REPLY BY HASKELL. klahoman Charges President With Wilful Misrepresentation-Ex pose of Republicans. Guthrie, Okla., Sept. 23.-Gov. has.. N. Haskell tonight issued a tatement to the Associated Press in eply to President Roosevelt's letter to Wm. J. Bryan. dealing with four specific charges against Mlr. Haskell, namely: that he is subservient to Standard Oil: that he vetoed a child labor bill: that he dealt ext en.ively in Creek Indian lands and that the had allowed polities to dominate in the removal of members of the faculty of State university and the appointment of others to succeed them. Gov. Haskell took up the four charges as dwelt upon by President Roosevelt in turn, dealing with .each in a characteristic manner. The Prairie Oil and Gas company charges Gov. Haskell declared to be a "joke on Roosevelt's stupidity," asserting that he had done nothing which would confer upon the Stan dard Oil subsidiary company more authority than it already possessed under a franchise granted it by Sec retary Hitchcock. "I assert that it is fair for me to assume that if my case was to be dignified by an all-day cabinet meet ing that beyond question Mr. Hearst and his campaign associate. President Roosevelt, left no stone unturned to blacken my character. That being true, they certainly raked Ohio fore and aft concerning the Ohio Standard Oil cases of 1899 and finding abso lutely nothing reflecting on me, the president tried to wave his charge of last Monday aside by saying he will make no allusion to that. He drops 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 the truth when I said that I never in all my life had any interest in, connection with nor service for that company. "I say the president knows now that my statement is true and I re gret that he tries to brush it aside without doing me candid justice. Were I to adopt the character of language so commonly used by the president I would spell it in fewer letters than 'falsehood.' "Mr. Roosevelt, I hope to speak in Ohio soon. May I hope to divide~ the time with some partizan of yours or Prince William, who will defer d your action in this instance? "President Roosevelt comes to Oklahoma and finds a substitute for his Ohio failure, does -he, in the case Sof the State against the Prairie Oil and Gas company, which he complains I compelled to be dismissed! "Yes, I did have it dismissed. We all know that the Prairie company is a Standard Oil offspring, and don't forget the president claims to have known this also, and I charge that the political allies, Hearst and Roose velt, both know that I acted properly. 'First, the Prairie Oil company got ts franchise in our State., not from me, but from Roosevelt's secretary of interior, long before statehood began, and had its main line built and oper ating, and congress in our statehood bill was careful to declare that our new State, when organized, must re spect all such vested rights and ex isting franchises. That was all I did and the A.deral ecurts stood ready to call me down if I violated the Rdose velt territorial franchises. "Now, Mr. President, wihy did your secretary of the interior grant what you knew to be a Standard Oil pipe line franehise in our t,hen helpless territory and fasten it on our new State by a permanent statehood bill ? Will Mr. Hearst or the president please answer? I will also remind the president that the company tried to enlarge its rights so as to include a as as well as an oil privilege. This I defeated, and even last April, Mr. President, your secretary of interior tried to help the Standard Oil to get g.i railege against n~...-ro b actually granting them a franchise to lay an interstate gas line also. I no tified' the secretary that with state hood your days of giving valuable franchises in our State had passed and I would resist laying the pipe only a.fter you yielded and eancelled yor unlawful act. "I again assert that my aet in that case was not only required by what federal authority had been un able to do, but that the public inter est of our own people, based on con ditions growing out of your original special favor to the Standard Oil com pany in granting that franchise. re quied me to p ursue that poheyv i the case you criticise. "The president comes to the In-al affairs of our Ste and :issails me for vetoing child labor bill. "True. I did 2o- simply becaus the bill went teo far aind includey thing not desired by our people. En ii Ialbor re1i-('enltative-s approved myniv reto. I hope ' the president will surir; tlhis ve:t of a local bill and I .'em Iit Its 141 m : _.r local affairs. " The president complains that We removed certain professors from our State university, our three State nor mal schools and preparatory school in violation of civ-i! servih-( rules. That is thew presideti. in his usual impet a mi n rei-kless di .Zard of oth1 ers. istates ithe f'-a. Less than one-fifth of the faculties are chang ed. All changes were for good cause t otIe than politics and done by 1 boards of regents and not by the gov- I ernor. The president complains that j there are several suits pending against me to reclaim Creek Indian land. The president should have gone further I and said that I was not a dealer in Indian land and only came in as a subsequent purchaser and was only incidentally a party without personal interest at all, and especially he should have said that it is quite apparent that those who are being sued in those 1 land cases appear to be, and apparent-. 1 ly are, the victims of political chica nery, which the president can better i explain than I. I "In short, the president and Mr. Hearst picked the wrong man and are e now driven into ward politics rather I than surrender like men. t "The president assumes that all Oklahomans are grafters just because his territorial associates justified that I name: that all ex-railroad contractors are bad just because Paul Morton I i needed his protection; that we all in Oklahoma violate the civil service law t just _because Mr. Roosevelt removed the best United States marshall we ever had, the only reason being he 1 voted for a good Democrat instead of a. bad Republican and then the presi dent appointed his cousin to fill the I vacancy. "As to the reports of labor on a t child labor bill, and my work in the interest of labor, Mr. President, please remember with me it's doing things. ] Wtih you it's talk only. You are I the same president who threatened to I turn down our constitution because it I] provides a jury trial in certain con- i tempt eases. Don't forget, Mr. I President, I flatly dared you to make < th .t objection. But as the price of your approval you dias compel us to Icut out the prohibition of removal of t personal irrjury cases against foreign ; corporations from State to federal courts and several other good provis ions that would benefit- humanity and curb special interest.
