STRUGGLING
OVER TAFT
(By United Press Leased WIre)

BAR HARBOR, Me-, July 21.-
Strife. always more or less bitter
between Bar Harborites and the COL
ony Of summer visitors, broke out
afresh here today over the enter
tainment of President Taft.
The summer visitors are so mo-
nopolizing the presidents time, to
the exclusion of the natives, that
the president scarcely has met one
Of the all year residents of the
town. No native has been bidden
to dinners. receptions or other func-
tions held liz honor Of the president.
and the result has been such howl
that can be heard distinctly on top
Of Mount Desert.
The first offensive move of the
Bar Harborites came today, when
Selectman Bunker invited the pres
ident to become the guest OF Bar
Harbor, and the natives are hoping
the president will accept. SO that
they can show their appreciation of
his visit and incidentally take equal
place with the visiting fashionable.
The president spent the morning
on the golf links. He attended a
reception this afternoon and
planned to attend a diner tonight
given by society leaders at Jordan
Pond.
