SENATOR SMOOT
MAY Be SEATED
VOTE ON 2oTH WILL PROBABLY
RESULT IN MORMON apps.
TIE BEING RETAINED.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Feb. Q. -
Reed smoot, the Mormon apostle in
the United States Senate, probably will
be declared entitled to retain his seat
in that body by the vote which is to
be taken on the goth instant.
This is the Consensus OF opinion of
members Of the Senate. A careful
canvass of the Senate has been made
and 1t indicates that smoot will win
by a substantial majority. despite the
unusually fierce fight which has been
made on him.
A good deal Of misinformation has
been disseminated regarding Senator
Shoots status both in the Senate
and in the Mormon church. He Is a
Mormon and he Is a member OF the
body Of twelve apostles Of that church.
These frcts have been established by
evidence taken by the Senate commit.
tee on privileges and elections. In.
deed, they are not denied by Senator
smoot himself.
Doesn't Practice Pofysamy.
Senator smoot himself is not a
polygamist. That fact also was es.
tablishea by the evidence taken by the
committee. Many statements have
been made in the newspaper press
and on the public platform charging
that Senator Smoot has been guilty
of plural marriage. These statements
were not sabstantiated before the
committee, in his report to the Senate.
expressly e%xonerated Senator Smoot
from The charge Of polygamy.
In that report Senator Burrows
said:
No Proof Of Plural Wives.
CAS- regards the charge that Mr..
smoot has a plural wife, the fact, If
proved, is conceded by Mr.. Smoot and
counsel to be sufficient to d~isquaiify
him from holding a seat in the Sen.
ate. But this accusation seems to
have been made by Mr.. Leilich mad
v%ertently and on his own responsible
ity, without any sufficient evidence in
support Of the same.
Stands Acquitted Of Polysamy.
