The concluding argument for the pros
ecution in the case OF Senator Smoot
was made before the Senate Committee
on Privileges and Elections by John c.
Carlisle this morning. He spoke before
the full committee. with the exception
OF Senator Depew, and an audience
that crowded the committee room. More
than half those in attendance We're
women. who took exceptions when Mr.
Carlisle in the course OF arguing u legal
proposition pointed out with great earn
estness that the policy of this country
assumed that idiots. lunatics. insane yer
sons and women We're incompetent to
take part in the affairs of government.
This statement was received by the Ia
dies with such audible manifestation of
disapproval that a laugh ran through
the male portion OF the audience iEclud-
Ing the committee and the speaker was
compelled 20 turn 20 the ladies and make
his apologies.
Mr.. Carlisle devoted the opening por-
ton of his argument 10 a summary OF
those parts Of the evidence against
Senator SmOot and concerning the gen
eral scheme and policy OF the Mormon
Church. which he considered most use
full for his purposes. His end was 70
demonstrate that by reason OF his a5-
herence to this church he was disouali-
fed for the duties OF a Senator.
Then. leaving this portion OF the ar
gument. he turned to the question OF
law, and discussed whether il is pos
sible for the Senate now to exclude
Smoot from membership by a majority
vote on the ground that he was dis
qualified for membership when he first
presented himself TO its bar, or whether
he might be expelled by a twO-thirds
vote

Senate Lawyers Disagree.

In tLis latter part of the argument
he found himself in frequent disagree
ment with the views of the lawyer Sen
ators on constitutional and legal ques-
tions. Questions which were asked by
Senator's Knox, Foraker, and Bailey
particularly indicated their grave doubts
AS to whether Smoot can now be ex-
cIuded by less than a two-thirds vote.
In opening his argument Mr. Carlisle
took up the belief of the Mormon church
in direct revelation from God TO the
leaders of the church, and pointed out
that such belief must greatly influence
the people, and that influence must be
borne in mind in every consideration of
their mental attitude. As matter of
fact, he said spiritual and temporal af-
fairs are so closely interrelated in the
Mormon mind that the people are una
Nole TO discriminate between them Thus.
for example. the Institution of marriage
is in all civilized countries a civil iuSri-
tuition; il falls within the domain of
the state, not the church. Yet for many
years the MOrmonS have believed that
a divine relePatiOn concerning marriage
has authorized or commanded the men
permits
The Divine Revelation.
To show how far this belief in di-
vine revelation affects these people, Mr..
Carlisle quoted from the standard
works Of the church. and the accepted
commentaries thereon. He described
the different orders OF priesthood and
then took up the constitution of the
presidency of the church, and of the
quorum Of the twelve apostles. who are
accepted as the special witnesses of the
name Of Christ in all the world. Sem
ator Smoot, he said, testified that the
apostles exercise no authority, but
