Church began here Friday. with more
than 1000 Latter Day Saints present in
the Tabernacle at the opening session.
Apostle and United States Senator
Smoot, whose absence from the pre-

of Mormons to be 'gulled into con-
tracts under ironclad notes." and urged
his followers to live so that they will
have means on hand, instead of their
means being in the hands of Others"
