The best friend a man can have Is
his wife, and marriage is the mold

Puppy love Is supplanted by the
great transcendental love that ce-

of this and his desire for it's contin-

bers OF the Mormon Church. who have
been hard put TO 1t since the election OF
Woodrow Wilson to the Presidency to
explain away the church's strong sup
port of Taft, have taken heart In view
of a curious happening here william
r. wallace, who had been so conspicu-
Gus In the service of the Mormon lead
ers that he was made Democratic ma
tionaI committeeman from Utah
through their influence, has just an
nounced the affiliation of himself and
his wife with the Presbyterian Church.
The President-elect, as Is well known,
is a Presbyterian. Mr.. Wallace denies
that politics has cut any figure IN his
conversion, but those who are familiar
with Mormon political methods see sig
nificance in the move.
A brother of wallace Is the Mormon
bishop Of tho Twenty-first Ecclesiastical
Ward of Salt Lake City. His sister,
Ellen wallace, Is sonspicuous member
of the General Board OF the Young
Ladies' Mutual Improvement Associa-
ion, prominent Mormon organization.
His father is patriarch Of the Motmon
Church.
1t is we'll known here that the Nor
mon leaders have been exceedingly en-
barrassed since the election went con-
trary to their expectations. Their strong
support of Tart is said to have been
based on a belief that the President
would get the united Catholic vote. At
any rate, in the campaign Joseph F.
Smith, the prophet, seer. and revelator,
stirred the ire Of Democrats and Bull
in a signed editorial in the Improvement
Era, the official publication of the
church. Mrs. Susan Young Gates, who
Is known as ..tbe feminine end of the
Sufoot machine" Introduced a resolu.
ton into the Relief Society, the chief
praising President TAFT and commencing
him to the people.
The stalwarts Of the church were so
completely put to work at the task Of
recruitinS strength for Taft that few
were left 10 pick up contact with Mr..
Wilson, such as the Mormons enjoyed
throughout the Roosevelt and Taft ad-
ministrations.
Since election the Mormons have
turned hopefully to Mr.. Wallace as the
only man who, as a personal acQuaint-
ance of the President-elect, might be
able to explain away the Taft support.
Mr.. Wallace and Mrs. Wallace visited
the Wilson home at Sea Girt after the
close Of the Baltimore convention, and
were able to tell their Utah neighbors
glowing stories of their observations
and experiences.
Now Mr.. Wallace in going to the
Presbyterian Church, has become affili-
ated with the organization that has been
the national leader in the warfare
against polygamy and the participation
in politics OF polygamous Mormons.
Whether he will take its view Of the
Mormon problem In politics. or wheth-
er he will use his office as commit
teernan TO help the Mormon leaders -
the question that is interesting politicsh
observers here.
