Mormon, offered an amendment
providing that all other sexual
offenses as we'll as polygamy and
unlawful cohabitation be made a
subject for special legislation in
Idaho, state which has no law
against adultery or any similar
offense. Mr.. Poole said he wanted
to test the good faith of the social
ed anti -Mormons. His challenge
was promptly accepted by Mr..
Pence, who agreed to accept the
Poole amendment provided the
other side would withdraw all
objection to the paragraph under
discussion. Mr.. Poole was clearly
in hole. He said he didn't think
it would be Democratic to ask
congress to confer with the states,
and finally sat down amid laughter.
