If the Burrows method prevails. M Tho hearings In the Smoot case, A H which will begin soon, piobably will I H develop notldng new for a week or ' H more, though It Is tho Intention to go j' H deeper into the test oath and similar j H things than ever." ? 1 H |
