SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 4.-At a
special meeting of the Ladies Anti
Polygamy Society of this city, a
petition to Congress was drafted,
calling attention to George @. Cam
mons polygamous relations and
open violations of the law of 1862,
and asking the expulsion OF this
w-oreaker from the House. They
give the names of his polygamous
wives, the number of children born
to each woman, and say he was
elected to Congress because he is
one of the most strenuous uphold
ers of this disgraceful institution;
he Is now serving his fourth term,
and his presence in Washington,
among the National law. makers is
great encouragement to his fellow
polygamists, and his repeated re-
election to such high and honora-
BILE position is in pursuance of
threat made by the late Brigham
Young that he would "thrust pc
lygamy down the throats of the
American people," and closes by
saying: 1--WE do not assume too
much in saying that the people of
the United States look to you for
the solution of this question, and
that you can commence your work
in no more effective manner than
by expelling Geo. @. Cannon from
your honorable body"
