SAYS SMO0T IS A
VERY FINE GENTLEMAN
Mormon Hears First Speech In
His Defense and L Was
Made by Me-. Hopkins.
SENATE NO POWER TO IAPEAcH HIM
SENATOR from Illinois Lauds the Utah
Man as Christian, Kind Husband
and Good Parent-During His
Speech He Asked a Very PERTH
nent Question of the Members.
(By AssocIated Press.l

WASHINGTON, d. c., FAN. H.
The first speech IN defense of the
right of Reed Smoot to seat in
the Senate was delivered today by
Senator Hopkins of Illinois. MIR.
Hopkins took the position that Sen
ators were not federal officers to
the extent that the Senate could
pass upon their qualifications and
eligibility or impeach for high crimes
or misdemeanors. If n Senator was
to be punished it must be done by
the State or Federal courts. Only
Federal officers, he maintained,
were Improbable, and this impeach-
ment must be for acts committed
such Federal officers.
The precedent cited was the .un-
successful effort to impeach Sena.
tor Blount of Tennessee, charged
with reasonable correspondence with
foreign nation, more than one
hundred years ago. The conclusion
then, Mr.. Hopkins said, had never
been reversed and that the Senate
had no right to try the case ms
! Senator Blount was not an officer
of the United States. Referring d.
rectly to Mr.. Snoot, he continued:
lit is conceded by the chairman of
the committee on Privileges and
/ Elections that Senator Smoot poss-
esses all of the qualifications spoken
of in the constitution. 1t is also
conceded not only by the able
Chairman of this committee but |
1think all who are at all familiar
with the case, that Senator Smoot
is not a polygamist and has never
practiced polygamy; that he is a
man in his personal relations, as son,
husband, father and citizen above
reproach that in all of the rela-
tons of citizenship ne has Iiveu
n singularly pure life" He then
asked; why then shoufd he be
| expelled from this body, disgraced
and dishonored for life, a stigma
placed upon his children his. own
life wrecked and the happiness of
-'iS VINE NSStlOycu! Tie Is q Christ
| tian gentleman and his religious be.
lief as taken him to the chuch
of Jesus Christ OF Latter Day Saints
commonly called the Mormon
church."
Mr.. Hopkins sympathizei, he said,
with the denunciation of polygamy
made by Mr.. Burrows in his recent
speech. 1t was, he believed relic
of a barbarous age and a destroyer
of ideal American homes and he
,, had no sympathy with tie practice.
Never before in the history OF t,e
government" he declared, has the
previous life or career of n Senator
been called in question to detcrm.
Inc whether he should remain in
the Senate or not.
III members OF any Christian
church were to be charged with
all of the crimes that have been
committed in its name, where is the
Christian gentleman in this body
who would be safe in his seat?"
