This letter and the fact that RooSe-

Washington, May % -The cat is
out of the bag. The revelations of
the Observation-Disclosures report
to the Roosevelt inSurgen is that was
made public this week for the first
time show clearly that the insurgents
in fighting Cannon and his rules in
the House and Aldrich and the stand
patters in the Senate, were not CROP
ing in the dark, but that they had
behind them the spoken word and
moral support of former President
Roosevelt at every moment OF time.
That report makes it clear why it
was that Beveridge detied the Taft
administration in Indiana and is now
fighting for reelection within the
organization at home, but as an in
surgent outside the breast works of
the republican national organization.
1t discloses why Nelson of Minnesota,
DOlliver of Iowa, BriStOW Of Kansas,
LaFollette Of Wisconsin,, with the
we nfl,ar rnr,1 h1ionp SnnotOrS and
% or 30 republican members Of the
House, have practically severed
friendly relations with the admins
tration and fight it as though they
comprised a third party, lining up
with the democrats when it suits
their purposes and again with the
standpatters when their actions are
in line with their own plans.
Roosevelt Insurgents Leader.
Roosevelt is their chosen leader.
That he will indOrse every n Of
their political acts and approve them
individually as patriots and true rep
resentatives of republican principles
shortly after his return to the United
States admits of no possible doubt.
Beveridge's expectations that he
will campaign Indiana for his return
to the Senate will be fully justified.
The report of the insurgents COM
mlttee shows that in the last days of
President Roosevelt's term he ap-
proved the insurgents program and
did his best to induce Taft to do the
same thing.
The insurgents entered upon the
fight against Cannon in the House
and Aldrich and his crowd in the
Senate within 10 days after ROoSe-
velt's term expired.
Roosevelt went out of office on
March 4, 1909, and the extra session
convened on March Is.
From the moment the gavels of the
speaker and the vice president raped
upon the desks announcing that the
extra session had convened the fight
was on, and it has been waged with
never-tiring bitterness and confidence
ever since.
Won't Reject Nomination.
Force is given to the faith of the in
SurgentS in R~OUSevelt'S backing by
the statement of the proprietor of one
of the three great Chicago morning
papers who was recently at the capt.
tai. He is one of Roosevelt's closest
personal friends, was in intimate
touch with him during the seven
years he occupied the White House,
and has always supported the Roose-
welt measures in his paper. He sent
n of the ablest correspondents IN
the United States to greet Roosevelt
on his emergence from the African
forests, who remained in the closest
touch with Roosevelt until he reached
Berlin. This correspondent returned
only a few days ago loaded to the
muzzle with Roosevelt memoranda.

ing to a question, stated most posi-.
lively that Roosevelt would accept
the nomination for the presidency in
1912.
"He will not ask it," he declared,
''but he will throw nc impediments
in the way Of friends who will demand
for him the nomination. He Is too
much of a patriot" he continued,
ito decline a spontaneous and unani-
nous call to again ass m the reins
of government if the call shall be
made. The country can depend upon
it that il it wants Roosevelt for presi-
dent in 1912 it can move for his nomi-
nation with the assurance that he
will do nothing to thwart its efforts"

The report of the insurgent COM

the standpatters. They see in it's
