Without consulting Mr. I Haskell, 1 will agree that he will appear for investigation before any tribunal. public or private, which you may indicate and I will further agree, that his connection with the national committee and with this campaign shall cease iti the event that the de iei-i?.n <>l >m-!i tribunal connects him ] in any way with this eh urge, or in >',nx> "ftc?r an investigation of sa.v 'hat you believe him < guilty of the charges made.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT ON FORAKEll INCIDENT. statement Called Forth By the Recent Charges of William R. Hearst. Oyster Bay, N. V., September 21.? iiilt* today Secretary Loch {rave to lie press a formal statement by the (resident, which was called for by lie recent exchanges between Wiliam li. Hearst and Senator Foraker, f Ohio. Mr. Hearst, iu public, utc ranees, had accused the senator ol. elations with the Standard Oil Comiatry inconsistent with his duties as senator, and liis altitude as a reiresenalive of Republican policies ltd professions,. In today's statement President 'oosevelt makes another appeal for lie support of Mr. Taft and declares hat his defeat would bring "lasting dtisfaclion to but one set of men, amclv, to those men who, as shown 1 the correspondence published by Tr. Hearst, were behind Mr. Foraker, ic opponents of Mr. Taft within his vvu party, and who now are behind overnnr Haskell and his associates, ic opponents of Mr. Taft in tlie oposite party." The statement embodies a letter rillen by Mr. Taft to a friend in hio on July 20, 1007, in which the epublican candidate for the presirmcy refused to acquiesce in the plan I' the Ohio Stale central committee ^ endorse Mr. Taft for the presipucy and Mr. Foraker for reelection > the senate in a single resolution, he president points out that Mr. al'i's attitude has always been di diy opposed to that charged auain-1 ' enat<?r Foraker by Mr. Hearst re-| trding tin* moneyed interests. The j resident riles I he I'rownsville affair ; a case where the agitation was ;i liase of the effort "by the reprenilatives of certain law defying irporations to bring discredit upon ie administ rat ion. *' It was, he says, i large part "not a genuine agita m on behalf of colored men at all, ni merely one phase of the effort by lie representatives 'of certain law ofying corporal ions >to bring disced it upon the administration beinse it was seeking to cut out the ;ils connected not only with the corupt use of wealth, but especially itli the corrupt alliance between ceriin business men of large fortunes nd certain politicians of great influnee. The venomous hositilily of icse interests and of their special ^presentatives in public life and in ie press In the nomination of Mr. aft was merely I lit* natural sequence f their lmsiiility to the measures ot | if administ rat imi fur the regulation f ureal corporations doing an Intertalc business, and to the attitude of lie administ rat ion in consistently msceitlinir all offenders of great ealtli precisely as it has prosecuted II other offenders. Mr. Taft has ecu Humiliated for I he very reason 11 a I lie is the antithesis of the forces 11 a I were responsible for Mr. Worker. Commenting further on Mr. Tail's Iter, the president says: "I publish this letter without Mr. 'aft's knowledge, because I feel it ty duty In the public that his :i11indc should be known. The man ho unhesitatingly resists temptation, ho cannot be swerved by any conderation ol' personal interest from dlowiug the course which his lofty inception of duly dictates to hint, ie man whose whole concern is for ie welfare of the people, and who :is proved in a lifetime of difficult id useful public service his extrardinary capacity as an adiuinistra?r, is surely the man of all others i he entrusted with the presidency. Ir. Tail's candidacy is not based ton large and vague promises, part I' which would be impossible of hievement and part of which would absolutely mischievous to the peoe of I he whole country if put into Feci. His candidacy is based upon s great record of actual achievcent, his great record of service to ic public, upon his inflexible adhertce to the highest standards of ghleousness and upon his proved id absolute fearlessness in relentsslv war rim; against evil wherever (may be found. I appeal to all >od citizens, all high-minded, cou ienlions men. who love their couny for the sake of their country, to nl such a man at its head." ALE OF PERSONAL PROPERTY.
