any senator could "be excluded" by a ma

was never polygamous, but Mr.. Smoot had
admitted. he said, that relations to the
early leaders OF the church not only per-
mitted, but commanded polygamy. Mr..
smoot also had said he believed that mem
bers of the Mormon church did receive

revelation should come to him (Smoot)
