Friends Of President In New
York Are Found to Be
Lukewarm.
Because They Fear Roosevelt
In 1912.
FAKE STORY FROM INDIANA.

New York, Oct. 24.-Roosevelt
here today inferentially denied a
charge that he had called Federal
Judge A. b. Anderson, of Indiana, a
damned jackass and crook" but
II Is alleged that the colonel made
this remark to Perry 8. New, for
mer chairman of the Republican ma
tional committee. at the recent
Roosevelt reception In Indianapolis.
There Is nothing i can say about
this" the colonel said. at Is Just
the kind of thing to be expected in
the closing days of campaign"
Will Stump Ohio.
Colonel Roosevelt. 1t was learned,
has promised to make several cam
paign speeches for the Republican
candidates in Ohio on his return
from Iowa. This strengthens the
belief that there is an understand
ing between President Taft and
Roosevelt that the latter will sup
port him for denomination In 1912.
Colonel Rooseyelt's friends have
limited here that he now realizes
that the radical Republicans of the
west must be curbed, that they can
not dominate the next Republican
national convention or elect their
ticket. and that he must cast his in
fiuence with the conservative pro-
gressives in favor OF renominating
Taft and re-electing him.
II is apparent that when the for
mer president speaks in Ohio he will
take occasion to pay some strong
compliments to the president. and
that this will bring about a still
further kindly feeling between the
white house and its former occu-
pant.
In New York thousands OF Taft's
admirers are working against Slim
son because of their feeling that
Roosevelt is the man who is to be
put out of business. IL these men
could be convinced that Roosevelt
was really for Taft's denomination
they might be induced to fall into
line for Stimson.
Colonel Roosevelts aim is to win
in New York, not to be discredited
there. He is said to have found that
IL will be impossible for him to do
so as matters stand. He is willing
to let 1t be reported that he Is for
Taft for another term.
