ARRESTS COME SOON.

grams from the federal authorities
here have informed the officials in the
districts where the men reside that
warrants have been issued and the in
dictments are to be sent as soon as
possible
Meantime it is the governments

the accused men of the fact of their

ments until they are taken in custody.
J In some cases capias already have
| been sent, according to government
men, but many of them are so volumi-
nous that it will require all day to
transcribe them so that copies can be
sent with the papers for the arrests.
The indictments, some of which cover
hundreds of pages, contain more de-
tailed charges than are usually writ
ten into true bills.
| Many inquiries already have reach

Lincoln, Feb. THAT republicans
should unite in supporting Theodore
Roosevelt is the closing statement Of
synopsis of the presidential stua-
ton given out here today by Gov.
Shester H. Aldrich. Gov. Aldrich was
originally a LaFOlette man, but his
detection to the Roosevelt side has
been recognized for some time.
Gov. Aldrich asserts that the nomi-
nation of Col. Roosevelt would pre-
vent the unrest usually accompanying
presidential campaign because his
attitude toward business is known.
In his judgment, public sentiment is
centralizing in favor of Roosevelt.
Gov. Aldrich states there are no ser
ious differences between republicans
in Nebraska. He asserts that there
will be but two sets of delegates vot-
ed on at the primaries, one pledged to
President Taft and the other to Sena-
tor LaFollette or Col. Roosevelt.
Turns Back on LaFolIette.
"In my judgment the evidence on
every hand from straw votes taken by
the great metropolitan dailies and
from other undoubted and reliable
sources of information shows that the
sentiment is rapidly crystalzing
around our eX-president, Theodore
Roosevelt.
"In the last few days, it would seem
that Senator LaFollette will not be
able, owing to his severe illness and
worn energies, to prosecute his cam
paign and to further conduct his lead
ership at this critical period of forma-
ton of political forces and the repub-
lican party in this state and nation
are indeed fortunate in having Col.
Roosevelt a republican whose progress
sive policies and great character have
done so much for this country"
After paying a tribute to Col, Roose-
velt's moral earnestness and civic vir-
tue, Gov. Aldrich says:
