POS T U M
h:re'* a Reason "
HASKELL TO PRESIDENT
Says He Has Been Condemned
Without a Hearing.
Guthrie. Okla.. Sept. SO.— Governor Charle* N.
Haskell. -formerly treasurer of the Democratic Na
tional Committee, gave out a long letter to Presi
dent Roosevelt to-night repeating his published
defence to the charges made against him. The let
ter says in part: » t
Yesterday I was engaged in writing a com
munication to you as the Chief Magistrate of the
I'nited States! assuming that a few days of re
flection might hnve brought you to a realization
of the fact that the people "of our country had
placed you In the highest position of authority
and respect, and that With the authority you hart
a-f>umed the obligation of meting out equal and
exact justice to every citizen of our country; anil
that, realizing your obligation, you would know
that one of the principles of a free government is
that no man shall be condemned without a hear
ing; knowing that not one word that you -.aye
ever ?poken concerning me was of your personal
knowledge, but entirely hearsay which IMS
reached your ears as a result of intense partisan
conflict; that you do not know me personally and
'never hoard a word from my lips.
The serious character of your charge should
have suggested to you that you. a* Chief Execu
tive, should proceed with deliberation and cer
tainty before making, such hearsay statements
your own declarations.
Therefore I would have appealed to you a sec
end time to designate some tribunal that might
hear both sides of the question, investigate as to
the truth, and only condemn when guilt had been
reasonably established, but being interrupted by
receiving a newspaper ' which contains your last
statement. I lay aside my appeal for justice to
you. for the reason that I am convinced that, no
matter how dignified, great and honorable the |
office of President may be,, the present situation
ritsmrtjr demonstrates the fact that the occupant of
thai office may be without fairness. Justice or in
tegrity.
You have clearly demonstrated by hearsay doc
ument and by vacillating from one charge to an
otJier. by admitting that various of your charges
\v*-re without information, and therefore aban
doned, and yet without displaying the manhood
lo apologise for the for.ner untruthful statement,
that you seek another Ussue. It leads me to as
sert that I shall seek justice against you before
the people and in a court not subject to your
domination. Frankly* speaking, I could have/ar
rived at no other conclusion than that you. in
your reckless partisanship ant! disregard for the
rights of others, would pack a court or fix a
Jury.
Your attack upon me finally rested upon my
conduct toward the Prairie Oil and Gas Company
In this state. I have said that you were re
sponsible for granting a franchise before state
hood, thereby creating vested rights. Imi seek
to evade the issue and create wrong Impression?.
You said the Interior Department had no power.
except where crossing an .hUhii reservation.
You would have your readers believe that Indian
Territory was then conducting its own govern
ment, and that only parts of the .-;^iie were Ind
ian reservations.
Mr. Roosevelt, you know It Isn't true; you know
all the land was Indian land, without county,
township or territorial government. What hair
of integrity surrounded you last week, like the
mist, has faded away, and the Interior Depart
ment holds the record which convicts you.
In the office of the Interior Department the
records will speak as between us?. I say that
you granted that franchise. I say that you did it
at the solicitation of Senator I >epew and others,
and that within a few days thereafter, chiefly by
subscriptions of Standard Oil men. according to
Mr. Harriman. the sum of $260,000 in cash was
added to your campaign fund.
I challenge you to publish the records of the In
terior Department on the subject of this fran
chise; and. mark you. now. Mr. Roosevelt, you
must not garble the records nor suppress any of
them The public shall know the truth. It may
have been sufficient four years ago for you to
wipe out the truthful statement made by Judge
Parker by simply calling him a liar, but that was
four years ago. and your controversy now is with
a man who will not accept a bluff in exchange for
a receipt In full settlement. Any character of state
ment you make, that I have at any time during:
my entire life had any connection whatever with
the Standard Oil Company or any of Its sub-com
panies I am ready to refute and to show that,
such statement is a falsehood. '
You charged me with having attempted to bribe
the Attorney General of Ohio. That was presum
ably nine years ago. You have abandoned that
position. Charles P. Taft says, through his paper.
that no evidence was ever produced that would
convict me of the charge.
In touching upon the State University question,
you pretended to quote from "The Outlook" mag
:<7ine. " but how dishonestly you enlarged on th«
magazine article. That article chanced me with
substituting Democratic- for Republican profes
sors f:»r political purposes. I haw shown that
statement to b«» false, "but I cl^Jj-ce you with try-
Ing to enlarge- on that magazine article anil sire
the world the Impression that we were improperly
using the money appropriated to conduct that in
stitution. •
Your charge that I vetoed a child labor law
you have not apologized for-, notwithstanding you
knew that 1 did It with the approval of union
labor and that our state constitution, which you
.cnid was "so bnd your opinion of it would pot
look woll in print." contains more detail and child
labor legislation than nil you have recommended
to the New York legislature as Go\ernor or to
the Congress of the I'nited State* a«j Prudent,
and that 1 had approved fourteen acts of our
legislature ' passed at the solicitation of union
labor.
