the charge and repel the insinuation.
I have been in public,
life for eighteen years and I have
been sufficiently conspicuous to
make tny conduct a matter of public

against Mr. Haskell connecting him
with the Standard Oil (Company or
with any other trust. I had known
him as loader in the Constitutional
Convention of Oklahoma, and hud
kuown 11iin as one of the men principally
responsible for the excellent
Constitution which has since been
adopted and adopted by a majority
of over one hundred thousand,

furnished by Republicans. I had
known of his election to the Covernorship
of that great young State
by a inajoiit.v of some 'hivty thousand.
I had known that the Constitution
was adopted and the Covernor
Haskell was elected in sjdto of
the speeches made in Oklahoma by
Mr. Taft.
"You say 'hat i! was a matter
of common nomrie'y that Mr. Haskell

to assume that if so serious an on

ours in that respect? Our platform k
demands that corporations beyond

"As you quote from (lovernor h

self in a satisfactory manner on the u

say:. 'Let us repeat that no Inwlti

Trusts Supporting Taft. at
Refering to the last part of the sr
sentence first, I might question your 01
ability to act as tin expert sis to in
panic preventatives, since you now tl
have one on your hands, hut as to ni
your charge that no law defying d<
corporation lias reason to fear the
direct effect of the unit-trust remedies
which I favor, permit mo to
suggest that your testimony on this
subject is not conclusive. You are M
a witness, to bo sure, but your interest
in the result of the election lntmf
be taken into consideration in weigh
iug your testimony. There is better
evidence. The trust magnates know | (
their own interests, and they are supporting
Judge Tuft. Not one of the
trust magnates helped to secure my u,
nomination, while it is a matter '"'[(j,
common notoriety that, they were'jp
conspicuous in the Republican (Jon- (h
vention, and U is equally common yj
notoriety that they tire supporting (.(
your party in 'his campaign. If you aj
win nil in** (i single oineiai connected [ w
with 'a law defying corporation in

"Hut there Is another fact which (j,
raises a presumption in fnvo' of our r(

\Vm. It. Hearst, who has been

t)f the Independence party in the
South and Middle West, returned
to New York Monday night and
soon afterwards issued a statement
concerning the challenge of CJovei
nor C. N. llaskoll, of Oklahoma.
In his recent speeches Mr. Hearst
had charged that Haskell, who .'s
now treasurer of the Democratic
national committee, sought in 189!)
to Influence Attorney (Jeneral Kraiiv
Monnett, of Ohio, to dismiss certai i
suits then pending against the Standard
Oil Company. In a telegram
to Air. Hearst, which he made publm
Sunday night, (Jovernor liaskcil
invited Mr. Hearst to publicly prove
liis charges before a committee of
editors.
Mr. Hearst refuses to accept the
suggestion of an editorial board of
arbitration in the following
language:
To the Associated Press: T nd.
dross (his communication to you, a*
I cannot have the slightest correspondence
or controversy with
man of Mr. Haskell's character.
"Mr. Haskell's proposition reminds
me of the well known story of the
burglar who was caught in the act
Ijy the police. When the police hurst
in upon him they found hint in front
of a safe which had been blown
open, with his tools in his pocket
a dark lantern in one hand and his
other hand on the valuables in the
safe. The police dragged the hurglar
to the court room aiul the judge
said to the culprit:
" 'Well, what have you to say for
yourself?'
"The burglar said: 'Rook-a-hero,
Judge, let's arbitrate this case.'
"The court records, the complaint
of the ex-Attorney General of Ohio.

assistant of the present Attorney
General of Ohio. Mr. Uurnett,

State of Oklahoma in the Rrnrie ()

Haskell and not 1.
"Mr. Haskell has had many yeark
In which to sue Mr. Monnett if that
gentleman committed a libel in naming
C. N. Haskell as one of the
men who attempted to bribe him
in the Standard Oil case.
