' JOHN D.ARCHBOLD'S TESTIMONY
Once moreHhe shadow of Standard Oil has fallen across the
land. -
I John D. Archbold, president of the oil trust, yesterday accused
an ex-president of the United States of blackmail and extortion.
That is what Archbold's testimony on the stand amounts to,
when you examine It closely.
Archbold swore he gave Treasurer Bliss $100,000 for the Roose
velt campaign of 1904.
He swore that Bliss told him that Roosevelt knew of and was
grateful for this contribution.
He swore that Bliss came back and asked for $150,000 at the re
quest of Roosevelt.
He swore that Bliss then told him he was making a mistake,
and intimated that his company would suffer for it.
He swore that after Roosevelt was elected he did suffer for it;
that Roosevelt began a persecution of the oil trust for no other
reason than that the trust had refused him the extra $150,000.
If these charges were made against an ex-president who had
retired, from public life they would not be of such import to the
people. -
But they are made against an ex-president who has returned ta
public life, who is now the candidate of the most progressive "men
and women of the country for the presidency, and therefore they are
very important.
For these charges are either true, or qlse they are a deliberate
attempt to cause the defeat of Theodore Roosevelt and the Pro
gressive party in November.
Roosevelt has denied the charges. He has made oublic letters;
