tlTGS OF ms own Tree Will ana you Ut
ter no word Of condemnation of hii
gross offenses against public decenc!
and honesty. on the contrary yoI
strive to make it appear that his mis-.
conduct in r|efcrcn7 e to the standard
Oil company is all Oh which he IS &C
cused; whereas, shameless though
this particular act of his is, it is ne
worse than countless others in III
career. | contrast your action in thi.
case with that Of Mr.. Taft in reference
to Senator Foraker. Mr.. Taft's state
ment when the question of his nomi
nation was at stake was that he would
rather o accept it at the price o.
sacrificing principle by supporting Mr.
Foraker for senator. You don't ven
ture in so much as tho slightest pos
sible manner even 10 censure Mr.. Has
kell for his manifest misdeeds; ant
you ask that he be held guiltless o.
them until convicted in q court OF
law, although you well know that as
regards the worst Of them no actor
in a court OF law would lie. You 50,
you were ignorant Of Mr.. Haskells
record. If so. it vas wilflul ignor
ance on your part. ! call your atten
ton to the letter Of Mr.. l.. r. Russell
aditor OF the Morning Democrat o
Ardmore, okla, in which, writing tC
you on September ~, 1908, he states
IF you were ignorant OF suel
charges it is because you refused to
read them when presented to yot
when you visited Oklahoma last fal
in the interest of Mr.. Haskell At tina
time | personally presented to you ter
pages of typewriter charges agains'
Mr.. Haskell, covering his operation
in ohio, New York, Arkansas, TeXa
aud Oklahoma. The charges recent
made by Mr.. Hearst were all mad,
by me at that time
you ask that We leave the court
to deal with Mr.. Haskell. As to som
matters the courts have already de-
with him. As to others various prI-
waite individuals whom he has wrong
ed, and the United States government
on behalf Of helpless Indians, whom
he has wrongcd, are striving to have
the courts so deal with him. Mr.. NJ
l.. Mott, national attorney for the
Creek nation. writes me as follows
In October, 1906, Mr.. Foulke, o
Richmond. Ind was sent to inyesti
matters Of the townsite fraud
in the Creek nation. Mr.. Foulke's re
port Is in the hands OF the secretar!
OF the interior. All parties connecte'
with these toWusite frauds have UseC
the same means ana methods. Upor
the report filed bv Mr.. Foulkc ! as at.
torney for the Creek nation, was di.
rcctcd by the secretary of the interio
to file suits in equity for the cancella
ton of all deeds to town lots in the
Creek nation where the same had
been secured by fraud. Proceeding
upon instructions and after fun in

dishonest means he succeeded in get.

belonging to the Creek Indians at one
