WASHINGTON. Dec. 1-If there was
ever any doubt in the mind of President
Roosevelt as TO the attitude OF Indiana Re
publicans toward his candidacy for renom-
nation Il will doubtless be removed by the
expressions to-day of three leading men,
bers OF The state delegation. Representa-
tives Helnenway, Overstreet and Charles B.
lands s. .ated in emphatic terms that there
Is absolutely no foundation for the reports
coming from Indianapolis that there is
sentiment among Republicans in the State
antagonistic TO President Roosevelt. Their
views are accepted by friends of the Presi-
dent as rejecting the exact condition Of af-
fairs in Indiana.
Representative Overstreet said: I'm In
diana there is absolutely no movement
against the nomination of Mr.. Roosevelt.
Senator Fairbanks has never been, and Is
not now a candidate for the presidential
nomination. Senator Hanna has strong
friendshtps in Indiana. Those who know
him recognize the sincerity of his state
ments. aid do not consider him candidate
In view II his recent declaration"
Following is the contribution Of Repre-
sentative Charles B. Landis: 'It is not
necessary for any man to neglect his busi-
ness to book after the interests of President
Roosevelt in Indiana his interests are
now beirg looked after by practically every
Republican in the State. 1t is taken for
granted that Mr.. Hanna means what he
says. He has never beaten about the bush,
always seen frank, straight out from the
shoulder and that is why the people not
only resoect but love him. There Is no df-
vision o. sentiment in Indiana as TO Mr..
Roosevests nomination. The Indiana dele
cation VIII be unit for him in the conyen. wen
will brehk her record In its Endorsement
OF his administration on election day. Pres
and hiss splendid conduct OF the isthmian
canal proposition has placed him In such
way with the people as to cause the Demo-
Gratis 60: vie with Republicans in praise of
him"
Representative Hemenway said: "Presi-
dent Roosevelt has nothing to fear in In
diana. Senator Fairbanks is not a candi-

will be Sor Roosevelt
Following the clean-cut declaration of
Senator: Fairbanks that Indiana Repub-
licans favored Roosevelt. the expressions

of interest in Washington
The rSport that Perry s. Heath will soon

Roosevelt Is OF opinion that Mr..
Heath'ss resignation from the committee
would not be unacceptable. 1t is also a
matter ,of gossip among politicians that
