Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Joseph M. Dixon
President Roosevelt does not feel that he would be able to sign Representative Dixon’s act opening the Blackfoot Reservation in Montana for settlement because it does not adequately protect the water rights of the Blackfoot people. If Dixon withdraws the bill for now, Roosevelt promises to discuss it with him and Senator Thomas Henry Carter as soon as Congress convenes in December, and after he has received a report from Commissioner of Indian Affairs Francis E. Leupp. If the bill is passed in its current form, however, Roosevelt feels that he will have to veto it.

Since these delegates will want to be on the winning side, they can be “sheltered” under these candidates until momentum has clearly shifted towards Roosevelt.
