I think. that when certain charges were sent to me recently. claiming that the. practice had been continued. and that there had been absolute defiance of the law. I wrote in response to those charges and said that I did not believe that to be the fact. I remember speaking to the Senator once about the matter. The whole question resolves itself into this: Suppose. an immigrant comes here and says. "I believe in the practice. of polygamy." He is excluded. He has been frank. .Suppose another immigrant comes who does. believe in the practice of polygamy. who does practice it. and who does advocate it. but who refuses to admit it. Should he be admitted? Manifestly not.
