 T have read signed letters from kha Standard oil to headqunrtess RhoykfS1sr that MT. Foraker. while united States Senator, was in the pay of the Stand ard oil Company.
 Mir Haskell asserts the General Mo- netts disclosure must refer to nnsxse other Haskell with different inftiais.
 Here are the other court records of @HCtHST CdoG UT WHICH I1lS same O.. Ms Haskell, as Governor of Oklahoma. has been more successfully of service fo the Standard Oil.
 "A sub company of the Standard Olf Company. known as the Prairie Oil and Gas Company, was riding rough shod over the laws of Oklahoma and over the rights of the citizens.
 The Attorney General of the State of Oklahoma, alert to the interest of the citizens. went before the courts and secured an injunction to prevent this branch of the Standard oil Company from tearing up the public highways.
 The Attorney General secured an injunction against the Prairie oil anc Gas Company.
 ''Governor C. N Haskell, who was out of the State. telegraphed the At. torney General not to proceed against the oil company. When Governor Has. kell came back to the State he refused to allow the oil company to be tried on its merits.
 He secured private attorneys and went into a higher court and asked to have the injunction dissolved. not on the ground that the Attorney General was wrong in his procedure but on the ground that the Attorney General. being an officer of administration. had no right to proceed against the wish- es of the Governor. Governor Haskell won on that technicality and the wish es of the Governor being emphatic not to interfere with the Standard oil Com- pany, the Prairie Otl and Gas Com pany was allowed to proceed with its action regardless of the laws and with out trial on the merits.
 Remember. please. that make no assertion on my own authority. Here are the court records and I merely read from the court records"

 C.. Feb. 2s, 1905:
 My Dear Mir. A."-Yesterday I had a long talk with a friend in the Sem ate. whom you know I have always regarded as one of the strongest men in that body (Mr. B. a DemocraD. He is wholly and unalterably opposed to the President and guaranty fields pol ley vs. corporations, I think he is prepared to make a great fight against the vicious proceedings that the gov- ernment can open any books or re- veal any trade secrets because some think I am engaged in making too much money.
 He has the courage and ability to make a legal argument on the floor of the Senate, second to no man of that body. You ought to have a with him some day7
 our great man at the proper time would be a tower of strength and safety.
 He comes nearer to-day of being the leader of his party than any one man in 1t
