IL REPLY BY HASKELL. i I , bklahoman Charges President With j Wilful Misrepresentation1?Ex- ; pose of Republicans. Guthrie, Okla., Sept. 23.?Gov. * Clias.. N. Haskell 'tonight issued a r statement to the Associated Press in > reply to President Roosevelt's letter i to Win. .1. Br.van, dealing with four < specific charges- against Mr. Haskell, < namely: that he is subservient (o < Standard Oil; that he vetoed a child t labor bill; that he dealt extensively in < Creek Indian lands and that lie had ' allowed politics to dominate in the t removal of members of the faculty of t Stale university and the appointment i of others to succced them. 1 Gov. ITaskell took up the four f ( charges as dwelt upon by President I , Roosevelt, in turn, dealing with each * in a characteristic, manner. i The Prairie Oil and Gas company ji charges Gov. Haskell declared to be I a "joke on Roosevelt's stupidity," I asserting that he had done nothing 1 which would confer upon the Stan- 1 dard Oil subsidiary company more i authority than it already possessed o under a franchise granted it by Secretary Hitchcock. 1 "I assert that it is fair for me to i assume that if my case was to be t dignified by an all-day cabinet meeting that beyond question Mr. Hearst C i and his campaign associate. President, 1' i Roosevelt, left no stone unturned to i blacken my character. That being u true, they certainly raked Ohio fore i and aft concerning the Ohio Standard ( Oil cases of .1899 and finding abso- j lutely nothing reflecting on mo, the t president tried to wave his charge of o last Monday aside by saying ho will \ t make no allusion to that, lie drop* ;i this subject because his original state- < ment was untruthful and he must \ know from what he knows and tried to find in Ohio that I spoke I ho truth r , when I said that I never in all my i life had any interest in. connection r with nor service for that company. ^ "I say the president knows now 1 !that my statement is 'true and I re- t gret that he trios to brush it aside | without doing ino candid justice, t Wore T to adopt the character of 1 language so commonly used by (lie I president T would spell it in fewer ,\ letters than 'falsehood.' c "Mr. Roosevelt, I hope It) speak in 1 Ohio soon. May I hope to divide the <" time with some parti/.an of yours or ?' Prince William, who will defend your ' action in this instance? '' "President Roosevelt comes to v 1 Oklahoma and finds a substitute for * his Ohio failure, does he, in the case of the State against the Prairie Oil " and Gas company, which ho complains I compelled to bo dismissed! "Yes, T did have it dismissed. We 1 all know that the Prairie company is a Standard Oil olVspring, and don't (forgot the president claims to have k known this also, and I charge that ' the political allies, Hearst and Roosevelt, both know that I acted properly. ? " First, the Prairie Oil company got [its franchise in our State., not from mo, but from Roosevelt's secretary of interior, long before statehood began, (and had its main lino built and operating, and congress in our statehood bill was careful to declare that our new State, when organized, must respect all such vested rights and existing franchises. That was all I did and the federal ei.nrts stood ready to call me down if t violated the Roosovolt territorial franchises. "Now, Mr. President, why did your [secretary of the interior grant what you knew to be a Standard Oil pipe lino franchise in our then helpless territory and fasten it on our now State by a permanent statehood bill ? Will Mr. Hearst >r the president please answer? I will also remind the I president that the company tried to enlarge its rights so as to include a gas as well as an oil privilege. This T defeated, and even last April, Mr. President, your secretary of interior tried to help the Standard Oil to get gas pwiloge against *in!?. bv t actually granting them a franchise to lay an interstate gas line also. I notified the secretary that with statehood your davs of giving valuable franchises in our State had passed and T would resist laying the pipe only after you yielded and cancelled kyour unlawful act. "T again assert that mv act in tihat case was not only required by what federal authority had boon unable to do, but that the public interest. of our own people, based on con ditions growing out of your original special favor to the Standard Oil comI'panv in granting that franchise, required me to pursue that policy in the case vou criticise. "The president comes to the local ' 'affairs of our State and assails mo for votoinff a child labor bill. | "True, T did so, simply because the bill wont t'?o far and included ' {things not desired by our people. UnI mi labor representatives approved o iiv veto. I Impe tlie president will ; survive this vein of a local bill and li lormit ns to run nnr local affairs. I "The president complains that we v einoved certain professors from onr s >t<ate university, our three State nor- v nal schools and preparatory school in 'iolation of civil service rules. That <1 s the president, in his usual impelu- i> isity and reckless disregard of nth- o m*s, misstates the facts. Loss than t< inc-fiftli of (.lie faculties are ehaug- a d. All changes were for got id cause n, >thcr than politics and done by h uiards .of regents and not by the gov- h 'ruor. The president complains that f here arc several suits pending against lie to reclaim Creek Indian land. The ^resident should have gone further ft md said that I was not a dealer in Hdian land and only came in as a S ubsequent purchaser and was only ncidentally a parly without personal ntcrest at all, and especially he should lave said that it is ri1apparent hat those who are being sued in those 1 and cases appear to be, and apparent- T, y are, the victims of political chica- n icry, which the president can better p xplain than I. h "Tn short, the jiresident and Mr. n Tenrst picked the wrong man and arc V{ low driven into ward politics rather p ban surrender like men. l! "The president assumes that all si )klahomans are grafters just because s lis territorial associates justified that h mine; that all ex-railroad contractors ire bad just because Paul Morton h leeded his protection; that we all in w Oklahoma violate the civil service law ti ust because Mr. Roosevelt removed p he liest United States marshall we vei' had, the only reason being he !> *oled for a good Democrat instead of ( i bad Republican and then the presi- il lent appointed his cousin to fill the 1; acancv. "As to tlie reports of labor on a d ihild labor bill, and my work in the e ntcrest of labor, Mr. President, please s emcmber with me it's doing tilings. 1 iVtih you it's talk only. You are Ihe same president who threatened to h urn down our constitution because it J irovides a jury trial iti certain con- hi euipt cases. Don't forget, Mr. |b 'resident. T flatly dared you to make a hat objection. Hut as the price of < < our approval you did compel us to ui out flic prohibition of removal of tl icrsonal injury cases against foreign -_r orporations from Sj;i|c to federal nurts and several other crood provis- S nns that would benefit humanity and urb special interest.
