Mr.. TAFT IN EMPHATIC MOOD.

When the train is on the move. tho
President is usually busy. The frequent
stops at small towns: the speeches from
the back PLATFORM Handwriting with those
who crowd about the and the hurry
from one function to another In large
cities, consume so much OF President
Taft's day when he Is ION wheels" that
he finds work piled UP between stations.
Secretary Hiles takes care OF most Of the
Presidents mail and official business, but
there is a great deal OF II that must be
answered at first hand by the Chief Elk
ecutive, and there are dozens Of official
matters coming before him every day for
consideration and decision.
Before tour as extensive as the one
now under way can be started there is an
enormous amount OF work in sitting out

others who may Join the party for part
or all Of the trip; and baggage car, IN
which all members of the party have eiao-
crate arrangements for quick changes
OF costume.
The President rises before Z o'clock and
has a hearty breakfast. As becomes
big man, he is big eater; but his menus
contain no useless food and few dainues.
He likes meat and fruit and breakfast
usually boasts chops and oranges. Few
meals are complete for the President with
out oranges, which take the place OF other
desserts. Coffee and rolls, plain and sub
stantial meat and vegetable dishes. cold
roast beef and good decent home cook
ing" tickle the Presidential palate as fancy
concoctions Of a celebrated chef could
never DO.

PROVO. June 3.-The anti-prohbi-
tionists OF Provo are on the war path
and tho city council, as a body, is the
target that Is being fired at. The cause
of il all is the action of the council in
appointing the Judges OF election for
June -.
The ants have made the charge that
all of the judges appointed by the coun-
ell last Wednesday arc ayowcd prohibi-
,ionists, and that the rights Of the "wets
hsvo moi been respected in ono single
instance. The last city election in Prove
was fought out on the wet and dry
issue, the ,Wcrs alectng INC maypu, %
general ticket, and tho 'drys electlnS "a
majority OF the council. AS soon as the
officers-elect took their seats the war
was on in earnest and tho controversy has
never been settled. Every recommended
iien ma dc by tho mayor was looked upon
with suspicion by the council. and MS
appointments were rejected with the re-
suit that all appointivo officers arc hold
overs.
The mayor and tho party members who
elected him now claim that the prohi-
btion ordinance which was passed in the
fall of 1909 and which went into effect
January /. 1910. was brought about and
made into law by trickcry and deceit.
AT the time the ordinance was passed
il was claimed that 81 TO 30 per cent OF
the voters OF the city had petitioned the
council for such ordinance; that pc
fitlon. the 'wets" now claim. has been
destroyed in order 10 cover up the de-
ceit OF the claim made that a large per
cent OF the voters desired prohibition.
when the vote OF the people al the Time
showed plainly that such a claim was
erroneous.
At the election It was necessary. in
order to get a wet" ticket in tho field.

tion the council has ignored the existence

pointment or judges Of election there
