ABRAIGNEDJBY DUBOIS
The President Charged With
Support of the Mormons.
AMERICAN PARTY IGNORED
Alleged Contrast With Coarse of
Former Executives.
DENUNCIATION IS VERY BITTER
Claimed That the President is Using
His Power in the Interest of LawDefying
Organisations.
President Roosevelt was directly charged
In the Senate today with using his influence
for the election of republican-Mormon
candidates In the recent election In
Idaho and Utah. The charge was made by
Senator Dubois In the course of a speech
In which he discussed the right of Reetl
Smoot to a seat in the Senate. The address
was of considerable length," the first
portion being devoted to a review of the
Mormon Church.
'Mr Dubois asserted the control of th? *
church to be complete in the hierarchy,
consisting; of the president and the twelve
apostles, of which Mr. Smoot was one.
Turning his attention to the campaign
preceding the recent election, Mr. Dubois
read me press aispaicnes 01 ik ioimt
which stated the President had sent Secretary
Taft into Idaho to speak In advocacy
of law and order. At that time Mr.
Dubois said lie had telegraphed the President
that the only issue in Idaho was tho
desire of the Mormon hierarchy to continue
to dominate the politics of the state,
and that the President had been mislead if
he thought there was any other issue. The
republican state platform, he said, was absolutely
silent regarding law and order, and
notwithstanding the democratic platform
had denounced the murder of Gov. Steunenburg
and demanded the conviction of
the guilty party, none of the democratic
speakers had discussed any subject save
*v?a* nf Uiirmnnlsm hence there was no
other issue in the Idaho campaign.
Messages of Former Presidents.
Mr. Dubois referred to the messages of
Presidents Buchanan. Johnson. Grant,
Hayes, Garfield. Arthur and Cleveland, indicating
what he termed "the menace of
Mormonism." and proceeded:
"I call attention to these messages of the
Presidents for two purposis: one to indicate
the views of our former executives, the
other to make the contrast between them
Vin nr<iaont r?r?rM inint of thA Whitfl
House. Mormonism la more insldlou.*. moro
dangerous, and a greater menace to our government
and civilization today than It wns at
any particular period .when these mcssa**'*
were addressed to Congress. Yet President
Roosevelt does not deem the subject worthy
of mention in a m>**8age filled with suggestions.
A majority of a great committee of
the Senate, after patient and exhaustive research,
have reported that Reed Smoot Is
not entitled to his seat a-s a senator. It was
not a partisan report. It should not be a
partisan subject. No President heretofore
has made it a matter of partisan politics;
President Roosevelt has.
"When Governor Gooding of Idaho and
oKolrmon of tht> r??nuhl[^fln pom
mlttee were engaged in inciting law-breaking
and law-defying Mormon* to additional
lawlessness. :the President of the Unlt?*d
8tatea sent his Serretory of War tn Idaho
to plead with the people to stand by Governor
Gooding In order to maintain law and
order to. Idaho {
Feeling* of Non-Mormons.
"The non-Mormon citizenship of Utah
and of Idaho thtitfrth**'they ure-eiK'ltled to
the support of law-abiding citizens everywhere
in their efforts to maintain American
citizenship in these Mormon states, and
If they cannot receive that, they have the
right to demand that the President of the
United 8tates shall not tide the great power
vested in him in the interest of those lawdefying
and un-American organizations in
their determination to rule the politics of
this section of our country.
"In Utah there is a republican-Mormon
party, and a democratic-Mormon party.
both equally controlled oy ine Mormon nir-rarchy.
The American party in L'tah is composed
of Gentiles, both republicans and
democrats, who are battling there, under
the very shadow of thLa tremendous ecclesiastical
power, for American citizenship,
fnr fhe seuaratlon of church and stile. and
against the degradation of womanhiiTHi anil
home. It is a noble, magnificent contest
they are making.
"They have abandoned all hope of political
preferment.and suffer financially In their
unequal struggle for American principle*.
President Roosevelt throws the weight of
his mighty influence against the Americana
and for the republican-Mormons, in Utah
led by President Smith and 8<*nator Smoot.
He demands In Utah an indorsement of
Smith and Smoot."
DISMISSED THE CHARGE.
Judge Kimball Disregards Revocation
of Permit for Oarage.
Judge Kimball took occasion tnis morning
to declare to be unfair to the citizens of
the District an action taken by the building
inspector by which Charles E. Myern
was charred in the Police Court with erect
ing an automobile garage without a permit.
His honor dismissed the case.
The facts, which were admitted on both
sides, were that Myers desired to establish
an automobile garage on Maryland avenue
northeast, and that he obtained the signatures
of the requisite number of property
holders within 2<X> feet of the proposed site,
making application to the building inspector
for a permit. After a few days that was
r\ ad
5*
It developed, however, that while the permit
wad under consideration In the office
of the building; Inspector some of the property
holders who had given consent to the
(tragi filed withdrawals of that consent
with the Commissioners. There was delay
In tending the withdrawals to -ne building
inspector, and the permit was meanwhile
granted. When It was found that the per
mit was granted the Commissioners issuea
an order revoking it, but Mr. Myers had
in the interval obtained the land and started
the excavation for his building, making arrangements
for an- early completion of the
work.
When it was found that Mr. Myers was
going ahead with the building the warrant
for his arrest was Issued, charging him
with erecting the garage without a permit.
In deciding the case Judge Kimball held
first that after consent had been given by
property holders and the promoter had ex
penaea muncjr w can/ uui >ua p???? ?? ?
too late for the property holders to withdraw
that consent. They were not compelled
to sign In the flrst place, and it
would mean itUuatice to the promoter to
allow them to withdraw after money had
been suent.
In support of the revocation of the permit
