pie empowered to do the right as we
see it. The public eye is upon us, the
public conscience quickens us. In that
presence we can do no wrong if we do
but obey it,"
Mr.. Richardson, the minority leader,
followed Mr. Taylor. He did not intend
he said. to discuss the merits of the
case. The question in issue was as to
whether the epersentative-elect, Rob
erts, had a prima facie right to his
seat. He was not willing to reject a
representative elect who appeared at
the bar of the House with his creden-
tials in due form. If he was denied ad-
mission a precedent would be created
which would rise to plague the House
in years to come. The only constitu-
tional objection raised against the
member-elect related to his naturaliZa-
ton and that, Mr.. Richardson assert
ed, would not hold. He defied the other
side to produce a single precedent
where objection was raised to the ad-
mission of the oath, except on excep-
tional grounds. He was willing to say
that If the charges against the mem
ber-elect were proven, he should favor
his expulsion"
Mr.. Roberts himself took the floor in
his own defense after Mr.. Richardson
uous place Immediately in front Of the
clerks desk. Several legal volumes
were piled UP in front of him and a
bouquet of carnations lay upon his
desk. The most intense interest was
manifested as he arose.
Members crowded about, but were
compelled to retire to their seats. The
galleries We're hushed. The occupants
leaned over to listen, ager to let no word
escape. Mr.. Roberts first sent to the
clerks desk and had read his natural
ization papers. He then began to
speak. His voice was soft and low, but
his enuuciation was distinct and in the
stiffness could be heard to the farth-
est corner of the hall. AS he got into
his argument, however, his voice grew
louder until, on several occasions, it
rang out until the fretted ceiling over
head gave back the echo.
Proceeding he took up the charge that
Utah had broken her compact with the
United States by the election of an al
| legged polygamous representative. If
that was true, he said then Utah had
simply followed the illustrious example
of the present national administration.
II affirm" said he, that there is
abundant evidence that objections sim
! liar TO those in the present case were
|
Senate against the appointment Of GER
| tain federal officials in Utah, but the
objections We're waived aside"
do you mean to say that polygamists
were appointed to federal office in Utah
by the present executive?" inquired Mr..
Hopkins (rep., Illinois,.
with the knowledge of the presi-
dent" added Mr.. Grosvenor, quickly,
amid some laughter on the democratic
side.
when men were applicants for fed
eral office in Utah" reiterated Mr.. Rob
erts, objections were made and aff1-
Idavits were filed both with the president
and Senate, but nevertheless the ap-
pointments were made"
THAT does not answer my question, :"
observed Mr.. Hopkins.
Mr.. Roberts urged that the case
ought to go to the judiciary committee.
where it could be investigated. He
