,
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.

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

' 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
