He has not married many wives, however, and does not intend to. His
private life, his domestic life and his financial record are all clean
and clear of stain.
So much cannot be said of many other Senators and Representatives at our
capitol.
Good women are horrified when seeking government positions to find how
the sacrifice of virtue is demanded as payment for influence.
These statements cannot be evaded or denied. Let one who questions them
investigate the conditions existing in Washington in the past and
to-day.
What a record it would be were every girl and woman who had been led
into the path of folly by married Senators and Representatives to come
forth and tell her story!
There are clean, decent, high-minded men in both houses. There are good
citizens, good patriots, good men there.
But so long as one married seducer and misleader of women retains a seat
in either house unmolested, so long as one man stays who is unfaithful
to his marriage vows, the opposers of the Senator from Utah should base
their objections on other than moral grounds.
