| heretofore stated. to the Senate and to
the country, that | am not and never
have been a polygamist [ have never
had but one wife and she is my present
wife. There has been a more or less pre-
valent opinion that the doctrine of poly
gamy was obligatory upon the members
of the Mormon church, whereas in truth
and fact, no such obligatory doctrine ever
has existed The revelation concerning
polygamy, as originally made and as al
ways interpreted is permissible and not
mandatory. AS a matter of fact, only a
small percentage of the adherents Of that
faith have ever been poygamists.
THE Mormon people, however, regarded
this doctrine as part of their religious
faith, and when the law was passed de-
nouncing its practice, the execution of the
law was resisted on the ground that it
was unconstitutional as being an inter-
ference with their religious liberty. APP
peals were taken to the highest courts of
the land, every phase of the subject was
tested in the courts and the law was
upheld. Then the church, in 800, adopt
ed the manifesto against polygamy, which
was ratified by the general conference OF
the people and thereupon the practice of
polygamy for the future was abandoned"
When the change came there were
2451 male members of the Mormon
church who had polygamous families.
There are now not over five hundred
polygamous families in Utah.
To have expelled Smoot under such

are that if Reed Smoot had been
democrat he would have been expelled
by two thirds vote of those present.
