RAps ROOSEVELT AGAIN.
Ia Follette's Manager Repeats That
7. n. Broke Faith With Him.


Washington, March %. That Col.
Rooscvelt's messages to Senator La
Toilette were such as to convince the
latter he would have Roosevet's sup.
port, IL the substance of letter by
Walter l.. Iouser to- ellison Gardner,
given out at La Toilette headquarters
as an answer to correspondence made
public by Clifford Pinchot
The message you say you brought
from Col Roosevelt to Senator La
Toilette can be construed in no other
way than as an nduCcment to Senator
La Toilette to become candidate.
You say he Roosevelt said he
would, in the columns of the outlook,
or otherwise, do what he could to di-
rect attention to the work accomplish.
ed by Senator La Toilette in Wiscon-
sim If he had said no more, that
would Justify what | have said that
the message brought by YOU to La Fol
lcttc from Roosevelt encouraged La
Toilette to become candidate.
But YOU said more than this. You
said that Roosevelt declared he could
not be candidate; that his place in
history was made; that he could not
afford TO take IA defeat and that who
ever made the fight was certain to be
defeated for nomination or for cleo
ton If nominatcd this this was the
democratic year; that La Toilette
would not be injured by a defeat, that
there should be candidate represent
ing the progressive movement; that
La Toilette was the logical man and
that if he decided to make the fight
he should announce his candidacy at
once.
THAT Roosevelt encouraged La Fol
lette to become candidate YOU can
not deny"
Mr.. Houser renewed his charge that
the attitude of the Roosevelt forces
toward La Toilette changed as soon as
there became evident widespread
growth of the progressive movement
and the possibility of Senator La Fol
letto's nomination.
Then big business says Mr.
Houser, represented by Hanna, Nun

There has apparently been rumOr to
the effect that an effort would be
made to decrease the saloon licenses
from the fact that a signed statement
by r. j. Forsyth and r. II. Rice in

that they will in no way favor a re-

cute dynamite.
Omaha. March 25.-Much anxiety
is being caused by what is believed
TO be the almost certainty of serious
floods in the Missouri river water
shed. The railroads, particularly, are
expecting trouble and numerous hur-
ried conferences of railroad officials
were held having in view the pro-
lection of their property. To this
end dynamite with which to break
mp possible gOrges, has been distrib-
uted to various places where the nee
esSity of such measures seems likely.
There is more snow on the ground
now than at any time, so late in the
season, for many years and the eX-
pected warmer weather soon to come,
it is feared, will bring down an enor-
nous flood from north. The Missouri
river is still icebound, but the ice is
becoming weak and may go out at
any time, endangering low-lying pro
perry, depending. in extent somewhat
on whether gorges form and their
location.
The temperature mounted to the
point where numerous rivulets were
started in all directions but slight
drop in temperature had the effect
of checking them.
