SAY They WERE BETRAYED
Manti Republicans Will Send Dele
gates to Mass Convention-Senti-
ment Strong for Prohibition.

Manu. Feb. 21.-Last night a few of the
citizens of Manti met in the assembly hall
subject to call made by the Republican
local committee, to ascertain the wishes of
the people regarding the call made by a
state organization for the mass meeting
to be held in the Salt Lake theatre the
coming week. The meeting had evidently
not been fully advertised, as there were
only few Of the citizens present. There
were some speeches made both favOTing
selecting delegates and opposing the seleC-
ton OF delegates to attend this convention,
but the majority were in favor of the pro-
hibitiOn movement, and delegates were
named to attend the mass meeting to be
held in the metropolis Wednesday next

A number of the leading Republicans

the head of the state organization will be
the means of disrupting the party. They
feel that the wishes of the people in send

evidently of more weight have Influenced
them to take a stand against the voters
who placed them in office. Letters writ
ten by influential men of this county have
been received by representatives in the
legislature from Sanpete county. which is
also strong evidence of the wishes of the
people, but all have been treated with con
tempt. and the people can come to no
other conclusion than that the Repub-
licans have sold themselves to some one

The servants of the household were next called
in, and II found that at midnight Mr.. Lester
had advised his butler to order the others to
tire, as there would be further occasion for
their services The butler alone remained on
watch, and at o'clock In the morning had an
swered the bell He found whom he did
not know, and whom he could not adequately de-
scribe, waiting at the door. He was told that this
gentleman had come from the White House, and
the fact that he had been able 10 the soldier
sentry duty at the front gate was guarantee
of this assertion AS Mr. Lester had not retired,
within a few minutes the visitor ushered
into the library The butler did not hear the men
greet each other. He knew nothing of what had
taken place beyond the closed door. He was gar
rulous in protesting that he had not been asleep;
he was positive that within ten minutes after the
mans arrival Mr.. Lester came out, wearing his
hat and overcoat, accompanied by the caller He
told that me- too might retire, and, therefore,
he closed and locked the door behind the master
of the house and his nocturnal visitor.
THE officers detained the butler as being the
most important witness in the case, and then
started for the home of the vice presidentelect.
The chief of the service, he started out OF
the door, turned back long enough to ask Dick

together in her lap, Il know that you don't be-

She realized that he was suffering, and, before
answering, came across the room put her arms
up around his neck, and looked steadily up into
his eyes

low. He was loath to leave her in her distress,
but was compelled to remember that he had
promised to send the man who had been on guard
to the secret service bureau within an hour, and
so, presently he ,ook his departure. There
at least comfort in the knowledge that her

arrive after he left, and that she would not
be alone in her misery.

rN the twenty-four hours following the disap-
pearance of the president and vice president
- elect there was general stupefacton that
found expression in argument only. The whole con-
serYative camp outside OF Washington was IN
such fever of anger and excitement that its
officers had difficulty In restraining the men from
breaking bounds and running riot in mad indi-
vdual effort to discover the of what could
be regarded nothing less than most auda-
cious outrage. The conservative leaders frankly
stated that. while they not prepared to make
open accusation they constrained to believe
that the disappearance of Morgan Lester could
have been brought about through no other than
liberal agency.
These interviews. published broadcast in
servative extras the entire country, added
to the bitterness of the hour, and became
more determined than that the presidential of
fee should not be tampered with by liberal ad-
herents Within hour after the first conserVa-
tive statement issued, the liberal leaders were
in touch with their candidate by long distance
telephone and retaliated by announcing their own
belief that Morgan Lester had not appeared TO
take the oath of Office, because he knew full well
that to do would be to lay the foundation for
war. They declared their own innocence of either
conspiracy knowledge of Lesters whereabouts,
and in proof of their assertion published notice
in every newspaper in America offering a reward
of 100000 for the return unharmed OF Morgan
Lester and his associate to their homes within
ten days time This offer of reward headed
by personal subscription from Thomas ], Barnes
of ten thousand dollars.

that the two principals of the days ceremony were

il was made plain that Grace herself knew nothing
whatever of the case. and had no knowledge beyond
the fact that her father the previous night had
declared himself worn out and had bade her re-
tire, explaining also that he did not consider 1t
wise for her, under existing conditions, to attempt
to see the ceremony of the following day. She

of the night in sleeplessness, and when finally

We all know the Old saying about the
value Of the eye of the master. AS Presi-
dent, Judge Taft is master over many
things. and casting his eyes over them
occasionally will help. improvements in
rivers and harbors and in reclaiming arid
lands are going forward under govern
ment appropriations, and very great i'm
proyements under private inspiration are
causing important changes in nearly
every quarter of the country. What
could be better than for the President by
personal inspection to keep track OF all
this, and at the same time extend his per-
sonal acquaintance among the leaders in
the enterprises?
1t is the day of the sack coat and of
hustle The reserve and solemnities that
once hedged about d President no longer
serve. The leader of d great democracy
is himself expected to be democratic in
tastes and performances. The people
want to sec him and hear his voice. and
judge for themselves what manner of
man he is. He is not subjected to the
familiarity which breeds contempt. but
only to attentions which increase interest
in him and respect for his great office.

The President to Travel,

Judge Taft's decision to see the coun-
try with his own eyes and meet the peo-
pie face to face at home Is excellent. He
could not do a better thing TO inform
himself as to conditions. and strengthen
himself In the public estimation.
II Is amusing now to recall the criti-
cism 10 which Gen. Grant was subjected
while President because of his occasional
absences from the capital Some of his
enemies went SO far as to insist that he
should be docked in his salary for the

Twelve Eggs or ThirtyP

Some weeks ago Mrs. Wagner of Pitts
burg went to her cupboard and, like the
famous Mother Hubbard, found it bare.
She wanted some eggs, and there were
no eggs. The hens just then We're re-
luctant producers and eggs were high.
Fifty cents dozen was the prevailing
market price. Having neither eggs nor
coin. Mrs. Wagner resorted to that last
resource OF the housewife, the neighbor' S
larder. Mrs. Brown next door had a
surplus of eggs and gladly loaned Mrs.
Wagner d dozen. The eggs were beat,
the cake was eat and Mrs. Wagner and
Mrs. Brown chatted over the back fence
and from doorstep to doorstep and the
neighDorly amenities continued undis-
turbed. The hens began to take more
interest in the affairs of men and the
ma rket price for eggs fell sharply. The
other day the rate was 20 cents and Mrs.
Wagner presented herself at Mrs. Brown S
door with twelve nice white eggs in a
dish.
Ii is not clear whether Mrs. Brown or
Mrs Wagner. at this juncture. displayed
the keener sense of values. but at all
events AIRS. Brown demurred to twelve
twenty-cent eggs as an equivalent of a

Mrs Brown averred with equal assurance
that 20 cents never did and never would
equal half a dollar. The argument upon
this question Of economics waxed warmer
as its profundities were complicated with
personalities, until. sad to relate, Mrs
Wagner impatiently set down her dish
of eggs and declared the delivery of goods
complete, whereon Mrs. Brown proceeded
