Cover His Trail By Citing Ac
tion Taken B- Bourne
" l^Ho,
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2^-MS*^
States Senator Bourne of Ores*? Cj,*
day replied to Roosevelt's statemeT*.*!
yesterday that he and former Con
gressman Sibley of Pennsylvania were
the only legislators who ever called
at the White House during his admin
istration regarding the .Standard Oil
Company. Bourne said he was Bur
prised at Roosevelt's dragging in his
name and that he failed to see how
What he did in 1908 has any bearing
en the present political situation.
Bourne Only a Peacemaker
- Bourne explained that In 1908 he
endeavored to settle the differences
between the government and the Stand
-Wii Oil Co., saying, '-Believing that
■uch results would prevent the con
tinuance of the panic started in
I*o7, and that the government could
iecure much better terms by settle
ment than through the court."
He declares ho to.fl Roosevelt that
he thought the time opportune to
make a settlement with the Stand
ard Oil i'o. and to SOutf their co
operation in gettlAi fc.ieinl incor
poration _ law "That .voultl provide a

Bourne A|>;>ri,.u-..ed ArehboM
He said Kou:._*v..!t dotfbted the
tooeslbillty of n settlement. Bourne
says without I_uc.sev.rlt'.-. knowledge he
■went to New York and explained to
.J_rchbold the advantages of a federal
Incorporation law. Archbold was will
ing to compromise with the govern
ment and favored a stringent federal
•Jaw. Later conferences were held
-with a representative of the depart:
ment of Justice. Bourne says his on
ly interest was to minimize the panic
and to secure the support of big busi
ness interests for a virile federal in
corporation law.
Had no Personal Interest
Bourne declares he never had any
Interest In any of the Standard Oil
Co.'s that neither Arch bold nor his
associates ever talked to him regard
ing legislation other than "My talks
•with him on this law and popular
government fundamentals."

KANSAS ELECTOR'S
CASE IN U.S. COURTS
Judge Sanborn Has Under Advise
ment the Motion to Enjoin
Secretary of State
DENVER, Sept. 2. —Judge Sanborn
of the United States circuit court of
appeals sitting as district judge, lats
today took under advisement the case
in which an attempt is being made
to enjoin Charles Session, secretary of
state of Kansas, from certifying to the
county clerks of Kansas the names
of eight national electors of Kansas
who have explained determination to
vote for Roosevelt.
The contention of the electors is
that President Taft and Vice Presi
dent Sherman were nominated for re
election by fraud. Both parties say
they will appeal regardless of San
born's decision. The plaintiffs con
tend that the regular republican parry
of Kansas, as a party, recognized at
the Chicago convention and the names
of electors who will not support the
candidates named that convention
have ao right on the regular repub
lican ticket.

MAKE FORUM OF
SCHOOLHOUSE
Dosevelt Thinks State Should
Contribute Use of Buildings
for Political Purposes
• AVORS CONTROL OF
INSURANCE COMPANIES
Progressive Candidate Begins
Month's Tour of Country and
Is Greeted with Immense
Crowds as He Makes Journey
NEW YO*kK, Sept. 2. —Theodore
Roosevelt struck out on the trail of
the Hnndana handkerchief today to
follow it on a month's journey to the
four corners of the country. His first
day's trip took him into, Connecticut
and Massachusetts. He then turned
westward. He was greeted at every
stop by large crowds. He discussed
socialism, one of Woodrow Wilson's
speeches, tariff, democrats and the
weather. He spoke feelingly of the
weather for he made some speeches
standing bareheaded In the rain.
Make Forum* of Schoolhouses
The colonel announced his belief
that the national government should
help to lighten the expense of politi
cal campaigns. He declared himself
in favor of the control of Insurance
companies by the national government
and said school.iouses should be used
for political meetings and polling
places. He said it ought not to be
necessary for parties to hire buildings
in which candidates speak. "We have
school houses in which they can
speak. We can make each schooi
house a senate chamber of the plain
people."
Government Control of Insurance
Regarding insurance companies he
said: "The national government must
inevitably assume control over busi
ness operations of many kinds that it
never before has touched. For in
stance, the national government will
have to exercise control over insur
ance business not to the extent of
interfering with the taxing of the
wtntes but as properly to regulate
and protect lnSwajne companies."
The only speech he hud" planned ti
deliver today was at Hartford, but
at. almost every stop he found crowds
which cheered until he spoke.
