PLURAL WIVES PROVOKE TALK Senate Has Suggestion to Amend Statehood BIll o as to Stop Polygamy. WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-—Discussion of the statehood bill In the senate today turned on the question of polygamy. A number of sennters who heretofore have taken no part in the debate participated in the discussion. Mr. Gallingher.(N. H.), re- plylng (o some statements made by Mr. |'McComas, (Md.), eaid be was in favof of an amendment to the statehood. bill covering the question of polygamy as strongly.and firmly as possiblé. The influence of the Mormon church, over politics occupled a large share of the de- bate. Mr. Hale (Me.) characterized the de- bate as interesting, valuable and startiing because it had disclosed a powerful relig- fous organization ‘“exerting itself as a dominant, potential force” over the mind and action of its followsrs which should be taken Into account in future legislation. Mr. Kean (N. J.), who had intended con- tinuing his remarks begun yesterday in opposition to the bill, ylelded the floor so often during the day that before he re- sumed the senate went into executive se sion and adjourned a few minutes after- ward. During the consideration of morning busi- ness a bill was passed authorizing the Pittsburg, Carnegle & Western Rallroad company to construct a bridge across the Allegheny river at Pittsburg. Mr..Quay (Pa.) then objected to the pas- sage of any further bills by unanimous con- sent. Mr. McCumber (N. D.) moved to con- sider the pure food bill passed by the house and on a yea and nay vote the motion pre- valled—40 to 18. The bill was read and an amendment was | agreed to providing that nothing in th act should apply to substances or materia manufactured and sold exclusively for u in the arts and industries, but only when manufactured add sold as drugs or foods. Consideration was not concluded at 2, when the statehood bill came up. The debate on the statehood bilk turned on polygamy.' Mr. McComas (Md.) started it yesterday by criticising the bill as being | too Iibe-al. Mr. Gallinger (N. H.) replying sald he was willing that as strong an amendment as could be drawn prohibiting polygamy should be inserted in the bill. Mr. Dubois (Ida.) declared that no polyg- amists cauld occupy any high political place without the consent of the first presidency of the Mormon church. The same influ- ence, he said, was exercised in New Mexica and Arizona. Idaho could control the Mor- mon people ‘whenever it so desires. If the Mormon people should openly, through their first president, fnterfere in the politics of Idaho he would guarantee to distranchise very Mormon in one campaign. Mr. -Teller (Colo.) declared the Mormon | church all powerful and said whenever it spoke through its first presidency the gréat | body of the ohurch-responded to the-de- mand that was made. Mr. Rawlins (Utah) mentioned the proc- Tamation of the head of the Mormon church in 1880 declaring for a cessation of poly-, the Mormon church out ving Mormons free to olitictl" preference as they fit. ‘Ther , he #ald, opposition’ to the -administration of; Utah as a state. was rémitved. . He simitted, however, that the Mormon influence in Utah politics still was an im- portant factor. Mr. Spooner. (Wis) inquired if it was true that the first presidency could dictate whether or not a Mormon should hold a high political office. Mr. Dubois said no Mormon would run for & high political office without the con- sent of the first presidency. Answering Mr. Spooner, Mr. Rawlins said he did not care to give an opinion as to whether the full scope of chutch power ever came to the knowledge of the public, but he eclared that there was a large element which would over- throw the church domination in the affairs of the state because it was obnoxious to them. The disposition to do this wal growing, and in Utah conditions were im- proving. Replylng /to Mr. McComas, he admitted that & majority of the legislature were members of the Mormon church, although they had not discriminated against non- Mormons on religious grounds Mr. Hale remarked that the debate had béen {nteresting, valuable and startling. It had disclosed a powerful religlous organi- zation exerting itself as a dominant poten- tial force over the mind and action of its tollowers. “It is the power to bind and loose,” said he, “If there fs anything in the spirlt of the .American Institutions he con- tinued, “that It s never permissible on the part.of the authorities of religlous organizatiops to exercise control In tem- poral matters over their followers and to influence elgctions. This day has not been 11l spent In bringing oyt conditions that ohtan. where the Mormon church has se- cured Jt§ lodgmient. . “The lessons of the day ought to sink Into the minds of serdtors and be taken into account {n future legislation.” Mr. Patterson (Colo.) sald the chief de- sire of the Mormons was to remain in favor with the party in power. But he de- clared that If any sect was large enough snd strong enough to become a political factor in the country, it would pursye the same course as_the Mormon chureh. Mr. McComas cited the law making Ulgh a state and sald “If the Mormons could be rid of this dark shadow they would reap the rewards of their toll and their trials. The abolition of polygamy and the domination of a secret bierarchy would meet with the applause and approval of our people.” Mr. Quay was not prepared or authorized to accept an amendment embodying the “Bdmunds law" and applying it to Arizona and New Mexico, and suggested that the way to settle that question was to fix a day for a vote on the bill Mr. Kean (N. J.), who had yielded the floor to first one senator and then another during the entire day, started to continue remarks begun yesterday, when the senate at 4:30 went into executive session, and at 4:50 adjourned.
