expressed a wish for an investigation;
and on his request the Post- '
oftlce Department, through its in- 1
epectors, made such an investiga- I
lion. Me stated in reference to
litis circular: 1
"I have not bought any land
anywhere in the West nor under- 1
taken to buy any. 1 have made 1
some inquiries, as one naturally
would, in roaming through the
West. 1 simply want the people
of the country to be put on notice
that litis swindler at Portland lias
no warrant whatever for endeavoring
to inveigle others into his
game."
The President then goes on to
state:
This is a confidential report of
a type usually not furnished, but
in this case the matter is so serious
that f feel I should put it
in-mi r > mi. i ciicioj-c yon aiso
as ox hi hits 1 > 1. I):', 1)1 and 1)5,
photographic fac-siinllles of lettors
and envelopes and telegrams
from Senator Tillman and hi,
agent, William 12. Lee.
I do not <1 nv the anl hont ici*y of
the lei l r or the telegram, of which
photographs were made. 1 presume
the htter from William 12. Lee is
also a correct copy, hut I was not
aware of its existence until now,
and I am not in anywise responsible
for Mr. Lee's ideas expressed
in it. The President says:
On October 110, 1007, Senator
Tillman wrote a Pier (I2xhihit
1 >rt ) to Messrs. Render & Walkins,
of Marshlleld, Ores., who
were attorneys representing people
who were applicants for the
purchase of certain wagon-road
and grant land; Do-r was a land
agon' making his filings through
ltoed >r &. Watkins. Senator Tillman's
letter runs, in part, as follows;
"I wired you from Wausau,
Wis., as follows, ami write to confirm
it; 'William 11. Leo, my
agent, will see you about land.
I want nine quarters reserved.
Will forward signed replications
and money at once. Members of
my family are entrymen. Letter
follows. (Signed) It, it. T. I
wri'e now to say 1 wired Mr. Lee,
who resides at Moscow, Idaho, to
go at once to Marshfield and see
you about the land, to locate
quarters for the seven members of
my family who are of ago, and one
for my private secretary, J. It,
Knight, whom I desire to let into
the deal, and, of course, ho wants
a quarter for himself."
The letter continued, stating
in detail what was to ho done, in
order to enable the Senator to get
the land.
II will ho noted that l accused
Dor in the Senate of being a swindler
and asked the Postofllce ! moartment
to issue a fraud order against him
Don- declared in his circular:
So sure is Senator Tillman ?>!
our success that he has subscribed
and paid the necessary foes for a
quarter section for himself and 10
other quarter sections for 10 of his
nearest relatives.
It was this t?o!d and outrageous
iHisennou, inaintv, that cause I me
(o denounce Dorr as a swindler, a.'
well as to declare in the Senate that
he had no warrant for the assertion.
The sleuths which the President
put upon my trail have made
their report, and a perusal of it will
show to any fair mind' that so far
from endeavoring to justify yh?
fraud order against Dorr, they were
really put to work to investigate
me, and endeavor, if possible, to
discover something to my discredit
while the President directed the investigation.
I say this becaues it
is hardly possible that a postoillee
inspector wouid set about get ling
pholographich copies of the latter of
a United States Senator and trying
to convict him of lying if the orders
did not come from a high source.
Let us suppose for a moment tha*
J was guilty of a falsehood in do
elating that I had not undertaken to
purchase any land. What did that j
have to do with Dorr's transparent
and open use of tiie mails to induce
men to send him money to purchase
land? Doors declaration that
I had paid the fees is an absolute
falsehood, and the postodico inspectors,
while they searched the records
for entries at Conmile and noted
tiiat Reeder & Watkins had tiled
"several hundred applications,"
nowhere mentioned that any hid
been filed in mv name or for me
Therefore the falseluod is proven on '
Dorr, and yet the President doclar- !
