NEW YORK EDITOR REVIEWS
ATTACKS ON MEMBERS OF
BOTH PARTIES.
Ne READS MORE LETTERS
Again After Governor Haskell De-
claring Him to be q Tool Of the
Standard Oil and Promoter Of
Crooked Railways.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-W. R.
Hearst addressing the state conven-
ton Of the independence party, re-
newed his attack on the members OF
both of the great parties and produc-
ed another batch of letters which he
said were written by or to John D.
Archbold. One of the letters was
addressed to former Senator McLau-
rim of North Carolina and there were
also letters from McLaurin to Arch
bold in which the writer declared he
would beat Tillman if properly and
generously supported
He also read letter from Repre-
sentative Sibley to Archbold and a
letter from Archbold TO Representa-
tive Senator whose name did not
appear. Renewing his attack on
Governor Haskell, Hearst declared
he is not only a Standard Oil tool
and promoter Of crooked railways,
but was one of the organizers Of the
steel trust"
He quoted from court record Of
the suit brought BY HaskelPs law
partner in Ohio against the Illinois
Steel Company and the Federal
Steel Company, for services rendered
by Haskell as attorney and "Organiz-
err" Hearst also quoted from what
he declared was a recent speech o.
Haskell defending the Standard Oil
Company as Having done wonder:
for this country"

ONLY h5RD OF PRAISE.
FOR TAFT
Bryan Expresses His High Opin-
ion for His Opponent

CINCINNATI, Sept. A.-Aftcr q
memorable day in the history Of cam
paigning Of this state Colonel Bryan
arrived here tonight from Dayton.
The train was welcomed here with
red fire and cheers from thousands Of
throats. All the way from Columbus
here the nominee was well accorded
enthusiastic receptions. In the course
Of his speech tonight Bryan said:
"As this is the home Of my oppon-
ent, desire TO take occasion TO cx-
press my high opinion Of his char
acter and accomplishments. ! think
! pay a higher compliment in assum-
ing he is able to conduct his own
campaign, than does the president
who Is contcsting with him the lead
ership Of the party in this campaign
Bryan referred to Taft's record to the
Offices he has held, but Bryan declar-
ed that he could not have secured the
republican nomination on this rec
ord alone. II was, said Bryan, the
powerful support Of the president
that made Taft the nominee Of his
party. Bryan contrasted this with
his own record. Only four years has
he held Office, he said, Bryan related
his earlier history as a young lawyer
with no rich or influential friends.
Bryan said he has advocated tariff re-
form for quarter Of century and
has lived long enough to now see the
republican party frightened into
promising its needed revision. He
has advocated the income tax and
has lived to see Taft advocate 1t. He
favored free coinage OF silver, so did
Major Mckinley. Taft accuses him
of favoring government ownership,
forgetting that Roosevelt and he him
self have threatened railroads with it
il they did not consent to effective
regulation, which is substantially the
same position as Bryan has taken.
Bryan says he opposed the trusts
ever since he went into public life
and he is sorry while Taft has ac-
cepted the democratic platform on
several questions he refuses to accept
the democratic plank of this one. He
declared Taft does not stand for a
single reform that has not been advo-
Gated by the democrats before he
took up the work.

same time the Ocgon officials will
stipulate and agree to allow the law
TO remain imperative until the
United States Supreme Court shall
pass upon the case Of Chris Nelson
on appeal.
Nelson, resident OF the state OF
Washington, was arrested and
brought to this state for trial He
was convicted in a lower court and
at d later date the decision was affirm
ed by the Supreme Court for Oregon.
Washington has appealed the case to
the highest tribunal OF the country
upon the ground that the defendant
was a resident Of that state; that he
followed legal occupation Oh the
north side OF the river and that the
Oregon officials can have no jurisdic-
ton north OF the main channel except
over such matters as both states may
agree shall be considered crimes.
Attorney.General Crawford for
warded a letter last night incorporat-
ing the suggestions, and believes that
the Washington officials will join in
this plan Of reaching solution of
the trouble with as little loss to resi-
dents Of both states as possible,

MILWAUKEE, Sept 24-Wiseon-
sin had political climax today in a
complete and emphatic manner in
which Senator La Toilette first de-
clared Judge Taft to be redical in
his political ideas and then gave him
his own unqualified endorsement.
This Is said in La Toilette indorse-
ment quoted from the Bible; Thou
shalt provide out OF all the people
able men, such as fear God; men Of
truth, hating eoyetousness,' he then
added, Such is the great leader that
We have with us today, Nature gave
him poise, judicial temperament,
great force Of character, tenaeity OF
purpose His long life in public
service is distinguished for his mark
ed ability, its wisdom, its integrity.
its patriotism, He has taken advanc-
cd ground upon the great issues OF
this great country. He il progressive
in principle He is equipped Won
drously by experience. Two presi-
dents in succession summoned to
their aid, man who is our honored
guest today
The endorsement was delivered at
Mason's, before an audience compos-
ed OF farmers from all portions OF
the state attending national farmers
convention, who cheered every mem
ton and all he said about Taft as
they did the candidate himself, who
in turn before delivering his speech
paid his compliments TO the senator.
In his tariff speech here tonight TAFT
reviewed the promise Of his party for
revision OF the tariff and promised
that party would adhere to its prom
Use. He said where tariffs were too
high they would be reduced and
where they are too low they will be
raised. II would be a revision, nc
said, contrary to the democratic doc
trine OF tariff for revenue only and
would be along the line OF protection

Which the Latter Started Between
President and Bryan.

NEW YORK, Sept 24-It is
definitely known that several demo
cratic national committeeman are
urging that Governor Haskell resign
or be removed from position as
treasurer of the national committee.
Chairman Mack said today he had
nothing to say about the matter and
that he had no communication with
Bryan Or Haskell regarding il. He
added that he does not know what is
going to be done and could not say
whether Haskell will resign or not
The national committeeman express
ed the belief today that no action
will be taken by the national COM
mittee, but that the whole matter
will be settled by Bryan and Mack
after Bryan has made thorough in
vestigation Of the case. Mack said he
knew nothing Of the report from
Washington today that Haskell had
rendered his resignation and said fur
ther he had issued no order calling
meeting of the national and executive
committees.

usefulness of the old parties is over
Haskell nowhere alludes to the con
troyersy which Hearst started be-
tween President Roosevelt and Col.
Bryan over Haskelrs alleged connec-
ton with the Standard Oil interests.
In brief, Haskell declares, that the
Democratic party Of Oklahoma has
covered everything with one excep-
ton, in framing the constitution Of
that state, which is advocated by
Hearst. and asserts that the Denver
platform contains the same principles
with two exceptions. Haskell also
