that gentleman's remarks except this
that in the case of Mr.. Cannon the
house was dealing with a delegate from
a territory not the representative Of
the people of a sovereign state. They
were dealing with a delegate who was
created by a statute passed by the con-
grcss of the United States. And
throughout the discussion it was al
legged as a reason for taking exceptions
to him that they could do SO because
he was unprotected by the provisions
of the constitution. And vet, sir, not
withstanding he was but creation of
law, still they admitted him as mem
ber upon the floor of this house.

ton that, strange 10 say, the course OF

But the moment or shortly after my
departure they began this agitation,
resulting in the present sentiment of
the country now aroused against me.
The Only Charge.
Il call your attention next to the fact
that the only charge against me even
by the opponents of this resolution is
that of misdemeanor. They do not
charge felony. i understand that the
members Of congress are granted GER
tain privileges while in attendance up
on this house. 1t would be impossible
to arrest anyone of the members upon
the charge of a misdemeanOr. And yet
you would deny me the privilege Of be-
ing sworn as member OF this house
upon the allegation Of the existence of
some charge or other that | was guilty
of a misdemeanor. For the thing for
which the law itself could not lay a
hand on me while in attendance upon
this house, you PROPOSE speak of the
little coterie of men who have entered
into this conspiracy TO crowd this ques
tion to the front at this particular time
snd for the reason that they are fear
full that ~ the matter should go to a
consideration under a resolution to eX-
pei the member from Utah they could
not marshal the necessary two-thirds
vote to accomplish their purpOse-to
pass the present resolution.
"I understand, sir, that these immun-
titles are not given for the benefit of
the individual members. They are given
rather as a protection TO his constitu-
encv who are entitled to his services
as their representative. And therefore
invoke the protection that is given
to the constituency of sovereign state
against the proceedings that are inSti-
tuted here TO deprive me of the privi-
lege Of being sworn in as a member OF
this house. Privilege did say, sir? ]
am not asking any privilege in this
house. ! am not asking any favor of

shadow of the constitution of the

Not a Lawbreaker.

The second charge, which Is sup
posed to go to the question of elgibil-
lty OF the member from Utah, is that
upon affidavit and other papers in his
possession the gentleman from Ohio
says that ever since 1889 l have been
a persistent lawbreaker in the state Of
Utah. If that be true let me ask why
1t Is that / was not punished for law
breaking. Certainly there was no dis
position to execute the law on the part
or the people of Utah. Its administra-
tion was in the hands of non MormonS
of those who had no sympathy with
any of my religious faith. All the ma
chinery of the law was in the hands OF
appointees How is it then that / could
be an open and defiant lawbreaker and
yet escape the penalty of law?
The gentlemans objection then is
based not uDon court record but upon
affidavits and papers that have been
supplied him by the people. And now
as to the manner in which those
charges are made. It has been about
fifteen months since they hegan. since
the representative from Utah was her
aided throughout this land as a defiant
lawbreaker. And yet 7 walked the
streets of Salt Lake City i'm open day,
within easy reach % the law, and my
faults Law open to the law IL I We're
guilty of transgressing. Other men
We're arrested before the courts of Utah
and were fined for the very offense al
legged against me, and yet no complaint
was made against me. No, ii did not
suit the purpose of those who had this
present agitation in hand to vindicate
the law quietly and by the usual meth
DDS. They desired particularly to have
this case apparently to arouse the sem
timent of the country. Not until my
business called me east did they under
take to make any charges against me.

graph from McCreary on elections, con-
tanning a general caution against hasty
procedure in election contests, and con-
tinued:
Now, gentlemen, that is the state
ment of one whose book has authority
in this country. And if 1t is the rule
of the house of representatives in cases
that arise to the dignity Of a contest,
how infinitely more should that rule be
observed when only mere protest is
made against a member who presents
himself to take the oath of office.
Il next proceed to the consideration
of the charges that are supposed to JUS
tify what the gentleman from Ohio (Mr.
TaVler) himself comedies to be an un-
usual proceeding, and which my friend
on this side (Mr Richardson) has dem
onStrated to be an Unprecedented pro-
Ceeding. The gentleman from Ohio
bases his charge upon a court record;
that some twelve years ago, in the
midst of our conflict in the then terri
tory of Utah over the subject of polyg-
amy, that / pleaded guilty to a charge
of a misdemeanor The gentleman
seems to be Oblivious to the fact that
since the date of his court record on
this subject we have had two presiden-
tai amnesties proclaimed that have
Edmunds-Tucker act. I understand,
the gentlemen who were lawyers admit
this fact and they will certainly ap-
preCiate the cost of il.
THE gentleman from Ohio has no
court record to show that l was ever
arraigned or condemned Of crime what
soeVer since the PRONUNCIATION of am
neStY proclamation of the president of
the United States. The gentleman
seems also to forget the fact that since
the confession of that misdemeanor to
which he has reference there was
passed by congress an enabling act
authorizing the people of the state of
Utah to form a state government. That
act also had provision embodied in ii
that qualified all citizens within the
limits of the territory to become citi-
zens of the United States and was par
ticularlv framed to remove the dis
qualifications and disabilities which
have been created by the Edmunds-
Tucker law. The gentleman seems to
forget also that the state constitution
of Utah was satisfactory to the prosi-
dent and his advisers. and Utah has
been admitted as a state into the union
and has taken upOn itself the respon-
| sibilities of a sovereign state, declar-
ing under it's constitution people resid-
Ing in its borders shall exercise the
elective franchise and be qualified for
office as citizens of the great common
wealth.