You said in your first statement that I had
suits brought against me to recover title to < reek
Indian land. I overwhelmed yon on that state
j ment. Adopting your usual policy, you iW from
that statement without just apology and adopt
j th» statement now thai it was government town
, eft? lots that you charged imp with being sued
I for. Yes. I believe I am a defendant as to cer
tain government town site lots in one of nearly
■ eleven thousand suits that you have had broueht
: neainst .is many different honorable and high
! minded citizen* of this state during this Presi
i dential campaign year. and you will not under
take to deny thai petty politics for the purpose
of Republicanisms about twenty thousand Indian
i voters was your sole motive for having t i •-«
| suits brought, and I charge you with knowing
that there na« been no delay In these cases, ex
cept that occasioned by the Court's delibei I -
i in ken by himself a-; time he deemed peces«arv to
consider whether or not tliere !«* any merit in
i the petit tiled by your attorney.
You say that on that land <iues..or. you will
! see that I get a hearing In court. Yes. sir. 1 will
com*; to your hearing Call to your assistance
i all the power that your high office commands,
present your o<s=e In any form you like. 1 am
', ready to meet it. and before It* conclusion the
I people of America will be disgusted thai Uiey

NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, THURSDAY. OCTOBER 1. 1908.
IT WAS "ALL HEARST"
(\ i xnmi tes ixcidesta L.
But Shcarn Himself Stamps Mr.
Hughe*' Rule "Clean."
The Independence League opened its Xe<v York
campaign last night with a mass meeting that will
probably figure as one of the most entertaining of
lt-J kind in local political history.
There was a lirtre crowd and much enthusiasm,
to which the band contributed it* quota. William
R. Hearst, the preceptor of the Independence
League, dominated the meeting. He was not pres
ent in person, but his "powerful Influence," to
which one of the speakers referred. was there and
made itself a potent factor In the oratorical strug
gle of the evening.
All the superlatives concerned his patriotism, his
personal disinterestedness in the campaign, hi?'
courage and a few other of his qualities, equally
superlative, and these references always "gel the
glad hand." -
Incidentally— to the audience it seemed quite "in
cidentally"—the name of Thomas L.. Hls.:en. the
Independence League candidate for President, was
mentioned, as was that of Clarence J. Sheam. who
Is running for Governor on the "league" ticket
and who was the principal speaker.
Mr. Bheattl shared the honors of the evening
with Arthur Brisbane, who spoke as the represen
tative of Mr. Hearst. Among the other speakers
were the candidates for Secretary of State, Attor
ney General and State Treasurer.
The speech of Mr. Shearn sounded to many like
a ras? from the political catechism of William R.
Hearst. Before the little man with the big voice
could make himself heard he had to listen to a
few minutes of cheering and music, and when the
audience refused to rise "en masse" the resource^
ful bandmaster played "The Star Spangled Ban
ner," and who wouldn't be thus inspired? The
Governorship candidate addressed his hearers as
•My friends," a form of address adopted Invariably
by Mr. Hearst.
Mr. Sheurn announced vehemently that he was In
the tight to win. Then. Just to prove that da was
his earnest determination, be launched an attack
on Governor Hughes and Lewis Stuyvesant Chan
l«-r. The latter, be said, "bought Ills nomination
on ,',. MurphyjConners marked-down bargain
counter, and give, up for it not th coin of the
realm but the banner of the Independence League
with which he had beer, Intrusted."
The speaker characterized Patrick H. Met arren.
Charles F. Murphy and William J. i"XIn B ey"M V.n
n.r.s as our "twentieth century trimmer*/; and told
what each thought of the other. whiclT-wus rath«
disparaging to all three.
The glorification of William R. Hearst began
early m the evening, when "Judse" James A. Don
egal, who presided, spoke of him as the great
champion of the "peepul." Th.- M.-M sp.-.K-r was
Colonel John T. Martin, formerly of Tammany
Hall who predicted that the election of Mr. Bhearn
would I'do away «-,„, -very 111/5 "He wasn't nonv
touted for fun/; .aid the colonel. "We had ■ hard
time to get him."
William a. De Ford, candidate for Attorney Oen
o,-l had some praise for Attorney General Jack-
Bon.'on irhoM stall '..<■ U n.»w an assistant. Mr. De
X..-.I mentioned the name of President Booaevelt.
and th.-re wm considerable applause. He sa d that
',.. President had b«vn handicapped by ■< itepub
li.-on Senate.
Mr Brisbane acknowledged the enthusiasm that
greeted him gracefully by saying thai he regarded
It ax a reflection of his friendship for Mr. Hearst.

CONNERS'S GREAT "FIND."
Quotes List of Hughes Contributors
Txco Years Ago.
