To ROOSEVELT TO
SAVE PARTY
Stories Evidently- Inspired. by Former
President Indicate He Will Fling
Broadside at big Interests
After Reaching New York.
He Is Becoming Familiar With
American Political Situation as
Rapidly as Possible.

WASHINGTON. April 9.-The last
doubt in the minds of the political
gene ralissimos as TO the probability
OF Roosevelt taking quick plunge
into the political battle royal has
vanished. Dispatches from Gibson
Gardner, the special correspondent OF
the United Press and Detroit Times,
aud other correspondents with Roose
welt. indicate this much.
While the dispatches from Genoa,
outlining the prospects and possibili-
ties of Roosevelt's meeting with
Pinchot at Porto Maurizio, do not
quote the colonel, the directness OF
the statements make 1t clear that the
stories were inspired by personal con-
yersation of the correspondents with
Roosevelt.
II is not believed here that Pinchot
made his trip at the request OF Roose-
welt, but there is no denying that mis-
reception by the hunter will be an
open-arm one That Roosevelt was
sufficiently interested 10 make an
open request that Senator Root meet
him and give him the administration
side OF the present controversy Is in
terpreted here to mean that Col.
Roosevelt wishes to have at his finger
tips when he steps of the boat In
New York q complete knowledge of
all the political moves and transfer
nations that have been made during
his absence. Roosevelt has fond
ness for moving and acting with Ma
poleonic unexpectedness and while II
is believed he will keep out of the in
surgent reactionary fight long enough
to forestall any charges of precipitate
and illconsidered action, IL is pointed
out that the record OF his, past per-
formances shows that he does not
run according TO the dopesheet, bu,
has q habit Of doing the unexpected.
There are many In Washington who
would not be at all surprised II he
signalized his homecoming by the ex-
plosion of a political bomb. Certain
1t is that his first editorial in the
Outlook will be read with great eager
ness both by those who hope he will
swing the Big Stick" and by those
who fear he will.
No attempt Is being made by the
insurgents today 10 conceai their sat
isfactiop at the latest dispatches from
italy In which the correspondents.
without quoting Roosevelt, state thar
he is still an admirer OF Victor Muir
dock and rejoiced openly over the re-
cent insurgent victory over Cannon
ism.
D.. The insurgents are pointing out that
Roosevelt has never had any difficulty
in getting his real sentiments into
print even though refraining from in
terviews
koosevelt's personal and official at
t.tude toward Aldrich and the things
he stands for Is being pointed out in
connection with the fact that most OF
the men opposing Ballingerism, Can
ronism and the tariff are the personal
admirers OF Roosevelt This, 1t is
claimed, furnishes a basis for the be-
lief that after June II the ranks OF
the insurgents will be strengthened by
the re-enlistment OF a sharpshoote~.
who has become terror alike to the
beast of the jungle and the interests"
of Wall street.
