BASELESS CHARGES
Qiaanecting Haskell With Standard
Oil Bribery Case and FrIIn Back
ITpoi|. Local Affairs in Oklahoma
a Described in a Political Article
In a Republican Magaxine.
President Roosevelt Wednesday
Affht, following upon a prolonged
conference with members of tho cabinet
at tho Whlto House, prepared
wnd gave out hia reply to William
Bryan, tho Democratic caudidnte,
redati ve to W. H. Hearst's chargesI
tfcat Governor Haskell, treasurer of
Democratic committee, had reprmonted
Standard Oil interests bom
tin Ohio and Oklahoma. Mr. Bryan
bad demanded proof ot' the charges,
promising that in tho event of their
substantiation, Governor Haskell
would be eliminated from the camjMdgn.
Here Is the lame reply ox
IWosevelt:
"The White House,
"WaHhlngton. D. C., Sept. ^3.1 90S.
"Dear Sir: In your telegram you
4ipeak of so much of the charge
against Governor Haskell as dealt
with his relations, while in Ohio,
with the Standard Oil Company.
You omit the charge as to his relations
with the Standard Oil interest
its shown by his action while governor
of Oklahoma, this very summer,
thin action being in part taken while
be was at Denver, where, as you
Ktate, he was by your wish mado
chairman of the committee which
drafted the platform upon which you
are standing. In my statement I
purposely made no speciilc allusion
bo the Ohio matter, and shall at this
time make none, in spite of its sigatflcance,
and in spite of the further
fact that Governor Haskell's close
relation with tho Standard Oil intorest
while ho was in Ohio was a
matter of common notoriety. In
Qktahoma it is a matter of record.
this court record it appeared
that the attorney general of the
State, elected by the people, obtained
an injunction to prevent the
a Prairie Oil and Gas Company from
bailding a pipe line, and that Governor
Haskell found this out while
ho was at Denver, as appears by the
representations for the dissolution
of the injunction made in his name,
oa behalf of the State, before a court
of superior Jurisdiction to that which
had issued the injunction. In this i
the governor states thnt the acting
governor, in his absence, had asked
that the hearing bo postponed, that,
he, the governor, might return and
have an opportunity to investigate
the controversy. The governor sets
forth in his Detition that he is the
solo authority to demand such matters,
and that tho attorney general
and the Judge of the lower court had
no right in the matter, and that
the action of the Judge of tho lower
court represented 'an encroachment
hf the judiciary.' The attorney general
opposed the disolution of the
injunction, stating that the Prairie
Oil and Gas Company was a foreign
corporation which had not accepted
the provisions of the constitution
applicable to such corporations, and
that without authority of law it was
employing a great force of men and
teams to dig up, across and into various
highways of the State for the
puropse of laying its pipe lines. The
governor prevailed, the injunction
wu permitted to continue its work,
to use the words of tho attorney general,
'without any color of law.' J
call your attention to the fact that
tho question is not whether or not
tho judge erred, or whether the injunction
was proper. The point is
i n?il ifiH KU vtJiuui w an aiui i mi man j
out of the hands of the attorney general
what the attorney general felt
was his sworn duty to prevent, an
alleged Instance of tho breaking of
the law by this particular great corporation.
"Ah far as I have seen Governor
Haskell has not even attempted anything
which can he called a defense
of this action of his. It thus appears
that his action was as inexcusable
as it was wanton except on
the theory that in defiance of the
attorney general of the State and at
all hazards, he intended for some
reason of his own to protect the
interest of a great corporation
against the law. It has been suggested
on his behalf that after all he
did not favor the Standard Oil Company
but merely the Prairie Oil and
Gas Company. This claim is disposed
of by the testimony of the
Standard Oil Company itself in the
latter part of 1907 in the suit now
^pending in the United States court
'ugainst the Standard Oil Company,
hi this testimony the Standard Oil
