An amendment was added TO the

Senator Knox addressed the senate
in support of Reed Shoots title TO a

Utah. He strongly scored the report
of the committee on privileges and
elections which fayors ousting Smoot.
He insisted that nothing short of two
thirds vote of the entire senate mem
bership could unseat Smoot. Mr.
Knox insisted that Smoot should not
be expelled because of his Mormon
ism, as the United States had guar
anteed religious federation in Utah.
He should not be expelled even IL he
approves of polygamy. as the senate
should not go out of its way in defeat
ing Utah's choice. Mr.. Knox argued
that there is no federal law against
polygamy or polygamous cohabitation
applicable to Utah. He said he inten-
tionally referred to the proposed ac-
ton against Senator Smoot as expul-
sion as he did not think the senate
would seriously consider any question
involved except expulsion. He con-
tended that there is no question OF
Smoot possessing the qualifications
prescribed by the constitution, and
therefore he could not be deprived OF
his seat by majority vote
