Church People Asked to Oppose Roberts
There was distributed in all the Presbyterian Churches of the city yesterday a printed statement from the Woman's Board of Home Missions of the Presbyterian Church setting forth "reasons why B. H. Roberts of Utah should be expelled from the House of Representatives of the Fifty-sixth Congress." The reasons were given in the hope that individuals would write personal letters to their Congressman elect urging that Roberts be expelled because of his Mormon views as to plural marriage.
