SHOOT AND BURTON.

Two United States senators were
given warning by the senate yesterday
that their expulsion was probably q
Reed Smoot, the senator from Utah,
the report of the committee on privi
leges and elections declaring that the
seat was vacant and calling for vote
of the senate on the report at this ses.
sion caused little surprise. A few
weeks ago the newspaper correspond.
ents at Washington intimated that
there was little probability Of the com.
mittee reporting before congress adj
journed, as it was the opinion of the
committee that not enough senators
were opposed to Smoot to GUST him.
1t was claimed that the senate did not
believe in mixing religion with poll
tics and that President Roosevelt after
an investigation of the merits of the
case was believed to be in favor Of the
retention of the senator from Utah. al
though he had made no formal express
sion Of his views. It was pointed out
that the senator himself had become
convinced that no action was to be
taken regarding his case at the pres
ent session and walked with more
elasticity of step and the general bear
ing of man at peace with and hon
ored by his fellow men instead of a
hunted expression that characterized
his actions year ago when the agita-
ton for his scalp was at it's height.
The action of the committee there
fore must have been a severe shock to
at least one man.
1t is not charged that there is any
thing in Senator Shoots private life
that would disbar him from right to
seat in the highest legislative branch
of the government. 1t is not claimed
that he is bigamist as was in the
case of Brigham Roberts several
years ago. His chief offense seems to
be that he is an officer in the Mormon
church which permits a violation of
the law in one respect.
Apparently for Utah to obtain rep
resentation in the senate it will be ne
cessary to select some man who is not
prominently identified with the Nor
mon church. In the past few weeks
the senate has been flooded with petit
lions from all over the United States
protesting against Smoot being al
lowed seat in the senate and many
church organizations by a unanimous
vote have memorialized the represen-
tatives in congress to GUST the Utah
senator. In view of the sentiment one
way or the other, throughout the coun-
try the vote Of the senate on the ques-
ton will be a waited with much inter-
est.

but they have their unpleasant fea-

which the king and queen OF Spain
were subjected while returning to the
palace after the wedding ceremony.
That the royal couple were not among
the twenty persons killed was due to
the fact that the course of the bomb
was slightly changed by striking a

for the democratic nomination for gov
ernor, but that he will likely with
draw, because Cummins is running so
well. "One democrat at a time is
enough for u.s." says the Democrat.
Governor Cummins is advocating
democratic doctrine and he Is good
enough a democrat for all the repub-
licans who want to vote for a demo-

democrat to vote for him, but the re-
publicans who want a republican with
democratic leanings will vote for Cum
