Col. ROOSEVELT BACKS
THE Insurgents
Making Public Some Unpublished History
Creates a Sensation

WASHINGTON, d. c.. May "a
That Col Theodore Roosevelt Is with
the insurgents heart and soul is the
gist of a hitherto unpublished report
made by the committee OF insur-
gents to a caucus OF house lnsur-
gents. In March. 1909, Col. Roose-
welt gave his Endorsement to the in
snrgents and helped them during the
closing days of his administration
With his support behind them the
insurgents are planning a vigorous
campaign next fall that will sweep
the former president into the whirl-
pool OF politics. Roosevelt and In
surgency Is to be the battle cry. En-
dorsement was given to Representa-
tiyes Nelson OF Wisconsin, Gardner
OF Massachusetts,. and Madison OF
Kansas. who we're sent as a commit
tee by the insurgents to obtain
RooseYelt's endorsement. On March
81, 1903. the report declares. ROose-
ven expressed MS thofough sympathy
with the progressives. To Ives ne
said that Cannon has been the great
est obstacle TO my efforts 10 secure
good legislation throughout my ad-
ministration. On March &, after
an evening spent with President
Taft. Col. Roosevelt asked the Insur-
gents TO excuse him from writing
the letter on the ground that a.
would embarrass the new administra-
ton. Standing In the presidents
room Roosevelt took Gardiner and
Nelson BY the hands and asked Presi-
dent Taft to take mp the insurgent
cause That Was one OF the last acts
OF the Roosevelt administration.
