HcLAURIN LINKED WITH STANDARD OIL ! 5 AN ALLEGED LETTER TO JNO. , D. ARCHBOLD. < Read By Hearst?Could Beat Tillman I "If Properly and Generously ( Supported.'' I , New York. Sep I timber 24.?William I Tf. Hearst, addressing tonight the (State convention oi' (lie Independence I League part.v, as the New York Slide ( l>r ancli of the national Independence * party is ollicially known, renewed his s attack upon members of both the Re- (1 publican and Democratic parties and l produced another batch oi' letters, I which lie said wore written by or to e John I). Arclibold, of the Standard I) Oil company. a One of tlie loiters was addressed to o former United Stales Senator John L. o McLaurin, of Soulli Carolina, and I there was also a letter from former I' Senator Mcljaurin lo Mr. Arclibold, in a iwhich the writer declared he could s "beat Tillman it' properly and gener- C ously supported." c Mr. Hearst read also a letter from Representative Joseph C. Sibley to v Mr. Arclibold, and a letter from Mr. d Arclibold lo a "Republican Senator," "whose iiiitne did not appear. o Renewing his assault upon Governor ( C. N. Haskell, of Oklahoma, treasurer f of the Democratic national committee, ri Mr. Hearst, declared that not only was be "a Standard Oil tool and a promo- a lor of crooked railways, but. was one ,i' of the organizers of the Steel Trust." lie quoted from what he said was a S1 court record of a suit brought by John s P. Bailey, Mr. Haskell's law partner ' in Ohio, against the Illinois Steel com- :l pany and the Federal Steel company I for services rendered by Mr. Haskell t as attorney and organizer. Mr. Hearst also quoted from what n lie declared was a recent speech of Haskell's defending the Standard Oil t company "as having done wonders in ^ the country." I "We know," said Mr. Hearst, "that it has d?>ne wonders in the United Si ati-s senate.'' ^ t he new charges were received with great enthusiasm. e Clarence J. Sliearn, personal counsel |o Win. If. Hearst, who has taken a prominent pari in the Independence j Deagtie movement since its organi/.a- v lion, was nominated by the convention j, for governor. All of the ofliees on ^ 4lie tiekel were idled by candidates f. chosen by a 'committee on candi- \ dales," |lie slate being unanimously rat itied by the convention. ^ Win. If. Hearst received an ovation f when he entered the hall and the s band played "Hail to the Chief." s Mr. Hearst addressed the convention n in part as follows: <] Hearst's Speech. I "The National Independence party 11 exists today as an active and powerful (I force for good in every Stale of the ' 1 uion. We have offered to the conn- a try a new party the Independence 11 party a-; the one hope of rescuing the ^ peoples government from the control ' of depraved bosses, purchased politi- (! cians and corrupt corporations. ^ on Independence party men of New \ ork have every reason for pat- c riotic effort in the consideration. One i ol the old parties has nominated Mr. :i Hughes, who throughout his term has i served the great privileged interests "with the consummate skill of a trained ( corporation lawyer. I "The other old party has nominal- \ ed Mr. ('hauler, who has been worn smooth in the past two years as the ^ pocket piece of Charlie Murphy. "I have read letters to show the corruption in the Republican party. T have read letters and court records and atlidavits to show the equal, or even greater, corruption in the Democratic party. 