Even though physical violence toward members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was largely a thing of the past, when Reed Smoot was elected to the U.S. Senate by the Utah Legislature in 1903, much opposition arose across the Nation. The election of Smoot, a successful banker, manufacturer, and political organizer, was opposed almost exclusively because he was an 'apostle' in the Mormon Church. Relates the details of the opposition and describes the four-year verbal battle which ultimately brought Senate acceptance of Smoot's qualifications.
