Special TO The Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Jane 29.-Presldent
Joseph +. Smith and Bishop Nibley left
this e"ening at 6:45 on the Pennsyl.
vania for Salt Lake and expect to reach
there Sunday afternoon Today Presi.
dent Smith is reported by the Washing
ton Times as saying:
81 am Just an ordinary man taking
an interest in public affairs, working
for living, but with perhaps a his
tory, the telling of which would con.
surle too much Of your time, There is
one thing, however, l would like to
impress upon those who seem to know
little about the Mormon church. One
OF our teachings is the belief of work

living the same as any other man
so do the bishops of the church. Work
and thrift are among the fundamental
teachings OF our religion. We beleve
IN raising everything we can at home.
We believe In sustaining ourselves and
one another.

great that he cannot do honest toll
This applies to men, women and chill
drcn.
How Is woman suffrage working
in Utah?'' President Smith was asked.
''Oh, it seems to be working fne," he
answered. "Tho women seem to like
to vote, and il appears to be for the
good OF the state. | would not be sur.
prised to see woman suffrage extend
eastward. We were the pioneers, you
know, in establishing suffrage for the
opposite sex. Just as weGwere the pio-
neers in the development of the beet
sugar industry and in claiming the ter
ritory Of Utah, then belonging to Mex
leo, as part of the United States,
Soon after the Mormons settled at Salt
Lake they planted the stars and stripes
on cliff overlooking the city, and at
that time 500 Mormon volunteers were
engaged in the trouble with Mexico.

denunciatory of Mr. Roosevelt S alleged

Mr.. Earle spoke with such emphasis
that he offered TO apologize If the com

Mr.. Earle said he had offered to de.
bate the issue with Roosevelt in New

the opportunity to overwhelm'' him.
He said he had approached Mr., Roose-

LoRIMER LAsHED BY BROWN
Nebraskan Threatens to Hold Up Ap-
preparation Bills If Vote on Scan
dai Is Not Ordered.

Washington--Senator Norris Brown
Of Nebraska in speech before the sem
ate charged that Senator William Lor-
inner of Illinois must have known that
his election to the senate by the ILL.,
nois legislature was accomplished by
corrupt practice. He held that Sena-
tors Holstlaw and Broderick and Rep
resentatives Lee O'Neil Browne,
White. Link. Beckemeyer and Wilson
had been bought to elect Lorimer sem
ator: that Browne and Speaker Ed
ward D. Shurtleff of the Illinois house
Of representative were the political
agents Of Mr.. Lorimer in accomplish
ing his election, and that it was not
possible for the election to ha' been
brought about under the conditions
then existing except by corrupt prac-
tees. Mr.. Brown devoted most of his
remarks to an analysis of the testi-
nony which involved directly the rela-
tons of Lorimer, Shurtletf and
Browne and the relations of Browne
with his thirty minority followers. Mr..
Brown issued a challenge to obstruc-
tionists that he would hold up appro-
priarion bills unless the senate votes
at this session on the Lorimer case,
the resolution pertaining to the cleo
ton of senators by the people. the bill
to create permanent tariff board and
q general service pension bill.
