Perkins Defends Smoot as Senate Debates Statehood and Indian Affairs
The Senate set aside the Statehood bill and discussed Mormonism, pure food labeling, and Five Civilized Tribes affairs. California’s Mr Perkins urged Smoot’s seat, while Mr Money pressed amendments to the pure food bill and Mr Dubois led discussion on tribal settlement and the Hamilton-Beveridge plan. Hale announced the urgent deficiency report. Indian bills for the Chickasaw, Cherokee, Choctaw, and Creek nations were postponed. Tillman pressed investigations of corporate campaign contributions, seeking hearings. Tubman pledged cooperation. A probe into liquor labels and a proposed amendment on a blended whiskey formula sparked debate, with owners objecting to packaging requirements. The session also referenced a Panama Canal engineering report and a correction to a 1898 street parking act.
