Mr. Berry's opposition to Mr. Smoot was basei) on the doctrine of polygamy, which he said waa advocated by the Mor mon church. It was true that Mr. Smoot was never polygamous, but Mr. Smoot had admitted, he said, that relations to the early leaders of the church not only per mitted, but commanded polygamy. Mr. Smoot also had said he believed that mem bers of the Mormon church did receive revelations from God and that If such a revelation should come to him (Smoot) which was In conflict with the oath he had taken as a senator he would leave the country before he would obey the sena torial oath and the constitution of his country. .Recalls a Massacre. Mr. Berry gave tne history of the Moun tain Meadow massacre, which, he said, was committed by Mormons and Indians at the direct command of the Mormon church leaders. This massacre occurred before Senator Smoot was born, and Mr. Berry said he held him In no way re sponsible for it. But, he continued, Mr. Smoot has said: "The church is the same for all time." Mr. Berry said he objected to such a church dictating In politics and he Insinu ated that the senate ought to reject any representative sent to the senate by it. A vote for Senator flnumt h. am iff In 1 elusion, would be an Impetus and an en couragement to the Mormon church and to polygamy.
