STATEMENT OF CASE
Washington Believes Sentiment
for Colonel Is Increasing,
but Wait,

Washington. April 13.-The Tribune
editorial indorsing Colonel Roosevelt
for President was widely read and com
mcnted on around the Capitol to-day
but not for publication. II was received
with mixed emotions by both the old
line and Progressive factions, but
neither side is sure enough where II
stands TO wish to tell about 1t. Only
the out-and-out Roosevelt men, Of whom
there arc few in Washington, cared 20
he quoted. and they said what was to
he expected.
II was admitted even by the most i'm
placable opponents OF the Colonel that
The Tribune's policy would be a great
assistance 20 him. The Tribune hght
against him in 1912 was remembered.
and the fact that the new issues had
convinced il that he is now the man
10 support would, it was felt, have wide
influence.
Politicians on the Fence.
The fact is. reports Of the growing
Roosevelt sentiment throughout the
country have put the great majority
Of the politicians on the fence. VI
fciallv they are for Hughes or some
favorite son. but the returns from IL
linois, where 1900 men wrote in
Roosevelt's name and the knowledge
that the Colonel could have had many
more delegates had he made a fight
for them, have provided food for serious
thought. The politicians want 10 win -
the Old Guard knows that IL cannot
again lead the rank ard file into fore
seen defeat. and that IL will be un-
horsed if IL tries it. Many of the lead
ers. apart from this. sincerely feel
that the issues pending are 50 great as
10 make the present campaign a patri-
otto emergency. But practically all the
regulars. because of the resentment at
the 1912 bolt. want 10 win without
Roosevelt If they can.
The idea that Roosevelt viii be an
even stronger candidate than Hughes
does not appeal 10 them, and they do
not enthuse over any sign OF his grow
ing strength. On the other hand. t1y
are beginning TO suspect that they may
have to swing TO Roosevelt. and do not
want to commit themselves against
him. They hope they can sit on IL,
fence till convention time.

mcnt spent several days at Fort
Yates last week and part Of tlli:
week in an attempt to recruit a
squadron Of cavalry among the
Sioux Indians on the Standing
Rock reservation. From here Capt.
Branson went to Bullhead and

The action follows the offer made
by Superintendent Covcy last win
ter to the War department and the
Governors of North and South Da-
kota, tofurnish number of Indian
volunteers from this reservation for
cavalry service in the event of war
with Mexico.
At that time enlisting blanks
were circulated among the different
districts of the reservation.in North

young men volunteered. and no
trouble should be had in recruiting
the unit desired. 1t is understood
that many of the Fort Yates boys
have signi6ed their intention to
serve.
While there is but little probabil-
ity that there will i,c any war, yet
the Indian boys are to be commend
