Elgin Women After Smoot and Campaign for Expulsion
The National Woman's Christian Temperance Union launches a campaign to expel Senator Smoot of Utah from the U S Senate. About ten thousand letters are sent from the national headquarters at Evanston to local branches with petition forms urging Senate action for investigation of charges. The campaign asserts polygamy is a violation of state and federal laws and questions Mormon church authority over members in religious and social life.
