Haskell's record. II so, it was wflfu
ignorance on your part. | call your at
tention to the letter of Mr.. l.. L. Rus
SELL THE editor of the Morning Demo-
GRAFT of Ardmore, Okla, in which, writ
ing to you on Sept "a, 1908, he
states:
eff you were ignorant of such
charges it is because you refused to
read them when presented to you when
you visited Oklahoma last fall in the
interest of Candidate Haskell. AT that
time I personally presented to you ten
typewriter pages of charges against
| Mr. Haskell, covering, his operations in
Ohio, New York, Arkansas, Texas and
Oklahoma. The charges recently
made by Mr.. Hearst were all made by
me at that time
! "You ask that we leave the courts to
deal with Mr. Haskell. AS to some
matters the courts already have dealt
with him. AS to Others, various private
| individuals whom he has wronged, and
| the United States government on be-
| half of helpless Indians whom he has
wronged are striving to have the
courts so deal with them. Mr.. III. L..
! Mott, national attorney for the Creek
nation, writes me as follows:
Compares Records of Parties.
ITO show the difference between
deeds and words I will compare the
record of this administration with the
record of one of your most prominent
supporters at the moment, Mr.. Olney,
attorney general under the last demo-
cratic administration. While Mr.. Olney
was attorney general no cases what
ever were brought under the antitrust
law against combinations of capital.
the only new cases which he brought
being directed against combinations OF
worlSingmen.
During that entire administration
the only cases brought against combi-
nations of capital under the antitrust
act We're four in number, two of which
were unsuccessful, one of the other
two being the case which was decided
the government.
Under this administration mass of
such cases have been brought includ-
ing the case against the Northern Sc
curities company; against the beef
packers; against the Federal Salt COM
pany; against the General Paper COM
pany; against the Otis and other large
elevator companies: against The Ameri-
can Tobacco company; against the
powder trust; against the Virginia
Carolina Chemical company; against
the Standard Oil company, and 9TH
ers.
Points to Many Convictions.
TN a number of these cases the gov
ernment already has succeeded by in
functions and otherwise Some of the
cases are now pending. In hardly any
important case against great law
breaking corporations has the govern
ment suffered final defeat
"As regards suits to suppress rail-
way abuses, under the last democratic
administration there were no indict-
ments against shippers for receiving
rebates or secret rates. Under my ad-
nlinistrations there have been forty
nine indictments for secret rebates, re-
sulting in eighteen convictions. and In
only four cases have these indictments
failed. The other twenty-seven cases
are still pending Among the railroads
which have been convicted are the Chi
fcago & Alton, Chicago, Burlington g.
Quincy, the New York Central. the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, and
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
while scores of cases are still pending
against other leading railroads.
.'Tn October 1906, Mr.. Foulke, of
Richmond, Ind, was sent to investigate
the matter of the town site frauds in
the Creek nation. Mr.. Foulke's report
is in the hands of the secretary of the
interior All parties connected with
these town site frauds have used the
same means and methods.

"'Upon the report filed by Mr.. Foulke
I, as attorney for the Creek nation
was directed by the secretary of the
interior to file salts in equity for the
cancellation of all deeds to town lots
in the Creek nation where the same
had been secured by fraud
proceeding upon instructions and
after full Investigation, l found that
Governor G. N. Haskell, among others,
had secured deeds to a number of lots
in Muskogee by conspiracy and fraud;
that he had had these lots scheduled
in the name of dummies or straw
men who lived In the state of Ohio and
elsewhere, land then had them quit

ton BY this dishonest means he sue

Der of lots belonging to the Creek In

ct have filed number Of suits
against Governor Haskell, in which
conspiracy and fraud is charged and
the manner of concentrating it is set
out in detail. Haskell has not filed any
answer in any of these cases. He has
simply, thru his attorney, filed dllatory
motions, such as demurrers, pleading
to the jurisdiction. etc. He dare not
answer and deny the allegations set up
in our bill; SUCH an answer would be a
sworn lie, and known to be by the large
number of straw men and dummies
he used in perfecting the fraud

"For this particular act of the man
whose public record you indorse, you
may rest assured that the interior de-
partment will endeaver to see that the
courts do Justice to him.
