TAFT IS PEERED BY OLD MORMONS

Salt Lake City, Utah, Oct. 6. —More cheers of welcome for President Taft were heard at the Mormon tabernacle here than he has ever had from any audience during his occupancy of the White, House. It was “old folks’ union" week in Utah and they made Mr. Taft the central feature of interest for the old folks. A hundred of them met him at the New Mormon hotel, where he breakfasted, and when breakfast was over he was taken to the tabernacle. The tabernacle seats some 12,000 people.

The greater portion of the congregation rose in a body. The president spoke to them on peace.
