I wish to say to the Senator from Missouri there would be no objection whatever by any member of the church nor could there possibly be objection if his amendment read "or persons who believe in the practice of or who advocate polygamy." Nobody would object to that. I told the Senator in a very few words the reasbn why. and the only reagon why.. I or .anyone else could object to the words "believe in." I know. or I think I know. what the result will be to the Mormon immigrants if the proposed amendment is adopted. As I stated before. one of our articles of faith is "that we. believe the Bible to be the word of God." In that polygamy is sanctioned. I can not see what is going to be gained by the proposed amendment if it means the same as the provision in the House bill. as Senators claim.
