' Mr. Roosevelt Promises to Make Speech for the Insurgent Senator . in Indiana. Oyster Bay, July 8. Theodore Roosevelt was hard at work today. He expected no political visitors, but as he still has thousands of letters unanswered, as well as editorial work, he kept very busy. Governor Hughes Is expected to visit Sagamore Hill Tuesday. . Will Speak for Beverldge. ' Oyster Bay, N. T., July 8. Albert J. Beverldge, United States senator from Indiana and one of the most prominent and consistent of the pro gressive republicans, came down from Sagamore Hill yesterday afternoon with a promise from Theodore Roose velt to deliver a campaign speech In his fight for re-election to the senate. Mr. Beverldge departed content and smiling, but he left it for the colonel to make announcement of the pro posed campaign speech In the sena tor's behalf, and this is what Mr. , Roosevelt said: "Mr. Foulk and Mr. Swift came to Sagamore Hill last night and spent the night here. They came to re quest me to go to Indiana and speak In favor of Senator Beverldge. I promised them that I would." WiU Make One Speech. He added that he had agreed to make only one speech for the sena tor and so far as Is now known he will make only one. The time and place for this speech have not been fixed. Those who have followed the po litical conferences at Oyster Bay since Theodore Roosevelt's return, share the belief that he has cautiously been feeling his way In his attitude toward the administration and the Insurgents hut yesterday's incidents are consid ered the most Important yet develop ed. Senator Beverldge is making his fight for re-election as an Insurgent He Is opposed by John W. Kern, who ' ran with Bryan in the last campaign. In his fight the senator is nlactnr himself squarely against President - Taft In so far as the tariff law figures the law which the president has de fended as the best tariff measure ever passed, and denounced by the senator In the same republican state conven tion which endorsed Beverldge for another term, and virtually repudiat ed the law. In the senate Beverldge fought the bill to the last and then oted against it. Where Beverldge Stood. It Is pointed out, however, Ith this exception President that Taft and the senator from Indiana' have been pulling together so far as ad ministration policies are concerned. There has been no break between them. The president entrusted to the senator the conduct of two adminis tration measures at the last session of congress the statehood bill and the Alaska government bill, and although the senator worked faithfully with the insurgent band In the senate and had a hand in the alteration of Pres ident Taft'a railroad bill, he support ed the administration regularly In the last session when the vote were taken. Titer Talked Polltlca. Sagamore Hill was fairly swarming all day with men of various political , persuasions. They talked politics bib day long but as they left town they were unanimously reticent Oyster Bay Is envolved In an atmosphere of deep mystery. There were three Indlanlans among the visitors. Besides Senator Bever- -ldge they were William Dudley Foulk and Lucius B. Swift of Indianapolis. Three came from New Hampshire- Winston Churchill, the novelist John Bass, war correspondent and his brother, Robert R. Bass, who is a . candidate for the republican nomina tion for governor. New York state wns represented by Representative Hamilton Fish and James R. Shef field. Roosevelt Well Pleased. From Montana there was United States Senator Thomas H. Carter. Colonel Roosevelt appeared to be well pleased with the result of the day's work of talking politics, which began almost as soon as he was up and last ed well through the afternoon. To In terviewers, however, he would aay lit tle except that he had promised to make one speech for Mr. Beverldge. Thus those who sought to interpret the day as a general Insurgent rally looking toward the shaping of Colonel Roosevelt's future attitude were left in the dark. And as an Indication that this waa not the case there was the presence of Senator Carter, a man who In the past steadily opposed in surgency. "Did you come away pleased with the results of your talks?' Senator Beverldge waa asked as he left Oyster Bay. Beverldge Had Pleasant Visit. "Well." he said. "I have had many talks with Mr. Roosevelt In the past few years, but never In my expert-' ence have I had one more satisfac tory than today's.