.. ed:
The assault whioh Senator Till- (
man made upon Mr. Dorr was. '
according lo tho inspector, a wan- '
ton assault made to cover up Senator
Tillman's own transactions. '
No such statement was made by '
the inspector. In fact, so earnestly 1
Intent on convicting Senator Tillman 1
is the President, ho actually com 1
ml La himself lo this proposition, to ^
wit: Tillman voluntarily and with- r
out any compulsion from any source '
and with nothing to conceal brought K
up a matter in the Senate which he
need not have done to cover up 0
transactions which were absolutely
unknown to anyone except himself ''
and "his correspondents, Hoed or & "
Watklns, and were entirely honor- ?
aide and clean. My exposure closed w
out the swindlers. Dorr, when his
VVy - J
nail w us not delivered, retired
roni the land business nud became
i fruit mower, as reported by the
* spectors.
The swindlers had secured a good
nany thousands of dollars before
he exposure in the Senate stoppe-.
>eople from being duped, ami y ,f
l'heodoro Roosevelt, who poses as
he only rc.valning honest man in
public 1 i f??, in the face of these
facts lias fell called upon to attack
the character of a man whose in:e;?
rit.y has never before been questioned,
and whose oillcial position
is second only to his own.
In doing this he makes a false
declaration, for the inspectors nowhere
say any such thins as above
quoted, which can he proven by a 1
examination of tlicii report.
Now, about the lying: My letter
of February ir>, of which t.lie President
secured a phoi ographich copy,
antedates by four da; s niv statement
in the Senate that I nnd not bough
any land, or undertaken to buy any,
and the President considers this positlve
proof of falseheod. l did not
say ! had not considt ?'od the purchase
of land; 1 di 1 n 1 ..ay I lrad
not contemplated purchase of lanl,
because | had don" both. In my
conversat ion with the At toriiey-(?eueral
in regard to the l-csnlnti/iM
which I introduced, mid which ue
himself prepared nfiei we had talk? d
over the whole land situation, 1 distinctly
remember t< lling him that
my interest in the matter had hern
f-rst aroused by mv desire1 to purchase1
some of tin1 timber land, and
that my coming to him was due to
the fact that I discovered upon investigation
t-hat 1 could not. buy it
even by a lawsuit, because I was a 1vised
by very able lawyers in th 1
West, among them the Hon. (leorge
Turner, of Washington, that in attacking
the holders of those Ian I
grants no one would have any stand
ing in court except the grantor, the
lovernment itself. See Nichols v.
Southern Oregon Co., Fedora] Keporter,
vol. 1 p. L'3 I.)
I was perhaps disingenuous; hut
a moment's thought will eonv'nej
any honest-minded man that?as I
had not signed any papers, had not
paid any money, had taken nohody s
receipt, usual processes by which one
"undertak< s" to hoy land?I waspeaklng
accurately and not falsely
Everything hinges on the moaning
of the word "undertaken" and mv
use of it. Did 1 mean to conceal tin
fact that 1 was anxious to buy aomc
of this land? Not at all. Did )
moan to attack Dorr as a swindle!
when I myself was engaged in a dishonest
and dishonorable transaction?
That is what (he President
would have the people believe. Can
1 he just 1 v charireft won
f-, , m ...?? lUioriUMUl
when if 1 hud told the Senate of tin
entire transaction it would hav<.
made no difference whatever, whih
I would have been charged with intruding
my private affairs into n
public discussion? .lust what law
did I break? What wrong did I
hi or contemplate? According ti
the report of the Attorney-Clonerai,
in answer to the resolution which I
introduced and which passed th"
Senate, Ifarriinan, the President's
dear friend, still holds in defiance
of law upward of 2,Odd,000 acres of
tlie best lands of Oregon and Call
fornia and refuses to sell them at
any price. 1 never expected, and
.could not under the terms of the
law as 1 construed it. get more than
seven greater sections for myself
and family, one for my private secretary,
and one for Mr. Lee, making
nine in all. This, in the aggregate
would mean that I would obtain
through my activity here, as the
President's charge is, nine quarter
sections, or fourteen hundred and
forty acres, at a cost of $-l,r>00. \V II
the President undertake to say thai
I have lost my right to buy land because
i am a Senator? Can the
President deny that my activity secured
the passage of the resolution
instructing the Attorucy-Cioneral to
bring suit for the recovery of thin
land for the use of actual settlors?
