years experience in the House, some
time under one party control, some

seen the responsible political party &c

the sentiment of the people. Mistakes
have sometimes been made, as in the
case Of the Wilson bill, enacted by the
Democratic Congress, but l believe
that the representatives in the House
earnestly tried to do what they thought
the people wanted. They were misied
by the hasty judgment passed on the
Mex inley law and which would not in
my opinion not have happened had the
Republicans had more time to explain
that bill on the stump.
THE Republicans made no mistake
when they elected the Dingley law

they will make no mistakes in the bill

In view of the existing conditions the

reason is the heavy wight of the embank-

Statement From White
House About Prairie Oil.
No Truth in Story Published
In a New York Paper.
10 Such Report As That Alleged
Was Ever Made.

Washington, Nov. 24-The following
was given out at the White House to-
day:
LAS the New York Sun story entitled
Roosevelt and Prairie OH has seemed
tc deceive a number of people, the FOL
lowing statement is made public
about it:
AS soon as the story was brought
to President Roosevelt's attention he
not only called for reports concerning
the statement from the department OF
Justice and the department OF the lntc-
rior, but also communicated with eX-
Secretary Hitchcock so as to be sure
that the Presidents recollection was
not at fault.
"The story is false in every particu-
TAR from beginning to end. Not only is
there no such report in the department
OF justice and never has been but no
such report was ever made. In grant
ing the franchise of the Prairie Oil Co.
the President simply approved the rec
ommendation of Secretary Hitchcock,
submitted TO him precisely as all oth-
ar recommendation are submitted.
"MOreOvcr, in every case reference to
the granting of franchises on the adop-
ton Of regulations as regards Oil and
gas franchises in Oklahoma and the
Indian Territory, the President ap-
proved the recommendation of Sec.
Hitchcock with the exception of one
small and unimportant grant to a Del
aware Indian, to whom the Delaware
Indians, in recognition of eight years
service TO the tribe, had voted in coun-
ell fee Of $50, 00l which he declined to
accept and who was given twice the
whole amount of land.
THE statement about the alleged
promise to a Western senator is as ri
diculous a falsehood as the rest of the
story"
