Senate Contests Smoot Seat With Mormon Church Rhetoric
Reports from the Senate Privileges and Elections Committee split on Reed Smoot’s eligibility. The majority accuses the First Presidency and Twelve Apostles of Utah of endorsing polygamy and church control over state affairs, while the minority holds Smoot qualified. Both reports were filed without comment, delaying a vote.

Beveridge Defends Meat Inspection Plan Amid Budget Debate
Senator Beveridge of Indiana explains the meat inspection amendment to the agricultural appropriation bill. He argues the amendment is constitutional and necessary, saying 92 percent of products are already inspected and healthy, while the remaining 8 percent will be produced under strict sanitary conditions. He warns government funding would undermine the measure’s objective and dismisses reports of presidential compromise as unfounded.

Republican Votes Sought on Rate Bill
The Republican whip Watson of Indiana urged all absentees to attend today’s House session to vote on a special rule. He aims to send the railroad rate bill back to conference without amendment, delaying the rule to secure a clear Republican majority. The rule would return the bill to conference with forty minutes of debate on the rate and no debate on the conference report. A companion note reports the Senate Judiciary Committee backing a House bill amending section 64 of the bankruptcy act to grant preferred creditor status to traveling salesmen over workers and clerks.
