ator Burrows has devoted much of his
time for two years to the case.
OF course under normal conditions
there would be not the slightest chance
in the word for the reelection of Du-
bois to succeed himself as senator
from Idaho. Mr.. Dubois set, his heart
upon coming back to the senate. He
must have an issue of an extraordinary
sort to enable him to do business. The
case of Mr.. Smoot supplied the issue
or at least was supposed to supply 1t.
Already in certain quarters when the
Smoot matter is discussed in the SEN
ate, privately, such a remark as the
following is heard: well, no matter
what may be done, Fred Dubois will
make capital out of the situation"
Tricks That Are Vain.
That the masses of the people who
have petitioned the senate to expel the
Utah senator are inspired by motives
of conviction is absolutely contain. On
the other hand it is equally certain
that designing politicians have been
using the masses and making use of
certain machinery in Washington to
further political ends. This is nat
saying that Senator Dubois is not
honestly opposed to permitting Smoot
to retain his seat in the senate, but
there are large number of senators
who take the view that If Idaho were
a democratic state and Mr.. Dubois
stood to succeed himself as senator
without a special issue, that he would
not take so keen an interest in the
mormon senator
Senator Teller stated the whole
case admirably when he said that this
was serious matter involving ques.
lions of fact and law and that the
determination of the senate should be
based on facts and the law rather
than upon popular clamor. There
ought to be no controversy upon the
proposition that if Reed Shoots con
duct before or since his admission to
the senate makes his presence in that
chamber repugnant to the senate, he
should be expelled, and if the facts
demonstrate this there should be nc
difficulty in getting a two-thirds vote
to expel him. 1t is a well-known fact
however, that the administration and a
very large number of senators declare
Smoot has not been guilty of such an
offense.

senate. Notwithstanding that Bailey
and Oyerman, both members of the
committee on privileges and elections
are in favor of the expulsion of Smoot
neither of them believes he can be ex-
Guided; that in fact he has never been
a senator. They desire that Smoot
should be ousted from the senate, but
they insist it shall be done in an or
will not involve the senate in pre-
cedent that will raise up at a future
time to produce trouble.
Senators Knox, Dillingham;, Hopkins
and other able lawyers in the senate
take the ground that Smoot is a SEN
ator in every sense of the term; that
he has for three years participated in
all the functions Of senator and that
the only method of BUSTING the Utah
man is to expel him.
Legality the Only Question.
OF course the senate will first de-
termine that proposition and it will
be fully and ably argued. If the SEN
ate decides that Smoot may be cx-
Guided, then the Mormon is a goner,
as there is no doubt Of a majority vote
against him. If the decision of the
senate is against the exclusion prop
osition, then Smoot will continue to
hold his seat until March 4, 1909, the
end of the term to which he was
elected.
It is an open secret in Washington
that the main object of the effort to
GUST Smoot is to enable Fred T. Du.
bois, democratic senator from Idaho
to be returned to the senate in place
of a republican The prime mover
and chief worker in the campaign
against Smoot has been Mr.. Dubois
His energies have been directed to
that end during the past three years
and particularly during the past two
years since it became evident that
Idaho is permanently a republican
state.
