Polygamy Question Dominates Utah Senate Debate
In Washington on December 11 Senator Durrowa led a three hour Senate session attacking Mormonism and Senator Smoot over polygamy ties. Burrows argued Smoot’s seat not legally vacant and condemned church influence in Utah politics. He asserted the hierarchy’s power, claiming polygamy persisted despite manifestos and state prohibitions, with Smoot defending his church duties.
