marriage and divorce within its jurisdic-
ton. or to vest in the United States any
power respecting the same within any
State
The report of the committee was read
and Mr.. Corliss spoke in behalf of the
resolution. Mr. Shackleford Of Missouri
moved to amend the resolution that it
would go no further than to prohibit
pOlygamists from entering Congress. The
resolution, as framed, he said, took from
the States the right to prescribe the quail
iications Of its own electors.
Mr.. King of Utah secured the floor, but
yielded some of his time to Mr.. Maddox
Of Georgia. who opposed the resolution on
the ground that it extended the authority
of the Constitution so as to invade the
rights of the States.
Mr. Ray Of New York thought that the
object of the resolution could be accom-
plished by writing in the Constitution two
lines making polygamy in the United
States unlawful He said he could not
understand the resolution, nor would any
judge be able to do so. He wanted it
committed to the Committee on the Ju-
dietary.
Mr. Grosveuor said it was unfortunate
that the resolution had come before the
House in its present form. Members whose
duty compelled them to antagoniZe it eX-
posed themselves to the accusation that
their objection to polygamy was not so
strong as it was a few months ago. He
was a better Democrat than some who
called themselves Democrats He did not
believe in the General Government con-
tinually marching over the lines of the
States He saw no need Of constitutional
amendment against polygamy. He did rot
believe in tinkering with the Constitution.
Mr.. Lanham was the next speaker. He
was as much opposed to pOlygamy as 9ny
other man. He thought that the reference
of this resolution 10 the Committee on
Election of President, Vice President end
Representatives in Congress was a mis-
take. He made motion to recommt the
resolution to the Committee on the Judi
Ciary, but. at the request of Mr.. SnOd-
grass of Tennessee, temporarily withdrew
that motion. that Mr.. Snodgrass might ad-
dress the House.
Mr. Snodgrass defended the resolution. !
He said that similar resolutions had been /
referred to this committee for years and /
had been reported to the House.
Mr.. Lanham then insisted on his motion ,
to recommit, which was put and carried.
