Congressman Roberts and Polygamy

REFERRING to the affair of Congressman Roberts, of Utah, a member of the House said: “If we keep Roberts out, we do so on the ground that he is living with women whom he has married. But what would we do if some one were to rise and object to the taking of the oath by a man who is known to be living with women to whom he was never married? There are such men about to take their seats, but I have not heard of any hue and cry against them.” And another member said that although this was all true, it seemed that nobody cared to raise any hue and cry against these.
