different experiences in denomina-
tional churches. Yesterdays expert
ence was entirely new one.
It was at Provo, the home OF Sena
TOR Smoot. where, 1t is said, so per
cent of the residents are Mormons,
that the President faced probably the
most enthusiastic audience of his ten
days OF travelling to the west.
There was nothing in all the pro-
gram to suggest the religious charac.
ter Of the building. The President APP
pealed to the patriotism Of the people
and congratulated them on their evi-
dences of prosperity and the fact that
they were a community Of the law,
abiding by the law, and determined
that every community of which they
were part should be lawful com
munity- This called forth continued
cheers. Mr.. Taft spoke for nearly half
an hour
From Provo, where he was officially
welcomed to Uath by Governor Spry,
