There In the keeneat interest shown In
the case. Tho action Of the Presbyterian
General Assembly In adopting resolutions
urging action by the senate on the Smoot
cass will be- followed by other religious
and social organizations, n next week
will probably be a record breaker In the
| matter Of petitions. The leaders In the
Senate who have been laborine 70 hrlng
about an early adjournment admitted to-
day that IL would be- impossible 70 prevent
debate on the Smoot case.
Among the inter esting stories circulating
IN the Senate corridors II one that the Nor
mon Church authorities have given an
intimation 10 the Republican Congressional
Committee that II action II taken adverse
TO Senator Smoot the ,esult will be. the Ioss
Of several members Of Congress in the inter-
mountain States, where the Mormon, vote
il strong. Whether. or not u q threat
has emanated from the Mormon authorities
IL In known that Republican Senators from
those States have said to the Senate leaders
that action adverse TO Senator Smoot would
be very bad politics for the Republicans
in the States where the Mormon vote is
a factor. II was TO this feature OF the case
that Senator Burrows referred in his inter
view published In The o to-day, in which
he asserted that politics was causing non
action in the case
Senator Sutherland, colleague Of Sen ator
Smoot. who is q gentle, but in favor OF
Shoots retention, expressed the opinion
to-day that Senator Smoot would do a wise
thing TO ask the Senate Committee to report
the case at this session and dispose OF 1t
to relieve the situation in his own State
and increase the usefulness OF the Utah
delegation in Congress. Senator Suther-
land believes Senator Smoot will win over
the p~rotestants, and has prepared the prin-
cipal speech to be delivered defending
Smoot.