If llarriman and others like him an
made to disgorge by reason of these
suits, shall the fact that t wn? <>"
deavoring to buy a little pittance of
the land b'1 used as tho basis of a
charge of being a liar and a corrupt
Senator ? to be digraced?
To sum up, this is a brief re sumo
of tho entire transaction:
While in Spokane, Wash., in October,
3 1)07, I first hoard that there
were timber lands in Oregon which
were being bought through Reeder
& Wat kins, of Marshllold. On October
f> I wrote to Reeder & Watkins,
asking for information, telling
them of my desire to purchase
lomo of the land if possible. Desiring
to find out if the conditions
>f the grant to the State of Oregon
uiiiue il possible lor "purchasers'*
ind not "actual settlors" to buy at
f2.r,0 per acre, I wired the librarian
>f the Senate for a copy of the act.
''hiding that that part of the statenent
received from a gentleman in
Ipokane was correct, 1 notified Rood
r & Wat kins on October 2 0 that
1r. Lee, whom I had seen at Mosow,
Idaho, in the meantimo and
alked with on the subject, would
:o to Marshfleld and investigate in
orson. I authorized I-.ee to draw
n me if he found that the land*
'ere what they were represented to
e. Lee's authority as my agent
ever went beyond an examination
f the land and, if the application
as filed, to see that I got good
mber lands instead of rocks and
J
J marshes. lie wired mo not to be
in a hurry, as there were obstacles ( <
iti the way. In the meantime 1 hi / . <
talked with lawyers who were familiar
with the military road land
grants, and they informed me thai
under a decision c-f the oircuit com i
private parties were not permitted
to sue for those lan's. Still daunting
whether I could purchase tielands
\.*iih any hope of successful
litigation, 1 wrote to Senator (Jeorgo
Turner, of Washington, to get hH
opinion and iix-idi-nt ally t-o make
inquiry about lands on the Columbia
river, in that State. He gave t h
same opinion that 1 had already re.
coived from the other lawyer.
Realizing after 1 got to Washington,
I). in December that it was a
very doubtful proposition, 1 let thel
matter diop until Mr. Dee showed I
me a letter from Roeder & Wat kins,
which has been stolen from my
desk in my committee room along
with other papers in this ease, probably
by some of t lie Secret. ServJc*
sleuths, and when they indicated
their desire that 1 should exert in>
intluenc" in the Senate, I wrote the
letter of February la, of which the
I'resdent obtained a photographic
copy. in the meantime and before
that letter was written, from my
investigations and after a conference
with t he At tot ney-CJenoral, I
introduced the two resolutions of
lantiarv 1. one calling on the Attornoy-denoral
for information, and
the other (the joint resolution)
which became a law, instructing him
to institute suits.
My olilcial activity then is shown
to have taken form in the Senate before
I knew anything about Rooder
& Watkins' attitude or expectations
and I was in no wav influenced by
t hem.
I was still anxious to obtain sonm
of the land if it could be done legally,
and wrote Render & Watkins
to that effect, but my faith in them
and in the whole scheme died when
I received the circular of Dorr, which
came to me on February 17 and IS
from three different directions, show '
ling the widespread distribution
made of them. Also Mr. Lee's report
to me had led me to believe
i that Reeder & Watkins were not of
the caliber and character to bo emi
ployed in a matter of such magnitude,
except probabiy as to their
; familiarity with the local conditions
' and their ability to locate quarter
sections which were well timbered,
> as they were in the possesion of a
[ cruiser's map. Dorr of whom I had
never heard before, was evidently
pushing his scheme of getting suck
- ors to invest and using my name, as
I 1 i ? *
i i iiu>< inuicaiou. wnnout authority
i | Iichuiso I had not paid any fees to
I hint or written to him or tiled any
> applications. I therefore felt it in>
omnbent on me to expose the swindle
? in the Senate, which 1 did on the
19th of February, and asked the
i postolliee authorities to issue a fraud
' order.
I pressed the passage of the joint
> resolution in the Senate, and on
, April 30 it became a law. March I ?>
I was taken ill. and on May 1 0, after
a partial recuperation I sailed for
10urope, returning October 21.
