WASHINGTON, March 8.-John 7. Game
Delegate from Utah, made an argument
before the House Committee on Terri

Edmunds bill and the Cassidy bill in re-
lation to polygamy as unconstitutional.
He admitted the right of the government
to punish polygamv as crime if it de-
sired to so do, but nevertheless the Nor
mons believed it was right. He cited
| the example of the patriarchs in support
of their belief. Utah was barren waste
until the Mormons came and converted
it into it's present state of fertility. They
had helped to hold California during the
Mexican war and deserved consideration
from the government.

against infected cattle and infected dis
tricts and the determination of this
disease by the destruction of the animal
should the disease break out in the state.
Gov. Hale is in hearty accord with the
association and will use full legal author.
