1HE MORMON QUESTION.
TIE CANNoN-CAMPBELL CONTEST.

by TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUNE.
WASHINGTON Jan. 22.-The records and testi-
mony in the contested election of Cannon
against Campbell. of Utah. has been printed, and
Chairman Calkins, of the Election. Committee, says
the committee will begin the consideration of the
case next Tuesday. The papers in the case are not
voluminous. covering only sevcnty-four pages, OF
which only twcnty-seven pages are devoted To the
report of testimony given by the five witnesses for
Cannon and fonr witnesses for Campbell. One of
the vital points involved is Cannon's citizenship.
According to the evidence of Mr.. Caunon's brother
they both came to the United States from England
in 1872. when the contestant fifteen years Old.
Five years later he cmgratcd to Utah; two years
later, when he was twenty-five years old to Cali
fornia. In 1880, according to the testimony OF
William Farrar, q brother Mormon, Mr. Cannon
sent by the church as mis-
slonary to the Sandwich Islands, where
he remained till July, 1854, during which
period lac translated the Book ofMormon into the ia-
waiian language. Mr.. Cannon claims that on Dccem-
Der 7, 1854 he became duly natnralizcd as a citizen
of the United States and lie produces a certificate
signed by the clerk of the proper court IN Utah that
he was so naturalized but the Journal of the pro-
ceedings of the court fails to show the fact OF such
naturalization, as the laws of Utah require. IL is
therefore contendel. not only that Mr.. Cannons
cause issued in cOntTavcntiOn of law, but
that lie was not entitled in 1854 to a
certificate, because he had not contnu-
ousy resided in the United States during the
five years next preceding the date of its issuc but
had, in fact resided in the Sandwich Islands during
four years next preceding that time.
Another point which the Elections Committee
will be called upon TO consider is whether a man
who admits that he lives in open violation of law
Of he United States, the penalty for which is fine
not exceeding $500 aud imprisonment for a term
not exceeding five years, and who also admits he
has adv sed and taught others to violate that law,
is entitled to a seat 1T Congress. On page 60 of the
testimony appears the folowing