The President's sleuths, set to do
the dirty work of spying on a Senator
when that Senator had exposed
a fraud which was being perpetrated
on the public, reported to him on
July 27. 1 had nothing whatever
to do with the chance in the law of
which the President complains in
regard to the Secret Service.
So the President's animus Is nor
against mo on the same ground for
which ho has attacked Messrs. Tawney,
Smith and others in the House
but one of personal malice engendered
by hatred because of my course
in the Senate during the last seven
v> KU\ I ft.
I have not attempted to deceiveanybody;
1 have not told any falsehoods;
I have not. otoken any law.
1 have not been guilty of any immoral
conduct. I had the right to
purchase the land if I could, bir.
my judgment told m v it was unsafe
as an investment. I would like to
get some of it yet. and if the Attorney-Goneral
and his successors
shall not die of old age before anything
is done it ntnv bo possible that !
| I
1 will have the opportunity to purchase
some of those timber lands of
which he made mention in his report.
(rf Doc. No. 27D, 60th Cong.,
1st sess.) Through my action attention
has been directed in a compelling
way to the need of prompt
action by the Department of Justice.
Whether I ever get any of the
land or not does noc mater if liar
i .1114 111 .mil uuhth or mac 11k are i
mado to disgorge tho large holdings i
which they have stolen and are attempting
to hold. 1
The President sayv: i
On October 20, 1007, Senator
Tillman wrote a letter to Messrs.
Ueeder & Watkins. of Marshlleld,
Oregon, who were attorneys representing
people who were applicants
for tho purchase of certain
land-grant land. Dorr was a land
agent making his filings through
ltceder & Watkins. c
This statement is misleading an.l l
calculated to deceive. The report of (
the postofllce inspectors gives the c
actual truth. It says: e
Among the most active agents in r
this matter is tho firm of Ueeder & li
Watkins, of Marsh field, Oreg. Mr. t
Ueeder is a real estate agent an I a
Mr. Watkins an attorney. They t
have associated themselves togethor r
in locating applicants on these lands, fi
)
Farther, Render & Watkins, by i
circulating & shrewdly worded clr- t
cul.'.r long before IX>i i appeared on j
tin- scone, sought to make mouey by t
having persons pay them '$21 in t
cash for filing an application with t
the clerk of court uud tendering to I
i be company $400 ncr quarter wt- 1
tion, which the law originally con- i
templated hh the p* ice of land, t
They were to receive $100 additional i
whenever the Southern Oregon i
Company should convey the title, ]
and they knew that no one could 1
compel thiH conveyance except the
I'nited States (Government, because
a similar case had been decided in
the I'nited States eoutt so declaring, i
(See Nichols v. Southern Oregon
Co., Federal Reporter, vol. 135, p. i
234.)
I commenced to investigate on the
5th of October, and 1 made direct
application to Ueeder & Watkins, by
telegram and by letter, on the 20th
of October. Dorr old not appear
until early in 190X, as shown by tlie
report of the postolTico inspectors,
and ltis career ;is a swindler was
brief, as I exposed the whole tiling
in t he Senate on February 19. Tin?
President had the papers and knew
ail this. Render & Watkins were receiving
$2 1 for the insignificant
work of making a tender to the hold
ing company and filing a notice wltn
the clerk of the court. Dorr was
to share in this comnussion, or whatever
you term it, fo?* whatever bus
iness he brought, and yet the President
would convey the impression
that these Mings were merely such
..s are usual in purchasing government
land, when he knew or could
have easily found our from the Attoriiey-fleneral,
that all such propos
ed purchasers could not thus bring
any suit. In the i'gbt of the evidence
as presented to the President
himself, the scheme was a swindle
to obtain $2 1 in cash, and must he
apparent to all. Hut the President
acquitted Dorr and convicted me.
Hy this time I had found out the
legal status, and decided I would not
sign a contract, tile an application,
or pay any money, and my only reason
for writing to Iteeder & Wat kins
on February 1 "> was to have them
understand that Leo misconceived
my attitude in the Senate, and that
I was not to be considered as a tool,
but acting in tbo interest of the public.
