PRESIDENT HAS < rNOT INTERFERED Has Never Opposed the Elec­ tion of a Mormon to the Senate. BELIEVES IT AN UNWISE MOVE Roosevelt Has Stated That tbe Pre*. ence of an Apostle in the Upper House Would Be Likely to Provoke Criticism of the Church. Washington special: It can be au­ thoritatively stated that the president has not upon any occasion expressed the opinion that a Mormon should not be elected to the United States senate. The president has upon several occa­ sions been asked to give his views OB the situation in Utah, but has re­ frained from going any farther than to say that in his judgment the inter­ ests of the Mormon church would not be best served by sending one of its twelve apostles to the senate. Would Cause Antagonism. The president has frankly discussed the matter with whoever sought his opinion, but has always done so from the standpoint of the welfare of the Mormon church. The presence of a Mormon apostle in official life under the public eye would, he thinks, pro­ voke antagonism and adverse senti­ ment that would result in no good to the church.
