WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-Ex-Delegate Cannon
OF Utah. has returned Washington and he talks freely
about the antipolygamy law and Its effects 10 S" io
porter he said The Edmunds law has had precisely nc

il would have; but he thought was too much toeeou

Complaining of the manner In which the law Is admin
stered Mr. Cannon said 1t has been made retroactive
Men are excluded from voting for acts alleged to have been
committed many years prior TO the enactment OF the
Edmunds law For instance, the ex-Mayor Of Salt Lake
City had once two wives but ia now wdOwer. He has
been DISTINGUISHED The present Mayor has but liv
ing wife, lie had another. VINO lived but short time.
IL is excluded from voting, though he like tse other

But the people OF Utah stand great deal OF OPP

and having endured much can endure much more.
There good many people in Utah besides Mormons,

with It's operation. They were disappointed. Their
scheme was to get entire control of the

latve Commission, if they can bring it about
Failing in that they will perhaps perpetuate the existing

chooses prevent legislation by his veto. Ivy insisting
upon legislation that the people cannot grant ln this

enemies OF the MOrmOns cry out about treason
but they cant point to single act OF that kind
lhey have tried provoke the MOmons into overt
act that would give pretcx for calling for troops, but
none such have been committed This Edmunds act was
well calculated TO such indignation would break
peaceful bounds but the people have borne with patience
and will bear on"
Mr. Cannon said he has present expectation Of being
