Of the National Women's Christian
Temperance Union began with an adj
dress in the purity conference on the
dangers Of MOrmonism, by DR.. Sarah
Elliott Of New York, followed by a
further treatment Of the subject by
Mrs Maria Weed of Chicago.
The discussion Of resolutions took up

of the polygamy declaration was fixed
after an Oklahoma delegate objected
to the proposition that no more states
be admitted 20 the union until an anti
polygamy amendment 10 the national
constitution has been adopted Mrs.
Weed insisted that Senator Reed
SmoOt as an elder in the Mormon
church, is under the most solemn obi

poses of the Mormon church, which is
the overthrow Of the United States
government and the substitution Of an
other government which IS that of the
Mormon church The resolutions as
adopted follow:
Strong Resolutions.
"Since our work is one of formation
as well as reformation, we stand firm
ly for total abstinence for the individ-
ual
Believing that the liquor traffic is
morally wrong and, therefore, can
never be made legally right. we oppose
all forms of regulation and again
pledge ourselves to endeavOr 20 secure
such legislation as shall result in COM
Dlete prohibition.
I'VE stand for an equal code Of NOR
ais for women and men. and emphati-
cally condemn every system for the
regulation Of vice.
1--WE rejoice in the closing OF the
gates of the worlds fair on Sunday
and I'm other efforts being made to
purify St. Louis and further, we MEM
Orialize the mayor and city council to
make special effort to enforce the laws
of the city against houses used for
immoral purposes during the time Of
the fair.
1--WE believe that all Of the women of
the United States should vote on equal

RADIO, Idaho and Utah.
Broken Faith Charged.
1--WE believe that polygamy is both
taught and praCticed in the United
States. and that there is abundant
proof to sUbstantiate the claim that
Z Utah has broken faith with the United
States I'm this matter. We ask congress
to provide for an amendment to the con-
/ 2
prohibiting polygamy. We also believe
that an apostle Of the Mormon heir
archy can not be a lOyaH citizen Of
this republic, because Of his vows to
another organization separate and dis
tinct from the United States of
America and not subordinate to it, but
claiming superiority over it. we,
/ therefore. ask that Mr.. Reed SmOOt
, be excluded from the United States
/ senate on the ground that his highest
allegiance is given to a government
other than that of the United States.
I'VE believe this to be a civil ques-
( ton which should not be obscured by
religious or ecclesiastic claims.
