The Influence of Mormon
(By the Associated Press }

Washington, Feb. 5.-The discussion of
the Statehood Bill in the Senate today
turned on the question of polygamy. A
number of Senators who heretofore have
taken no part in the debate participated
in the discussion. Mr.. McComas had
started the debate yesterday by CRITICS
ing the pending bill as being too liberal
and when the subject came up today Mr..
Gallinger adverted to his remarks and
said that he was in favor of an amend
ment covering this question as strong as
could be drawn. The influence of the
Mormon church over politics occupied a
large share of the debate which Mr. Hale
characterized as interesting, valuable and
startling, because it had disclosed a pow
erful religious organization 'eXerting it
self as q dominant, potential force over
the mind and action of it's followers, which
should be taken into account in future
legislation.
Mr. Dubois, of Idaho, declared that no
polygamist could occupy any high politi-
cal place without the consent of the first
presidency of the Mormon church. The
same influence, he said, was exercised in

Idaho could control the Mormon people
whenever it so desires.
Mr. Hale replied that the matter was
dark element that cannot be penetrated
by the light that usually illuminates and
enliehtens communities in the states.
Mr.. Teller said the Mormon church Is
all powerful and that whenever II spoke
through its first presidency the grea'
body of the church responded to the de-
mand that was made.
Mr. Rawlins, of Utah, declared that the
Mormon church influence in politics III
Utah is an important factor.
Mr.. Spooner inquired if it was true that
the first presidency could dictate whether
or not a Mormon should hold high po-
litical office.
Mr. Dubois answered the question by
stating that no Mormon would run toI
a high political office without the consent
of the first presidency.
Mr. Rawlins said that when the APP
proval is given the man goes forth with
the benediction of the church.
while the other man. interjected Mr.
Hale rests under the frOWn of the
church"
Mr. Rawlins declared that there was
a large element which would overthrow
the church domination in the affairs o1
State because it was obnoxious to them
The disposition to do this, he said, is
growing, and that in Utah conditions
were improving. He admitted replying
to Mr.. McComas, that the ma ajority of the
Legislature are members of the Mormon
church, although he said, they have not
Disseminated against non Mormons or
religious grounds. If there is anything
in the spirit of American institutions
said Mr.. Hale, it is that it is never per-
missibe on the part of the authorities OF
religious organizations to exercise con-
troll in temporal matters over their fol-
lowers and to influence elections ''Ths
day has not been i'll spent" he declared
"in bringing out conditions that obtain
where the Mormon church has secured
its lodgment."
Mr. Quay said he was mot just now
prepared or authorized to accept an
amendment to the bill embodying the Ed
munds Law and applying it to Arizona
and New Mexico. The best way to settle
that question, he said, was to fix day
for vote on the BILL

after adjourned until tomorrow.