Company, upon being required by
the government to put in evidence
a list of all the companies in which
it held stock or in which Its subsidiary
companies held stock, represented
among the others the Prairl?
Oil and Gas Company, total capital
$ 10.000,000, of which the National
Transit Company's proportion was
$9,999.500; and furthermore it appears
that the National Transit Company
owned $25,451,050. In other
wordn. this Prairie Oil and Oa? Company
was owned, all except $500.
by the National Transit Comapny,
and thle National Transit Company
was owned, all except about $3,550.
by the Standard Oil Company.
"Now, contrast your action In thld
case to Governor Haskell with Mr.
Taft'ti action as regards Senator
Foraker, us set forth lu his letter of
July 20, J907, which I quoted In
my statement. It was a matter of
common notoriety about Senator
boraker, aw It has iong beeu a matter
of common uotoriety about Governor
Haskell, that he was the defender
and supporter of certain
corporate interests and therefore
hostile to the policies for which this
administration has stood. There
was no such convincing proof against
Senator Foraker at that time, however.
as there is against Governor
Haskell, when, as you say, he was,
with your approval, made treasurer
of your campaign committee. Hut
Mr. Taft refused to be a. party to
the renominatlon of Senator Foraker,
even though it was reported that
only thus could he advance his own
interest, showiug by actual deeds
that his words were true when he
said, 'I do not care for the presirloiirv
4 f it liuu In !?*
? *v ? uti vw vwitiv* WJ VWiU l'i U*
misc.* With a hundredfold clearer
evidence before you as to the connection
of Governor Haskell witn
the Standard Oil than Mr. Tat't then
had ns to the connection of Senator
Foraker with any corporation, you
nevertheless, having secured Governor
Haskell as chairmen of the
committee to write the platform on
which you stand, put him in as treasurer
of your campaign committee.
"Let me add that Governor Haskell's
utter unfitness for any public
position of trust or for association
with any man anxious to make an
appeal on a moral issue to the Amer
lean people has been abundantly
shown, wholly Irrespective of this
[action of his in connection with
Standard Oil interests. As an American
citizen who prizes his Americanism
and his citizenship far above
any question of partiznnshlp, I regard
as a scandal and a disgrace
that Governor Haskell should be connected
with the management of any
national campaign. I have not the
space In this letter to discuss Governor
Haskell's conduct, for instance,
in vetoing the child-labor bill; or
the fact that his name appears uh
one of tho defendants in various
suits brought by the government
to prevent the Crook Indiank from
having certain of their lands fraudulently
taken; or his connection with
various matters of the kind, but
let me enll vour attention to hisi eon
duct in prostituting to base purpose
th<> State University, ns set forth in
an article in The Outlook of September
5, last, under the heading of
"Shall the People Rule?in Oklahoma?"
In this nrltcfce yon will see
that Governor Haskell was giwn
full opportunity to make every explanation,
and that he made none
After setting forth the facts as to
Governor Haskell's conduct, The
Outlook article concludes as follows:
" 'On this state of affairs we have
two comments to make and two quesl
tions to ask.
" 'The people of Oklahoma are
taxed to support their educational
institutions, from the primary school
to the university. They pay their
money to have their cnildren educated.
When the politicfans use this
money to promote the interests of a
political machine or a church sect,
'hey are guilty of a breach of trust.
What do the taxpayers of Oklahoma
think of the use to which their public
servants are making of the public
funds What do they think about
this financial policy?the taking of
the money due their sons and daughters
and diverting it for the benefit
of politicians, eecleastical and civil?
" 'Governor Haskell was one of
Mr. Bryan's right hand men in the
Democratic convention and at Mr.
Bryan's instance has been made
iiir*iMui?-i \) i tut* i/t;inut;i til it: 11<111<MI<11

