AS AN EMISSARY
OF THE
SENATE COMMITTEE TELLS
WHY HE SHOULD BE OUSTED.
It Is Declared That Church of Lat
ter Day Saints Runs the
State of Utah.
By Private Lenseri Wire.
Washington, June 1J.—The majority
report of the senate committee on priv
ileges and elections presented to the
senate today finds that Reed Smoot Is
not entitled to a seat in the senate as
a senator from Utah.
The majority report says that these
farts are established:
"That Mr. Smoot Is one of a self-
perpetuating body of men, known as
the first presidency and twelve apos
tles of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints, commonly known as
the Mormon church; that these men
claim divine authority to control the
members of said church, In all things,
temporal as well as spiritual; that this
authority Is and has been for several
years past, so exercised by the said
first presidency and twelve apostles as
m encourage the practice of polygamy
and polygamous cohabitation In the
state of Utah and elsewhere, contrary
to the constitution and laws of the
atate of Utah and the law of the land.
"That the said first presidency and
twelve apostles do now control, and for
a long time past have controlled, the
political affairs of the etate of Utah
and have brought about In eald state
a union of church and atate, .contrary
to the constitution of the United States,
and said Reed Smoot comes here, not
as the accredited representative of the
state of Utah, but as the choice of the
hierarchy which controls the church
and has usurped the functions of the
stale In said state of Utah.”
It Is charged "that Smoot Is an In
separable part of the governing body
of the Mormon church and those who
compose that organization form a unit,
an entity,' and whatever Is done by
that organization Is the act of each and
every man therein.”
And this concluslonMs reached:
"In the judgment of the committee
Mr. Smoot It no more entitled to a seat
In the senate than he would be If he
were associating In polygamous cohab
itation with a plurality of wives. Not
only Is Mr. Smoot one of those by and
through whom the political affairs of
Utah are dominated,' but his election
lo the senate, It Is believed, la. the re
sult of such domination."

lie discussed th* political situation
generally, however, and In the course
of a talk, said:
"Before leaving home, 1 tried to die-
tlngulah between Democracy and what
can properly be called Socialism. Deni
ocracy recognizes competition a* le
gttlmate and tries to protect the com
petltive principles from attack. So
cialism sees competition as an evil to
be eliminated by public ownership and
the operation of all means of pro
duction and distribution. *.
"While thle distinction between Dem
ocracy and Socialism should not be
overlooked, the platform of the Dem
ocratic party must be one of progress
and reform, and not merely of opr—
ittlon to Republican pollclts or Bool
Istlc Ideas. In our fight for the abso
lute elimination of private monoplle*
and for the regulation of corporation*
In general. It Is necessary that the par
ty sKalt be free from any suspicion of
an alliance with the corporate Inter-
eats that have been dominating Amer
ican politics."
Speaking of the packing house
revelations, he said:
The beef trust Is not different In
character and methods from other
trusts. The Inevitable tendency of a
private monopoly Is to Increase the
price of a produce and to lower It*
quality. Why should any one expect
anything else from a trust .than the
lowering of the quality when a monop
oly le established? Observe, I have
uaed the word* private monopoly, not
public. In a private monopoly, a pri
vate Interest Is set up against the peo-
f ils. Quite a different principle comes
nto operation when the Interest of all
Is alone In view/'
