ROOSEVELT A SHAMEFUL DEMAGOGUE
SAYS CHANCELI/OK DAY.
Rockefeller's Champion Huys I>cRpnorncy
Is Made Contemptible
Ry Revelation of Glaring Inconsistency
of (Thief 1 loos tor.
That the Standard Oil Company
remains under the venomous hatred
j' President Roosevelt, for reasons
best known on the inside, while the
Jteel corporation, the greatest tru<t
In America, receives his approbation
and consent to increase its holdings,
was the statement of Chancellor
James Roseoo Day, of Syracuse University.
The chancellor charges that not
rtnly did Roosevelt, when a candidate
for president four years ago, hobnob
with trust magnates and urge them
to secure money to elect him, but
that after his election he appointed
to a position in his cabinet a man
who held at the time a retaining fee
from a large corporation, that man
being still a member of the cabinet.
The interview follows: "The
things that I predicted more than two
years ago, and that are on record,
have come true, and other sequences
are hurrying to their conclusion
"Never has this country known
such a condition politically. Never
has It seen its president descend to
such a shameful degeneracy of demagogy.
Most of Its high moralities
far above trusts, which it considers
the sum of all vllliany, are made contemptible
by revelations of the glaring
inconsistency of the chief booster.
"For Senator Foraker to procure a
loan for political friends who wish to
purchase a paper fo rcontesting the
election shocks Mr. Roosevelt. Hut
the president was very 'practical'
when he wanted $'260,000 to put n.
where it could do most good when
his election was involved. What
was such a great sum to be used for?
"It is a sign of political corruption
for Senator Foraker to have correspondence
with an oflleer of the
Standard Oil Company, but only the
direction and privilege of Mr. Roosevelt
to call to Washington a 'practical'
man, the head of the greatest
railway corporation in the land, to
confer with him before he announced
his 'policies' to congress.
"The Standard Oil remains under
Mr. Roosevelt s venomous hatred for*
reasons well-known on the inside, but
the greatest trust in America receives
his approbation and consent to
increase its lioldngs.
"A representative of predatory
wealth is intimate counsel and i i
co-operation with Mr. Hitchcock until
discovery becomes inevitable. Then
he is forced to resign, not because
of the sin, but the sure discovery of
It liV Tuilitlnnl nnnmlnu
"The glass houses seom to he
tracking with ominous sound . The
Foraker-Archbold incident is shocking
to hypocrites Hut honest and
thoughtful men who are not hiding
facts to promote a cause, remember
the conditions of brigandage in the
legislature when every State' held up'
Industrial and transit corporations,
and demanded heir money or their
lives.
"Fortunately the culmination from
the White House carry no conviction.
So prejudiced, unfair and untrue are
they. They are humiliating, not
because they are from Mr. Roosevelt,
but because they nre fomr the
president. The otiico is disgraced,
rile people are covered with shame.
"The little postmasters are removed
for engaging in politics. The
most of the business of the presidential
office Is devoted to a political
campaign. Cabinets are called, Interviews
are furnished, telephone and
telegraph wires are kept hot, the
fferical force is worked far Into the
night?If the newspaper special correspondents
are to he believed?and

it the bit to go ou the platform.
"I know that no corporation resist

ban Standard Oil.
"Charges against Mr. Foraker for
jracticing as an attorney when in often
is absurd The very Rulary paM J
i senator proves that the copntry expects
hirn to employ his spare time
n some legitimate business.
"The eye of the American people
tro opened wide. They are not. all
loceived. What they need is to er?rci.se
themselves in tho judicial temframent.
They are too easy stampHied
by the frenzy of the mad reornier.

t
Gov, Charles N. Haskell, formerly (
treasurer of the Democratic national
committee, tonight gave out a long
letter to President Roosevelt repeat- ^
ing his published defence to the'
i 8
charges made against him. The let- .
tor, in part, is as follows: .
"The serious character of your I.
charge against nie should have sug-|
gested to you iiiat you. as Chief
Executive, should proceed with de- (
liberation and certainty before makt
1
ing such hearsay statements your

"Your attacks on tno finally rested (
on my conduct toward the Pralrli .
Oil and Gas Company in this State '
I have said that you were responsible
for grant ing a franchise before j
statehood, thereby creating vested
rights. You seek to evade the issue
I and create strong impressions. You
said the interior department hadi!

Indian reservation. You would have '
your readers believe that the Indian 1
Territory was then conducting its '
own government and that only parts 1
of the same were Indian reservations 1

Indian land without county, township '
or territorial government. What '
halo of integrity surrounded you las: '

and tin? interior department liold.j 1
the record which convicts you.
"You granted the franchise at the '
solicitation of Senator I)epew, and 1
a few days thereafter received $260,- 1
000 in cash for your campaign fund. *
"You charge me with having attempted
to bribe the Attorney General
of Ohio. That was presumably '
|
nine years ago. You have abandoned
that position. Charles P. Taft says 1
through Ills paper that no evidence
was ever produced that would con- '
vict me of the charge
"In touching on the State Unive I
sity question, you pretended to quote 1

"Your charge that I vetoed a child *
labor law, you have not apalogized 1
for, notwithstanding you know that 1
I did it with the approval of union

Following an attack of National

ire also to be investigated and repesentatlves
of the Democratic com
miiee jir? carefully Inquiring itit >
ho tlnnneial records of tho Kopubii
Jin committeemen. For several days
he corporation records of Mr. Cromvoll
have been under quiet invesigat
ion, but whether the reprosonjitives
of the Democaticr committee
uive learned anything of Mr. Cromvell's
tlnancial operntionH other than
no companies with which ho id
dentifled has not been mado known
Mr. Mack made the following
statement:
"The trust and corporation atlillaions
of George It. Sheiuon, troasirer
of the Republican national comnittee
,for the pjist 10 years make
nterestlng reading in view of the
ecent develepments in the campaign.
"I wish to recall in this connocion
that, because of these very nslociationn
of his. Governor Odoll in
1902 refused to permit the party
eaders to put Mr. Sheldon In 110mnatlon
for lieutenant governor.
Jovernor Odell at that time declare 1
hat he could not accept the rolomination
for head of the State i
icket if Sheridon were named aa
lis running mate. Rut while the
lepubllcan party has refused to put
ip Mr. Sheldon a name for a public
tlice, It luis for the identical reasons
if this refusal selected him for Its
ampalgn fund collector.
"This can not lie denied. Most
if the corporations with which Mr.
Jheldon is identified are capitalized
or millions. How much of their
took Is of the liquid varletv can b.?
aisily ascertained. Yet Mr. Roos?relt
has defended him, and his
esignation was not demanded when
dr. Dul'ont was invited to titap down
,nd out. Mr. lmPont was only Idonifled
with one trust, whilo Mr. Shel!on
is at the pnwont time intimately
onnected with no less than 17 prom*
nent financial concerns.
"Mr. Sheldon is a director of that
ompany. He is also treasurer and
irector of the North American comiany,
capitalized for $.10,000,000, a
oncern known as the 'mystery of
Vail Street.' It is but a few years
ack since he was prominently idenifled
with the 'whiskey trust.' A
lance at his connection with various
ompanies for the past 10 years will
xplain tersely the reason of his
iresent position. No further com
lent of mine is necessary."
The following are the corporations
hat Sheldon are more closely eo iected
with at this time:
American Locomotive Company,
irector.
The Bethlehem Steel Company, dleetor.
Cincinnati Northern Railway Comany,
director.
Peiroit Edison Company, director
