Wer ee feed Saeet That there Is to be a determined fight in the Senate next fall to declare the ■eat of Senator Smoot, of Utah, vacant, there is no doubt, and the fact that letters and remonstrances are coming to the Senate Committee on Elections every day indicate* most clearly that the junior senator from Utah may find himself out of that body, although he has already taken the oath of office. There it strong evidence of a tidal wave of opposition ' from the religious people against allowing Senator Smoot to remain in Congress, such a one as engulfed and overwhelmed Brigham H. Roberts when he essayed to take hi* seat in the House. All this opposition is carefully guarded from publicity and filed away in the pigeonhole* of the desk of Senator Burrows, of Michigan, who is chairman of the Senate Committee on Elections. Mr. Burrows will not say what View he or any other member of the committee Will take of the case. It is understood that an effort i ing made among well-informed mi Utah to get proof that Smoot is now and has been for years a polygamist, which evidence they hope to have in time to present to the committee when the Senate meets in December. Whether or not such proof will be forthcoming remains to be seen, but it is very apparent that great pressure is being brought upon the Senator*‘from all sections of the country to use their influence to have Senator Smoot expelled from Con-

gress.
