FRANK ]. CANNON
SON OF MORMON
Leader And Formerly U. s.
Senator is Hammering the
Norman Elders for Vio-
lation of Their Trust.
BY United Press Wire.


New York, Dec. 20 THAT the cid
ers of the Mormon church positively
promised among themselves to aban-
don plural marriages following the
Intervention of President Cleveland
to protect them from persecution, is
the statement of former United States
Senator Frank J. Cannon in the cur
rent Everybodys Twenty-six Of the
Mormon hierarchy participated In the
meeting in President Wilford Wood
ruffs office and all agreed that there
had been a revelation from God
against the practice. Describing the
manner in which Woodruff explained
his views to the elders, Cannon
writes:
1--WE have sought to live our re-
ligion-to harm no one--to perform
our mission in this world for the SAL
vation of the living and the dead. We
have obeyed the principle of celestial
marriage because ii came to us from
God. The holy spirit has revealed
to me that the church must relinquish
that practice for which the brethren
have been willing to lay down their
lives"
Cannon says the elders protested
against abandoning their wives and
children but finally agreed that
manifestation from God could not be
disregarded. In conclusion Cannon
says:
"I fnew then. and I know now,
that they were at that moment sim
cere And i'm the degraded after years
when SO many Of them were guilty of
breach Of covenant and base viola
ton of trust. l tried never to forget
that they had sacrificed themselves
for their people"

from him.
My grandmother sat down and
