dock Dewey which sank in Subig

Washington, d. c., May 24.-That
ex-President Roosevelt is with the in
surgents heart and soul, is the gist
of q hitherto unpublished report made
by the committee of insurgents to the
caucus of house progressives in
March, 1909. Roosevelt gave his en-
dorsement during the closing days of
his campaign. With this support be-
hind them the insurgents are planning
q terrific campaign next fall that will
sweep the former president into the
whirlpool of politics. Roosevelt and
insurgency" is to be the battle cry.
His endorsement was given to Rep
resentatives Nelson of Wisconsin;
Gardner of Massachusetts,. and Madi-
son Of Kansas, who were sent as a
committee by the insurgents on March
3, 1909, and the report declares that
Roosevelt proposed to give Nelson. as
chairman Of the committee, a letter
endorsing the insurgent fight on Can
non. Roosevelt expressed thorough
sympathy with the progressives, say
ing: Cannon has been the greatest
obstacle to my efforts to secure good
legislation throughout my administra-
ton" On March after an evening
spent with Taft, Roosevelt asked the
insurgents to excuse him from writing
the letter on the ground that it would
embarrass the new administration.
Stadning in the presidents room,
Roosevelt took Gardner and Nelson
by the hands and asked Taft to take
up the insurgent cause. That was
one of Roosevelt's last acts during
his administration.
In q private conference with the in
surgent committe. after a long dis
cussion, 1t was suggested he write a
letter endorsing the insurgents pro-
gram not for publication, but to be
circulated among the members of the
house, and shown even to Speaker
Cannon.
Taft Wont Answer.
When Roosevelt talked to Taft and
asked him to support the insurgents.
cor at least to keep his hands off,"
Taft laughed and turned the answer
off in joking way. Afterwards
Roosevelt said he couldn't write the
letter as he did not want to interfere
with Taft.
After Taft had refused to answer,
Roosevelt turned to Gardner and
Nelson and said. I'm sorry boys" He
explained he was in hearty sympathy
with the insurgent cause. That was
the last official act Roosevelt took
in favor of the insurgents cause, the
report concludes. Within half an hour
he had turned over the presidency to
Taft. Since then Roosevelt has not
discussed politics, but 1t was learned
that Roosevelt received number Of
letters from insurgents while in At
rica. and this accounts for his inti-
mate knowledge with the political
situation and his success in lodging
pitfalls by correspondents.
