Standard OIL Denies Activity in Politics

s. C. T. Dodd, counsel for the Stand
ard Oil Company. has authorized a state
ment of which the following is a part:
In view of the many false and mis-
leading statements from various sources,
the directors of the Standard Oil company
deem it advisable to state to the COM
pany's shareholders and the public that
neither now nor at any time has the
Standard Oil company or any of its con-
stituent companies been interested in any
business not directly related with and
necessary to the petroleum trade
Neither is it true that the Standard
Oil company, John d. Rockefeller, or
any officer of the Standard Oil company
has taken part in securing the nominal
ton of any of the candidates for office,
as Is positively stated.
Furthermore, 1t is entirely untrue that
there is any Standard Oil Party banded
together for speculation in stocks, as is
so commonly charged. The name of
Standard Oil company is frequently used
by designing persons in the manipulation
of the stock market, but its use is I'M
warranted.

that typhoid germs will not live more
