Washington, Dec. 18.—Senator Du bois, of Idaho, In a speech In the senate tills afternoon urging that Reed Smoot bo driven from Ills seat, charged that President Roosevelt "knowingly and willingly” nlded the Idaho Mormons In the last state election. He declared that Governor Gooding, the Republican candidate for governor, as the recognized Mormon candidate, while his opponent, who is chief Jug tlce of Idaho, delivered the opinion re fusing the writ of habeas corpus for the three labor leaders charged with murder, stood on a radical Democratic platform opposed to Mormon dictation. 8ent His Man Taft. Notwithstanding this, he said, the president sent Secretary Taft Into Ida ho to rally the Republicans to the standard of Governor Gooding. "The non-Mormon citizenship- of Utah and of Idaho think they are enti tled to the' support of law-abiding citi zens everywhere In their efforts to maintain American citizenship in those Mormon states,” he declared, “and If they cannot receive that they have the right to demand that the presi dent of the united States shall not use the great power vested In. him In the t interests, of the daw-defying and un- . American organization." Defeated by Mormonlam. The senator stated that he had beon fighting Mormonlam for twenty-five years and had finally met defeat at lta hands. He declared that from Its In ception the church had been a menace to our form of government, and eald that every president, from Buchanan to McKinley, had called attention In their messages to congress to the necessity for tho most stringent legislation gov erning the practices of the Mormons, "I call attention to these messages o| the presidents," he said, "I* order to mark the contrast betwesn them and the present occupant of the White House. Mormonism Is more Insidious, more dangerous and a greater menace to our government qnd civilisation to day than It was at any particular period when these messages were ad dressed to congress. Yet President Roosevelt does deem the eubject worth: of mention In a message filled wltl suggestions. Charge Against Prssidsnt. "No president heretofore has made Mormonlam a matter of partisan poli tics. President Roosevelt has." Continuing, he said: "Those who followed tne testimony given In the Bmoot case cannot arrive |ut any other conclusion than that the a i .Mormon church constitutes a band of ** conspirators, whose aim Is to make the state subservient to the church. By being an apostle of the church Bmoot Is a member of this high conspiracy.” He said It made no difference wheth er Bmoot was or was not a polygamist. Is s Pillsr of Church. "He Is a pillar of the Mormon church," declared the senator. "His selection as an apostle and a senator Indicates conclusively Ills harmony with the life, teachings and practices of Joseph Binith, Lyman and other brother apostles, who, by their state ments and admissions, are openly liv ing In polygamous relations In defiance to law. "Senator Bmoot represents the church and not the state, and would do the bidding of the church before ae would eerve the real Interests of the' state or of Uie nation.” Polygamy Stilt Practiced. Senator Dubois spoke of the polyg amous relations which were being sus tained by the president of the Mormon church, Joseph F. Smith, and a ma jority of the 12 apostles of whom Sen ator Smoot Is one. • Ho referred to the contracting continually of new mar riages In a polygamous way and the manner In which It Is now carried on by the chuncii as a menace, being cele brated In Canada or Mexico or far enough away from land on the high seas to avoid the laws of the states. Arc Fighting ths Mormons. "In Utah,” said Senator Dubois, "there Is a Republican Mormon party and a Democratic .Mormon party, both equally controlled by the .Mormon hier archy. The American party In Utah la composed of Gentiles both Republicans and Dwmicrats.grho are battling there under the ver> "shadow of this tre- rneiuloue ccrlesJasllcaJ power for Amer ican citizenship, for the separation of church mid •talc and against the deg- tndatlnn of womanhood and home. "They have abandoned all hope of liollticdl preferment and suffer finan cially in their unequal struggle for tmerican prlnc'ples.
