Text of the page (random words):
brandon said that the third reputed wife marguerite shipp roberts had come there once to attend the funeral already referred to the records of these marriages the witness said were in the temple which was the only depository of plural marriages san francisco call dec 20 1989 after hearing much similar testimony the committee issued its findings their report is available online at the library of congress upon the facts stated the majority of the committee assert that the claimant ought not to be permitted to take a seat in the house of representatives and that the seat to which he was elected ought to be declared vacant i by reason of his violation of the edmund s law ii by reason of his notorious and defiant violation of the law of the land of the decisions of the supreme court and of the proclamations of the presidents holding himself above the law and not amenable to it no government could possibly exist in the face of such practices he is in open war against the laws and institutions of the country whose congress he seeks to enter such an idea is intolerable it is upon the principle asserted in this ground that all cases of exclusion have them based iii his election as representative is an explicit and offensive violation of the understanding by which utah was admitted as a state roberts was out before he ever got in roberts had his supporters back home the ogden utah morning examiner aug 25 1906 would comment the hon b h roberts should have been allowed to retain his seat in congress for he represented the choice of a sovereign state roberts obit in the salt lake city deseret news sept 28 1933 offered this assessment the stalwart princely figure of president roberts will be missed by his associates and by the people of the church generally among whom he had mingled during his long and active years in the ministry an acknowledged veteran of many religious battles and debates in his former years he has been recognized as one of the outstanding defenders of mormonism through his efforts the teachings of joseph smith have found the hearts of multitudes they honor and revere him as their friend and his passing will be a shock to them through his fearlessness and his staunch defense of the principles of the gospel president roberts has won many outsiders to friendship for the church the modern day reader would also take issue with roberts views on women s suffrage he was opposed and on race he was a segregationist but those issues were of little consequence to the 1900 congress the three wives on the other hand were a different story posted in history tagged b h roberts church of latter day saints history house of representatives mormons polygamy utah 2 comments the congressional hall of shame john bullock clark posted on june 7 2026 by ken dowell when george santos the shambolic republican congressman from long island was expelled from the u s house of representatives in 2023 he became only the sixth congressman to have suffered that fate the first in 1861 was missouri rep john bullock clark clark had been elected to congress in 1858 he was reelected in 1860 but before he could be seated he was expelled the reason treason clark a practicing attorney became an officer of the missouri state militia and rose to the rank of brigadier general when missouri seceded from the union and joined the confederacy clark led troops in battle against the country for which he had been elected as a congressman it takes a two thirds vote to expel a member from the house this seemed a pretty clear cut case the vote was 94 45 how is it that 45 members opted not to expel clark i can tell you why two of them did another missouri rep john w reid and a kentucky congressman henry c burnett had likewise fought for the confederacy and they would both be expelled from congress later that year upon being expelled the new york times said of clark that he would henceforth roost as low as any bird that ever hawked as saucily as he pete bowles newsday service oct 3 1980 in missouri clark was viewed as anything but a low roosting bird his obit in the kansas city times nov 10 1885 concluded thousands of reminiscences could be spoken of and told of the man of whom we write of his conduct and career as a soldier the strange and interesting lawsuits in which he has been engaged of his wonderful career as a politician of his tact of overcoming the want of education and of the wonderful hold he had upon the affections of the masses here where he lived we may say that he was held in high esteem and warm affection by all our people here he lived and labored and here his memory will ever be green the missouri historical review offered the following in its remisiscences of general john b clark w d vandiver state historical society of missouri january 1926 he is revered in memory as a kind and generous neighbor a great pleader at the bar a veteran of five wars a statesman of two governments and as yet one who lived to enjoy the peace of old age and the prosperity of a reunited country but here are some things that these local historians felt were unnecessary to bring to their readers attention one of those wars in which he participated was the so called missouri mormon war in 1838 clark received an executive order from governor liburn boggs to expel all mormons from the state according to the joseph smith papers john bullock clark biography he insisted saints leave missouri in conjunction with civil authorities oversaw prosecution of latter day saint prisoners at preliminary hearing nov 1838 the mormons ended up fleeing missouri in 1840 he unsuccessfully ran for governor of missouri and almost ended up in a duel m m marmaduke the democratic candidate easily defeated him but the contest produced a famous feud with clairborne fox jackson after an article in the boon s lick democrat claimed that clark as a whig had inserted his name on fake democratic ballots in a letter to the editor jackson charged clark with fraud clark wrote to jackson seeking redress believing jackson had sullied his integrity even his manhood jackson sent terms for a duel to be held within one mile of fayette kansas bogus legislature john bullock clark apparently the two couldn t agree on terms so the whole thing was called off clark owned 140 slaves why would a practicing attorney need 140 slaves nothing
