ity report of the senate committee on
privileges and elections was present
ed today after an investigation last
ing two years. 1t says Smoot is not
entitled 10 his seat in the senate. 1t
contains the following:
"Tn the Judgment OF the committee
Senator Smoot is no more entitled to
his seat in the senate than he would
be If he were in polygamous cohabi
tation with plurality of wives. The
more deliberately the testimony taken
during the investigation is considered
the more irresistibly 1t leads to the
conclusion that the facts stated in the
protest are true and that Smoot is one
of the selfperpetuating body Of men
known as the first presidency and tae
~ apostles of the Mormon church;
that these men control the members
of the church in all things temporal,
and spiritual. and that this authority
is exercised 10 encourage the practice
of polygamy in defiance of the laws
OF Utah that the first presidency is
in con sol of the political affairs OF
Utah. aLd have effected their union,
chur, sad state. contrary to the con
stitution of the United States; that
Smoot comes here, not as the accred-
tied representative of Utah, but as
the choice of the hierarchy wnich
ursurped the function of the state in
Utah.
The minority report states that
Smoot is not a polygamist, hence Is
entitled to his seat After the report
was read Chairman Burrows an
nounced he would call it up for ac
tion as soon as the condition Of busl-
ness would permit.
