WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.--(Special Teles
am.)-Representative Pollard arrived in
washington last night, with his wife and
baby. Mr.. Pollard in reviewing his trip
TO Ohio. said: During my recent trip I
met a great many business men and active
politicians in Grand Rapids. Mich; Cleve-
land. O.. and Butler and PittsburE. Pa.
found people wherever / went were taking
a keen interest in politics. especially in
the choice OF the republican standard
bearer for the presidency. If the senti-
ment of those with whom came in con-
tact in Grand Rapids Is a fair criterion
from which TO Judge the state, Michigan
will surely send a solid delegation to
Chicago for Secretary Taft.
At the banquet in Cleveland given os-
tensbly In the interest OF Senator For-
aker's candidacy. there was a very pro-
nounced feeling of hostility TO the senator.
The friends of Foraker had planned to
launch his candidacy at this meeting.
There was a very decided coldness sp-
parent all over the banquet chamber. So
far as l could ascertain the opinion seemed
general that Secretary Taft would have a
solid delegation from his home state.
Should the delegates be selected under the
old convention system. Foraker would un-
doubtedly secure part of the delegation for
himself. Under the primary system, how
ever. men with whom I talked felt sure
that Mr.. Taft would get them all. The
people of Ohio. I was told. outside Of a
few politicians and great corporate inter-
ests, are perfectly loyal to President Roose-
welt and are decidedly against Senator
Foraker on account Of his denunclation OF
the president"
Confer Over Utcs.
James T House. superintendent of the
Indian schools at Rapid City, is in WASH
ington and today called Indian CONF
missioner Leupp relative TO a number OF
matters involving the conduct of the
Rapid City school and also had. Il is un-
derstood considerable to say about the
work Of the Utes. who left their reserva-
tion two years ago and have finally been
rounded up and put to work on the con-
struction of railroads near Rapid City,
There are about seventy able-bodied In-
dams who are at work near Rapid city
and Superintendent House says they seem
to be contented. However, the impression
at the Indian bureau Is that gradually as
spring breaks these Indians will be In
duced to return to their reservation and
settle down TO the cultivation of the lands
allotted to them. The work on railroad
construction is. much more arduous than
raising corn and beans and they are said
to welcome heartily the suggestion that
they return TO the Uintsh reservation
