Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Civil-service Commissioner Roosevelt returned to-day from a bear hunt in Montana and a stay on his ranch in north Dakota. Concerning the political outlook in those two Territories he said this afternoon: "I am confident that Carter will be elected to Congress in Montana by a good round majority, and I think that we have at least an even chance for the entire State ticket and Legislature. I know nothing of my candidacy for the United States Senate in North Dakota, except what I have seen in the newspapers. I don't know how the report got started, and I take no interest in it whatever. I may be what in New York is called a 'summer candidate.' A 'summer candidate is one who is run in the newspapers and is almost elected by his friends, but when the real election comes on in the fall is never heard of. No I am not a candidate."
