Haskell, formerly A treasurer of the Democratic national e^ committee, tonight gave out a long U letter to President Roosevelt repeating his published defence to the ^ charges made against him. The letter, in part, is as follows: Ii "The serious character of your charge against me should have suggested to you that you, as chief executive, should proceed with dclibera- S tion and certainly before making such d< hearsay statements your own declarations. "Your attack on me finally rested ai on my conduct toward the Prairie rt Oil and Gas company in this State. P 1 have said that you were responsible for granting a franchise before state- h hood, thereby creating vested rights. iX You seek to evade the issue and <V"??'e wrong impressions. You said ? tne ulterior department had no power, except where crossing an Indian ^ reservation. You would have your P renders believe that the Indian Tcr- Si ritory wi\s tlu;n conducting its own P government and that only parts of 01 the same were Indian reservation. ''' "Mr. Roosevelt, you know it is not .Vl true; you know all the land was In- S1 I dian land without county, township c' * or territorial government. What halo ^ i of! integrity surrounded you last week, w | like the mist has faded away and the | interior department holds tho record n which convicts you. w "You granted the franchise at the ^ solicitation of Senator Dopew, and a few days thereafter received $200,000 1 in cash for your campaign fund. "You charged me with having at- T* I tempted to bribe the attorney gener- 1:| al of Ohio. That was presumably L nine years ago. You have abandoned that position. Charles P. Taft says t( through his paper Hi at no evidence j*! was ever produced that would convict me of the charge. "In touching on the State University question, you pretended to quote ^ from the Outlook magazine, but how ' dishonestly you enlarged on the maga- c zine article! That article charged me .j with substituting Democratic for Re- s publican professors for political pur- ? poses. 1 have shown that statement ' to he false, but I charge you with try- ij ing to enlarge on that magazine article and give the world the inpression -that we were improperly using the w , money" appropriated to conduct that p inst i t ul ion. < "Your charge that T vetoed a child p labor law, yon have not apologized for, notwithstanding you know that T ^ did it' with the approval o.. union labor and that our State constitution which you said was 'so bad your opin- ^ ion of it would not look well in print,' contains more detail and child labor '' lee slat ion limn all you have recom-| ' mended to the Now York legislature ^ ^las governor, or to the congress of |H'h<> United States as president, and 5,1 HBhat T had approved fourteen Acts of ^ Sy'?nr legislature passed at tho solicita- P Sat ion of uyion labor. aft "You snid in your first statement PH^Iint I had suits brought \ ^.tinst me 1 IS/f) recover title to Creek Indian land. ^ J <> I, overwhelmed you on that statement. a ''Adopting your usual poilcv, you flee w i from that statement without just U apology and adopt the statement now II that it was government town site lots I 1 that you charged me .vitli being sued " iV, for.

Then lie bid" behind the door to see which his son would choose. N:i came the boy whistling. He ran up to }||f. table, picked up the Bible and put it under his arm, then snatched up the bottle, look lwo or three drinks, picked up the dollar and put it i? his pocket, and went out smacking his lips. The Dutchman poked his head out from behind the door and exclaimed: Mem Got, he is going to be a politician."
