SMOOT CASE IS
UP TONIC ROW
Takes TwO=ThirdS Vote to
UnSeat the Utah
Senator
Special to Evening Teller.

Special to Evening Teller.
WASHINGTON. d. c.. Feb. 10
The fate of Reed Smoot will be de-
trrmined tomorrow. when the senate
viii vote to determine whether he sran
b" accepted as a representative of
Utah in that body.
The indications are that the senate
vote will be expressive OF their CONT
donce in Mr.. Smoot The opposition
however. is carrying the fight 10 the
last ditch and is hopeful that tie
vote will be against the Utah man
1t takes a two-thirds vote to exHel
from the United States senate. As
the senate is nearly two thirds reIub-
lican, this means that all ~ demo-
Gratis and half the republicans would
have to vote to turn Smoot
There is little in the private
ment to indicate that any sucn degree
of opposition to Mr.. Smoot exists.
Allegations Of His Enemies.
If Smoot is unseated it will be be-
cause he is a member Of the governing
board of the Mormon church. It is
alleged by Senators Burrows, Dolli-
yer, Bailey, Pettus and others who
would unseat him, that by Pc.
acts he has, as a member Of the quo
rum Of the twelve apostles given aid
and support to the hierarchy in its
defiance of the laws of his own state
and of the general government
1t is alleged that he as a member Of
the inner circle of apostles has in
directly, if not directly, encouraged
polygamy. Many persons have re-
ceived the impression that Senator
Smot has been guilty of potygamy.
but this is entirely CHROME ous. The
fact is that the committee of the SEN
ate which by a vote of seven TO i've
reported in favor of unseating the SEN
ator exonerated him from the charge
of polygamy.
Claims Of the Defense.
The defenders Of SenacT Smoot ad-
NIT that as one of tn Is men cUnsti-
tuting the ruling authority IF the
Mormon church he Rlle " that poly
gamy was being practiced by some IL
the officials of thu church, hui. they
insist, the influence Cf Smoot las been
steadily in favc~ forms in the
church. 1t Is av.iG ina through lis
effort the ch 40: has oeen brought to
much hist i,;An'
The political phase of the situation
Is not without interest. The demo-
Gratis assert that the republican party
and the Mormon church is in an alli-
ance in Idaho, Utah and perhaps N
others of the Rocky Mountain states,
and believing this, apparently, most
Of the democrats intend to vote 10
unseat Smoot.
1t is alleged from time to time that
there is an agreement among the re-
publicans and the Mormon leaders
that Smoot shall not be unseat'al. The
republican leaders declare theI is
no truth in the story.
