Reed Smoot · 1912 October General Conference · 1912-10-05
Transcribed from the OCR of the official printed Conference Report published by the Deseret News and hosted at the Internet Archive (conferencereport1912sa). Running heads, page numbers, and line-break hyphenation removed.
No witness list recorded beyond the primary source.
Proofread against the source text.
Light review: in-context proofread, synopsis/session-artifact cleanup, and spacing fixes. NOT a full page-by-page scan collation.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: speaker was garbled to the phantom name 'Eeed Smt.' (OCR misread of 'Reed Smoot'); embedded running heads confirm 'ELDER REED SMOOT.' throughout. Corrected speaker, speaker_id, and supplied a fuller title covering both halves of the address (music's spiritual influence, then integrity/temperance in business and public life). Removed the two mid-body running-head bleeds. Confirmed body complete and closing 'Amen' intact. Follow-up correction: re-verified against conferencereport1912sa leaf 51 while reviewing the surrounding talks and found this address actually opens the Second Day Afternoon Session (Oct 5), immediately after Heber J. Grant, not First Day Morning (Oct 4) as previously stamped -- corrected date/session. 0 QC ERRORs.
