the mustiness represents the exist

FORAKER ANSWERS CHARGES
Assars Taft and Roosevelt In Lengthy
Reply.

Cincinnati, Sept. Ex-senator For.
aker has issued statement replying
to the recent charges made by Will
lam r. Hearst and President Roose-
welt. In addition he bitterly assails
Hearst, Taft and the president, charg-
ing Taft with eonsorting with Stan
dard Oil magnates himself and declar-
ing that President Roosevelt's actions
indicate guilty conscience.
In the opening paragraph Mr.. For
aker declares that the president
showed bias in accepting as true all
the charges. He denies that he acted
improperly in accepting employment
from the Standard Oil company, says
that there was no secret about it and
produces letters to prove that after
the government began its attack upon
the Standard Oil he declined to accept
q retainer from them. He charged
that Mr.. Hearst had other letters In
addition to those which he gave out
and that these other letters, If made
public at the same time, would have
showed how harmless was his connec-
ticn with the Standard people.
