Indignation over Smoots tariff leadership in Senate
Washington Aug 2 special report: outrage among progressive and reactionary Republicans at Senator Smoot of Utah. He wields floor leadership and uses a protected tariff stance to push his agenda, alienating Gallinger and others who threaten to ally with Democrats to resist his Mormon influence. Smoot monopolizes tariff study, relabels documents, and irks older senators who fear party split over his leadership. A sharp clash mounts as a few lawmakers threaten bold steps if muzzled before final actions.