Remember I knew nothing of
Mr. Dee's letter till sent in by the
President. At the same time I was
willing to use them in locating desirable
quarter sections, if later on
I found that the action of Congress
would make it possible to restore tinland
to the public domain by the
cancellation of the patents.
The President lays great stress on
the statement of mine made the lath
of February in a letter to Recdor &
Watkins. lie italicizes the words
"as well as myself," as though it
were unlawful, immoral, or Improper
for a Senator to buy any land or to
act in nils Chamber < n any question
affecting his personal interest. I
fail to see any sense or reason in
this position, hut I must submit that
to t lie judgment of the Senate and
the country. I had not become a
party to any litigation; I was not interested
except as a private individual
wanting to purchase, and as a
Senator desiring to enable others to
have the opportunity to do so. Of
course, the President is sure that I
have done something very discreditable
and outrageous. lie hates me
and would destroy me if he could.
The President gloats over the fact
that mv letter was written "just four
days before lie announced in the '
Senate that In* had not undertaken (
to buy any land in the West" as ^
clinching his contention that I have
lied to the Senate. The records show
that in the interim i ho Dorr circular
had been sent to me, for on
February 1!), when 1 made the exposure
of Dorr,, 1 said in tlie Senate: '
in the last day or two I have '
had my attention called to a
scheme of swindling, etc. *
It is easy for those who are them- ?
selves vulnerable to convict others f
on the most flimsy evidence, and the a
President seems to work on that
theory. \
On reading Dorr's circular the
whole scheme and combination of
swindlers?Render & Watkins, in
Marehllcld, and Dorr, in Portland; i
did not know anything about Conro , (
and Schaefer?flashed on my mind;
and remembering Lee's somewhat
dubious report as to the character
and qua 11 float ions of the firm of
Uoeder & Watkins, 1 decided at once
to see to it that my name should not ?
be used to inveigle others into their
crarne. Hence my action in the SenRe.
The President dismisses with a
wave of the hand any possibility of
my honestly by saying:
It is unnecessary to comment on
his proposal made in this letter
to use his influence as a Senator ,
to force the Government to insti- '
tute a suit which would make it
easy for him personally to obtain
fiomo of the land.
It might he well to inquire whethtr
or not the Attorney-General ha*
icon ordered not to obey t no law of
Congress passed last April?which 1
all the "Tlllman-Ilonaparte" law? *'
rderlng suit to be instituted for the
ecovery of these lands. My culpa- j
illty is of such magnitude in conomplating
the purchase of 1,440
ores of land at $2.60 an acre in
he eyes of this stickler for official
ectitude in others that it may he
ound that he is determined to block
J
<
ny so-called "nefarious transacious.
The man who announces to Con- j|
(ress that he, Theodore Roosevelt,
ii?uiiip? the rlkht to permit the 8teei
rust to absorb Its greatest rival con:rary
to law would doubtless uot
hesitate to help bis dear friend Har K
riman in holding 2,000,000 ucres of f'
:he public domain, because lien Till- #
man lias contemplated and wanted t<
to buy 1,4 4 0 acres. The President ^
having convicted Tillman, proceeded P
to clear ixirr in both cases contrary h
to the facts and smilingly retires -4
from the center of the stage, which w
it is his greatest delight to occupy, t
and complacently looks to have the c
American people and the Senate give a
their approval to Lis verdict. 1 r
await the verdict calmly and without l
fear, and will gladly abide by it. u
In conclusion, Mr. President, 1 t
court the most searching investiga- r
ton. Nay, i demand it. I declare 1
most emphatically 1 have never t
sought to conceal my efforts to buy v
land; I spoke to the Attorney-Goneral
about it; I explained to the agent. I
to the secret service the whole trans- <J
action when I gave him the Dorr clr- c
cular and the letters which had been v
sent me concerning it. The question r
of motive will at last control and it ?
cannot be shown that I had any e
reason to conceal anything. 1 invite
comparison of my private life
and my public work as a man an.I a
Senator with Theodore Roosevelt ov \
any other man and feel absolutely
sure of the ground upon which i s
stand. (j