Chairman Conners of the Democratic State Com
nifttee pot busy yesterday morning and dug up
a story from the public records. The narration was
a partial list of contributions to Governor Hughes's
campaign fund t ■•• years ago. "I notice." said
Mr. Connrrs, after assuring his auditors that the
national and state committees would make a big
fight for a Bryan victory In New York State, "that l
Governor Hughes says the people were behind th"
movement to elect him two years ago. I guess they"
were. Hero are some ■ f them, with the amounts
they contributed to his campalga fund "
Then Mr. Connors gave out a list of contribu
i tors, similar to thjiit which was filed, according to
law. after the election two years ago. Th* list is
headed by the name •>( J. P. Morgan, who is down
for $30.0C0, as is also I.evl P. Morton, vice-presi
dent of the Morton Trust Company. Andrew Car
i negie and John D. Rockefeller. Jr.. gave $5,001
! apiece Mr. Connors had carefully jotted down the
list of other contributors who gave as much as |G*9
apiece, the same list that was tiled With the Secre
tary of State two years ago. No mention was made.
however, of the contributors of small sums who
tacked the Governor. That might have spoiled
the effect that the Buffalo statesman was playing
for. Then Mr. ,C(nnors said the Democrats were
going to make a big tight for this state from now on.

SALOON MEN WARNED.
Head of License League Issues Call
for Elevating Trade.
Louisville. Sept. 30.— The National Model License
League, an organization of distillers, brewers, win
makers, wholesalers and retailers, with headquar
ters here, will begin SSI Friday the distribution of
an address to the saloonkeepers of the United
States. An attempt will he made to ptaee*^ ad
dress in the hands of every retailer In the country.
| The address i? written by T. M. "Him. >r». presi
dent of the National Model License League. Every
retailer throughout th" nation is called on to ob?y
the law and to meet the will of the people. At
tention is called to the fact that the r^ple are
opposed to the lawless saloon and to th* evils
which have been connected to a greater or less ex
tent with tb» sal- of alcoholic beverage. Saloon
keepers are warned that they must either respect
public sentiment and obey the law or lose their
legal right to do business.
The address is as follows:
The prohibition wave that was sweeping over
the country would seen to be on 'he wane, but
the protest en the part of the people against tie
lawless saloon the dive and the gambling resort
Is not subsiding, but. is exhibiting it* force in local
option conflicts.
" The people are demanding, and properly, that
their laws shall be obeyed. -
Society is moving forward, and the saloon must
move forward or be outlawed The edict hn* one
forth thai men must be sober if they' would be
fie,- and tew mm will now contend that a man
possesses an Inherent right to overthrow his rea-
MTh-»M Th-» edict has pene fcrth that saloons must obey
all laws- that they must not sell to Intoxicated
men nor to habitual drunkards, nor to minors;
th it' they must not exhibit improper pictures nor
connect themselves with gambling resorts; in a »
word, thrt the saloon must not be a nuisance.
The i.r<«s of the country has so declared, the
ministers have so declared, the law and order
league* lave so declared, the great conservative
element in society has so declared.
The** forces 'or Rood me all powerful in society
ml! our trade cannot afford to oppose them.
1 It would be foolish for us |.i orpos" th'-m. even
i though wt could do -> iucre«funv. because the
demiTids they are making are our demand*.
< >-ir trade need. " a bou«ecleaninc and we should
-Id the good work along. The saloon that is run
i ir violation of the law or of decency should be put
out of business an. i the better element in tne trade
should continue, to lead In the reform
i .\ saloon should be a decent resort, it should be
1 the worklngman's club: it should Inculcate real
temperance; It should irlve thought, Orel »f all. to
. the welfare of It." patrons: it should consider th»
- home the wife and the children; it should «e,-k to
elevate and not degrade those who visit it. am! if
It is run in violation of law. Us license should .»»
Could such conditions do harm to the business?
I Is It- unprofitable to »••• decent, to be lawahlding. to
1 he kind to do unto others as you would hare them
I do unto' you? We think that all of thai would pay
— and it would relieve th* 1 business of odium and It
! would permit prohibition to die a happy an.l peace
" I do not write this letter through any fear of
prohibition, becnus*- an experience of more than
half a century tells US that prohibition will not
prohibit and common sense tells us thai prohibi
tion will not prohibit, and the statistics of the
internal revenue department show conclusively
I that prohibition does not prohibit, but I write
I because 1 think the saloon i<« liable to ha super
seded ••>• unlawful sellers of alcoholic beverage I*,1 *,
a* \m the case now In all prohibition territory.
»nd because I think th« saloon run he and should
he a desirable and no! an undesirable factor In
society.
I write it because I think the press is right,
because V think th.- law ami order league.-* are
right, because I think the ministers who teach
| what the Bible teaches are right, because I think
I the great conservative element in society is
rUht
I write it because 1 know that th*- larger por
tion of saloonkeeper^ W»nl to obey the fawn;
want to see their bn«lae*« elevated: want 10 Md
the drunkard an etarnal farewell 1 ; and It is my
hope that in the not distant futur> every saloon
keeper who favors law. order, decency and t«»m
prrance will Join the National Model License
League and will stand a« we stand, with the
real forces of reform; and fully abreast of tlio
aiost a anted public sentiment.