what would he the resulth of the
educational systems of the I*hi 1 ii>pincs
and Puerto Rico, in the digging
the Panama canal, in the work of
irrigation and reforestation, In the
administration of tho postofTleo, the
interior and agricultural departments,
in the appointments of foreign
ministers and consuls, if the spirit
which has actuated the Democratic
authorities in the otato of Oklahoma
should he permitted to take
control of the Federal government
at Washington. Governor Haskoll,
actions which speak louder than
words, has declared his disbelief in
drover Cleveland's motto, "A public
oflice is a public trust," and Mr.
Haskell is a representative leader
tn the Itrviin nenwicrncv. What does
Mr. Bryan think of Mr. Cleveland's
principle What do the American
people think of Mr. Haskell's contemptuous
reversal of it '
"You close your telegram by saying
that you expect and will demand
fair and honorable treatment from
those who are in charge of the Republican
campaign. I am not tn
charge of the campaign, but am
greatly interested in it. I have
shown you above fairly and honorably
that Governor Haskell is a man
who, on every account I have named,
is unworthy of any position in our
public life. No further investigation
of tnese facts is required. They
are spread on the record before you
and they were available before Mr,

He Failed to Do It,
A special dispatch from New York
to The State says Hearst sot the
State convention of hlB Independence
party into a tumult tonight by unpacking
a few more interesting letters
having to do with Cnitcd Stnto3
senators and Standard Oil. A former
United States senator was
named in the letter which Mr.
Hearst pulled out from his grip tonight.
ex-Senator J. L. McLaurln, of
South Carolina, a Democrat. Mr.
Hearst read letters from Senator
McLaurln to John I). Archbold and
from the latter to Senator McLaurin,
while the crowd of delegates
and spectators hootetj^and yelled and
screamed, "(Jo for them, 11111."
In one of the letters Senator Me
i.aurin wrote to Mr. Arehbohl ho
spoke of being able to boat Senator
Tillman, bin colleague, "if properly
and generously supported."
In the same collection was a letter
of a Inter date from Mr. Archbobl
introducing the same senator to
Frederick I,. Kldridge, vice president
of the Knickerbocker Trust Company,
"to discuss question of mutual
interest." Kx-Hepresentative Jos. C.
Sibley, of Pennsylvania, bobbed up
again in tonight's sheaf with several
interesting letters. In one lie told
Mr. Archhold of a "Hep." senator
who wanted a loan of $1,000 and
asked Mr. Archhold, "Do you want
to make the investment?"
Prior to the 11104 campaign Mr.
Sibley wrote Mr. Archhold another
interesting letter in which he said
it wasn't at all sure who the Republicans
were going to nominate; that
the situation was a very interesting
one and that he was on the ir.sido
and that lie thought he really better
come on to New York ami talk
it over.
A letter from Mr. Arch bold to N.
F. Clarke of Pittsburg, under date of
Nov. o0, 1898, showed that Mr. Archbold
was extremely anxious of having
a friend named as Democratic
senator il a Ifc'mocrat had m chance
to succeed Senator Faulkner.

Before rending these letter Mr. j
Hearst got after Coventor Haskell
again, while the audience roared i s
approval and set the air ringing with
cowbells and all sorts of shouts.
Mr. Hearst's contribution to the
Haskell literature was an affidavit.
In a suit brought by one John P
Bail#/ in Putnam county, Ohio,
against the Illinois Steel Company
for $.">0,000, that being the amount
of the fee Haskell should have received,
it was alleged, for acting as
attorney for the steel company in
the formation of the Federal Steel
Company, Haskell having assigned
the claim to Bailey.
This was the beginning of the
United States Steel corporation. Mr.
Hearst therefore added to the Haskell
charges that of being an organizer
of the steel trust, and then
took a parting shot at Haskell by
reading a speech of his at a dinner at
Tulsa, Okla., last February, in which
he spoke up for the Standard Oil
Company and said some nice things
about it. As an example of methods
"that were never dreamed of a few
years ago. said Hearst, I am going
to read you the following letter:
'2 f> Broadway,
NN?w York, Dec. 12. 1 908.
"My Dear Senator: 1 have your
kind favor of yesterday. We have,
of course, noted your recent disagreeable
experience with T. with the utmost

While in New York City Tuesday
Mr. Norman E. Mack, chairman of
the Democratic national committee, ^
contradicted another of the numer- at
oua Hob that Hearst haa been putting a'
in circulation about the Democratic. al
01
campaign. Mr. Mack addressed a
telegram to President Roosevelt in
which he denied flatly the statements st
contained in the reported interview
between Timothy L. Woodruff, chairw
man of the Republican State com- ^
mittee and President Roosevelt,
which were printed in local papers tl
Tuesday morning.
Chairman Mack's telegram to the *
Q{
President follows: "I notice in The
New York Tribune this morning you ^
are quoted by Thomas L. Woodruff,
chairman of the Republican State
committee, in the following Interview "

" 'Incidentally, the President re- *
marked that he considered It significant
that $300,000 had been found
in the treasury of the Democratic
party after Judgo Parker had declared
throughout the last national
campaign inut the party's treasury 1
was receiving nothing front corporations;
and, further, it was an- 11
nounced at the time of the election J
1
I that the treasury was empty. The
President said he thought it looked
queer that such a large sum of nion- 1
ev should turn up alter Haskell was '
appointed treasurer of the Democratic
national committee.' r
"If you are quoted correctly no
doubt you have in mind the publication
in The New York American recently
that I. as chairman of the *
Democratic national committee, received
*:ift0,000 from former ('hair- 1
man Taggart, which was said to be
left over from the 11)04 campaign *
This, at that time, was emphatically
denied when brought to my attention.
I desire to say to you now, *
that there is not a word of truth
iu this statement. I have not received
one cent from Chairman Taggart
