The proceedings opened with a short
skirmish to secure a division OF time among
those desiring TO speak for and against the
resolution. When Senator Hopkins sug-
gested division Of time there were many
negative observations among senators.

they have no parliamentary law, and I
object" said Senator Money.

doned and Senator Dubois took the floor in
opposition to Mr. SmoOt He charged that
senators supporting the Utah senator had
taken advantage of all the tactics Of special
pleading When he declared with emphasis
that Senator Hopkins had put the Mormon
church above all other Christian organiza-
tions Mr.. Hopkins sought to interrupt.

with some heat. you would not permit me
to interrupt you"

Misrepresentation shouted Mr.. Hopkins
while the vice president was endeavoring
to restore order.
