In San Francisco, pro-Mormon Republicans (including "permanent" national chair of the Republican Party's national convention) tell Presidents Woodruff and Cannon that the LDS church's only hope is to make "some announcement concerning polygamy and the laying of it aside." Republican leaders then promise to promote Utah's statehood in expectation that the church will work to have a majority of Mormons vote Republican.
