time there were many negative observations ions among senators that Is a procedure of the house where they have no parliamentary law and I 1 object asserted senator money fifteen minutes were occupied in discussing the question of procedure then further further efforts in that direction were abandoned and senator dubois took the floor in opposition to mr smoot he charged that senators supporting the utah senator had taken advantage of all the tactics of special pleading when he lie declared that senator hopkins had put the mormon church above all other christian organizations mr hopkins sought to interrupt terru pt 1 I will not yield declared mr air dubois dubols with some heat you would not permit me to interrupt you but the senator is making an absolute misrepresentation shouted mr air hopkins mr dubois said the only fair speech that had hid been made for mr air smoot had been bean hy by ac me the junior senator from utah mr sutherland ho he would not have dared utter on this floor what other senators uttered he added because ho lie knows better the actual conditions in utah mr fr dubois took direct issue with senator knobs statement that p polygamy byg in utah has ended five out of twelve apostles have gone into it since the manifesto said aur r dubols the president of the tile church performed the ceremony between an apostle and his fou fourth wife turning curnin 9 his ills attention ton to senator smoot mr dubois remark remarked ed senator smoot is the son ball of a po his father had four wives when laiq h reached bed the ago of manhood he married tho daughter of a fourth wife of her father I 1 say this if it it hurt hum th tho of the senator it does not nut no one in utah will blamo blime him for it many will honor him mr air dubols dubois declared there wre were not teu tau sona senators tors who would vote tor for rood roo smoot if it they had read f hp testimony I 1 but I 1 know that strong influences are at work hore bore the president of the united d states is an open friend of the senator from utah you all know if ii he ile wants him sealed seated you have 01 ol the mormon vote you have hav every one of the them my friends upon tho the republican bide but it has cost Q 61 tb moral support ol 01 tho the chris tian women and anti men ozithe of the united states senator beveridge followed with a plea for mr air smoots loni he ile believed the greatest wrong that could be done any man waa was the ruin of his reputation when his life had been stainless the millions of petition signers against mr smoot he said expressed the sentiments of a misinformed public the senate should no more regard these petitions pet ItIbus than would any other court regard petitions to influence its verdict mr beveridge bad had talked to more than three hundred men and ft omen nomen and had found an almost universal stil mr air adist As an illustration mr beveridge presented halt half a dozen cupping books which he said were full of the statements of mr air smoots polygamy since the speech of senator burrows a few days ago he said a newspaper clipping from a middle northwestern paper had come to hie his notice it stated that mr air burrows had shown that mr smoot had five wives and forty seven children three of whom were born during the present year yeat an illustration was clipped literally from a washington newspaper bulletin board the day following senator knobs recent speech which read I 1 senator sentor knox defends polygamist smoot all of this misinformation he said waa was in the face of absolute and undisputed testimony mony that mr air smoot never had but one wife senator referred to the abe recent speech of senator burrows say ing the senator from michigan quoted froin froman kan address of mr smoot before a mormon congregation in salt lake take city made in 1903 since he has been a senator this was to show the senate that reed smoot is now the upholder of crime and the advocate of aalthe all the practices of af his church in the past yet of this quotation set out ad a single passage its five sentences are selected from five different portions of the ad address addreal dreas vary ing in from COO to 1600 words apart isolated from their context and rearranged worse than that two of them were altered worse than that the address was not on the subject of polygamy at all or on any aher violation of the law but ut upon the expenditures of the church funds which the church authorities had bad been charged with spending corruptly yet this alleged quotation fc used to blacken the senator aal so effectively that the senator from ar arkansas kansas labed baaed moat most of his speech upon it mr air beveridge disposed of what ho he regarded as the charge of treason against mr air smoot sot in that he had taken a church oath against his country dou by giving the record of cormons mormons in the recent war they had fou fought ht and died for their coun country tny senator carmack offered a substitute resolution providing that reed smoot a senator from utah be expelled from the senate it would he said require a two thirds vote of the senate to adopt his substitute previous to the recent speech of senator knox mr beveridge said it had been his intention to vote from the committee resolution mr air knox had demonstrated that the committee commit Aeo resolution
