Gov Cutler Reticent on Smoot's Succession in Utah
Gov Cutler declined to discuss the Senate Privileges and Elections findings on Senator Smoot. He said it is too early to discuss the matter and would address it in due course if needed. There has been little discussion of a successor should the Senate affirm the committee’s findings. The upcoming regular session in January is noted, and it is commonly understood that Gov Cutler would appoint a senator to the unexpired term if a vacancy is declared.
