Ohio petitioners: There can be but one
attitude toward MOrmOnism. that is the
attitude of condemnation
One of the petitioners from New Jersey
wrote: There is power in prayer and in

The question of anti-Smoot petitions
was treated editOrially today by the New
former Senator HOar depTecating the use
of petitions to influence and intimidate
the senate in cases of this kind In clos
ing its editorial. the Sun said: IF Mr..
SmOot is disqualified for membership in
the senate. his disqualification rests on
the fact Of his membership in the Nor
mon church and the obligation he owes
to that organization, and not on prelu-
dice against that church that exists
among many worthy persons. In con-
siderinS his case the senate should be
guided only by the evidence that has
been produced against him. Carloads Of
petitions that have been got up against
him show a distinct plan TO intimidate
individual senators and sway their judg-
ment by introducing outside COnsidera-
such scheme will bear fruit and that
every senator will vote in the SmO0t
case on the evidence. and not in accord
ance with the prejudices of the respect
