TALCOTI WONDERS
AT DIXON'S TALK

IF Senator Dixon Of Montana was
correctly quoted at the banquet given
at the Gardner hotel Saturday night
when he was credited with saying that
he did not know the men in North
Dakota who were backing Roosevelts
candidacy for the republican nominal
tion in March, because he was-not then
in active charge OF Mr.. R~ooseveltS
campaign, / am greatly surprised III
as much as chairman of the republican
state central committee at that time
] was very familiar with every step
of the primary campaign in this stale
and through John Bass was in daily
ouch with Senator Dixon all the
while" said Sen. Frank S. Talcott Ct
Buffalo on his arrival in the city to-
day.
THE statement accredited TO Sena
tor Dixon was indeed most surprising,
he continued. when the campaign
first began he sent out Frank Knox of
Michigan TO become familiar with the
North Dakota situation SO that he
could report the local needs to- Sena-
tor Dixon himself. 1t was on the lat@
ter's advice that john Bass was sent
to Fargo to conduct the korn~t
primary campaign.
Mr.. Bass asked me to assist him.,
which I consented to do and through
out the campaign l was constantly
with him. We were in daily commun
icatien with Mr.. Dixon at Washington
so that he could not help but a
been adyiced almost hourly of the
progress of the Roosevelt campaign IN
North Dakota.
And during the time between Mr..

Bass | was in direct communication
with Senator Dixon myself, concern
ing some of the speakers selected TO
appear in the state and also concern
ing the ad~visability of the routes or
Clifford Pinchot, James II. Garfield,
Henry Allen and others.
This statement accredited TO Sena-
Tor Dixon that there was some mis-
understanding regarding Mr. Roose-.
velt's backing in North Dakota last
March because he himself had not then
taken active charge has indeed caused
no little wonder in my mind"
In expressing himself MIR. Talcott
concluded with a smile as he said:
These facg; are so well kno'tna by
everyone interested in Mr.. Rooseveits
primary campaign, hat a statement
seems hardly necessary. as the are a
matter of public knowledge"

That Fargoans are really going 10
