8th & Main SMOOT SPEAKS III HIS 01 DEFENSE Mormon Senator Sets Forth Reasons Why He Should Retain His Seat. POLYGAMY IS CONDEMNED SPEAKER DECLARES HE IS BOUND BY NO OBLIGATION TO CHURCH IN DEROGATION TO HIS DUTY AS SENATOR. .Publishers' Prcs.J TV ashing ''.' Senator Smoot made hia long expected speech on his own case in the senate Tuesday. He spoke only about half an hour. He read his address from a desk In the center of the senate chamber. The speech was devoid of oratorical effort, and the senator's voice was at rio time raised much above the conversational tone. There was only a fair attendance of senators, and the galleries were half filled. Speaking in his own defense before th senate. Reed Smoot of "Utah condemned polypamy in the strongest terms, declared polygamy does not exist in Utah.and insisted that he hai never taken an. oalh as apostle in the church which .would in any way prevent him from discharging the duties of senator and citizen with the utmost fidelity. He said he never had int one wife, and would not think of firing his official or personal sanction to any other arrangement in the ease of other members of the Mormon hurch. In support of his contention that polygamy is a dead letter amons Mormons, Smoot took up is great detail the early campaign against the practice by the government, and the lacit agreement on the part of the church to abandon it. The Mormons, be said, at first defend their right in this respect as part of their religion. Finally, wishing to obey the law of the land, they agreed to stop the practice and in 1S30 a manifesto was Isned discontinuing plural marriages. Not only are there no more plural marriages, insisted Smoot, but Mormons in charge of tho Utah courts alays have rigorously prosecuted any members of their church gu51ty thereof, though forebearance on the part of the. prosecuting office resulted in

leaving as tney were I'ae puijganiou-s relationships consummated prior to the 1S90 manifesto. Since that time, however, the civurch has steadily refused to recognize any form ether than monogamy, and families 'where there is more than one wife are altogether of the beard dispensation. As an illustration of how obsolete polygamy is becoming in the church, Smoot said that of the seven apostles chosen since 1SS0, six are monogamists. "While admitting the possibility of some polygamous marriages bfing made since the manifesto, Smoot declared the cases to have been rare and without the church's sanction. In only one instance, he declared, has there been a direct proof of such plural marraige, and this occurred in a Mormon colony in Mexico. This was in defiance of the commands of the church. Referring to the alleged treasonable features of the Mormon endowment ceremony, Smoot declared that rite to be entirely religious in character, and calculated to breed love of country rather than disloyalty. Being secret, the rite is not divulged to outsiders, but at the same time there is nothing therein preventing a Mormon from being loyal to the United States. As an instance of how the Mormons love their country, Smoot told of the large number of soldiers furnished by Utah in the civil and Spanish wars. The commander of the Utah light infantry, he said, was a Mormon, and had taken part in the endowment ceremony, yet there was no more loyal soldier than he. Characterizing "beirarchal" domination as a myth, Smoot drew a picture of the country's future. Built on a foundation of religious tolerance, he said, the nation would grow and prosper despite the direful prophecies of those who always find crises menacing the life of the republic. The government is here to stay and to triumph over every obstacle. In closing, he said: "Let me say under my obligation as a senator that I have never taken any oath or obligation, religious or otherwise, which conflicts in the slightest degree with, my duty as a senator or as a citizen. I owe no e1legfance to any church, or any organization, which ia any way interferes with my supreme allegiance In civil affairs to my country an allegiance which I freely, fully and gladly give." Mr. Smoot was warmly congratulated by some senators wiren fce tok his seat. He was followed imm?diat!y by Senator Dillingham, who made an argur-- ' ' . . " "-no Miss Winchester is Back.