1 "The Republicans have at least re- ' pudiated their Foraker, but the Democrats cling tenaciously to their Baileys and their ITaskells. "Mr. Bryan sustains Mr. Haskell and writes to Mr. Roosevelt proudly ' claiming to be responsible for Mr. Haskell. "Mr. Kern rushes to the defence of 'Mr. Haskell, although it would be highly appropriate for somebody to rush t" the defence of Mr. Kern. Mr. Mack says thai when he said he had gotten fjtfOO.dOO lie was only joking. Mr. Mack, then, to be perfectly frank, admits that he lied, and we, to be perfectly frank, admit that we don't know whether he was lying then or is lying now. "Mr. Dryan and Mr. Kern attack it he Republican party for not prosecuting I lie Steel Trust, New Charge Against Haskell. "Perhaps they hope I hat Mr. Roosevelt will whip the Steel Trust out of the Republican party and into the Democratic party, as he did the oil trust, an^l that Mr. Mack will get an >111oi* $300,000. * g "If Mr. Roosevelt should drive out lie Steel Trust (jlie Democratic party I s quite ready to receive it, for this i same Cv N. llaskell, according to court i records is one of the men who help- 'J id to organize the Steel Trust. e "In the court of common pleas of f Putnam county, Ohio, John P. Bailey, jx-law partner of Haskell's, sued the Illinois Steel Company, and the folowing paragraphs are extracted from he complaint : \ " 'Plaintiff, that within and during ( he year commencing July 1, 1807, one ^ liarles N. llaskell, who was during u ;aid lime an attorney at law, at the l< pecinl instance and request of said li Icfendaiit, (Ihe Illinois Steel Com- si lany, acted as agent and attorney for l< he said defendant, (the Illinois Sleel !< ompany), and about the acquisition 1 ?v said defendant of certain property, a ml in I he formation and organization f I he Federal Sleel Company, (a part I" the Sleel Trusl,) and in (he sale by ai he said defendant, of certain stocks m i) I he said Federal Steel Company, n nd in the sale and the transfer by C slid defendant to said FedcVal Steel cc lompany of certain ore lands, so- n< ailed, and certain properties. ii " 'And plaint ill' avers that said ser- w ices of said Charles N. Haskell ren- a; ero.d to said defendant by him as is foresaid were and are of the amount f value of fifty thousand dollars, $50,000,) and were and are but a ruction of 1 per cent of the profits calized by said defendant from said ft arvices, and (hat said charges, fees nd compensation are reasonable and ist". " 'Plaintiff avers that afterward uid Charles N. Haskell duly sold, asigned and transferred to lliis plainiIT all his said claims and demands " gainst said defendant, and this plainiff is now the owner and holder hereof.' " ^ (Mr. Hearst here read the official ^ Mesial ion to I lie foregoing.) t "So it appears, not from my asscr- v ion, but from court records, that Mr. < Taskell is not only a Standard Oil ^ ool and a crooked railroad promoter, ill a Sleol Trusl organizer. "Xo wonder he can get money for 1 r. Mack, and no wonder Mr. Bryan nd Mr. Kern do not want lo relin- . uish so valuable a campaign treasur- I Haskell's Option or Oil Trust. "Before T read you a few more It* I ers regarding I he Standard Oil I Is rniil lo read you Mr. Haskell's opin- h mi of thai corrupt corporation, ex- ^ ressed publicly in a speech at a ban- q nel at Tulsa. Okla., on Februarv 20, 008: ' P " 'Mv Friends: We often hear? ^ ' Q or wanl. perhaps, of some clearer ?hought?we often hear a speaker as- F ail the Standard Oil Company. T ^ oinetimes think that the speaker has lerely heard I he name mentioned and loes not know what Ihe purpose of f he company is or its plan <>f busi- | less. The Standard Oil Company has lone wonders in Ihe United Stales, 'lie Standard Oil Company, by the pplical ion of good sense lo its busiless, by ils application of genius and ^ liscovery of the component parts of lie raw material, has made oil prolucls reach values that were never Ireamed of a few years ago.' "Fellow members of the Tndepend'iicc parly. I think that we all know nore about Ihe purpose of the Stand- *> ird Oil Company and its plan <>f busi- jv less I ban we did a few years ago. "We all know that the Standard )il Company has 'done wonders in n he United States,' or at least in Ihe si niled Stales Senate. d "We. all know thai the Standard * )il Company by the 'application of I renins and discovery' has developed h ^iine pretty 'raw material' in the organization of Ihe Democratic party. * Archbold to McLanrin.
