Washington, Jan. 23-Enormous
crowds were present today to witness
the opening debate in the Roberts
case. Fully three-fourths of the
spectators were women. The majori.
ty resolutions. to exclude Roberts,
and the minority resolutions, to per
nit him to be sworn in and then ex-
PEELED, were laid before the house
without any agreement as to vote.
Taylor, of Ohio, opened in support of
the majority resolutions,
Taylor was emphatic in his asser-
tions that exclusion was in harmony
with precedent; expulsion, in viola
tion of it. He amplified the three
grounds for Roberts's exclusion;
First, because of his violation of the
Edmunds act; second, because he was
living in open, fiagrant, notorious
violation Oh the statutes Of the con-
gress he seeks to enter; third, be
cause his election was violation of
the compact by which Utah was adj
mitted into the union. Littlefeld, of
Maine, on behalf Of the minority
committee, spoke for the minority's

keeping Roberts out of congress.
The only question was as to keeping
him out in an orderly and regular
manner. If the laws and the consti-
tuition were over-riden then the way
would be open to override them next
year by excluding a member because
he was an adulterer or a represents
tive of trust.
