HASKELL SAYS He WILL SUE
PROPOSES TO CHARGE HEARST
WITH LIBEL.
Proceedings to Be Brought as Sequel
to Accusation Regarding Alleged
Standard Oil Bride.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. October 13.-Gov.
G. N. Haskell of Oklahoma arrived here
this morning from Guthrie to consult his
attorneys with reference to a suit that
he says he intends to bring against VIII
liam r. Hearst, oh arging the New York
editor with libel. The governor stated.
soon after he had registered at a hotel.
that he had already placed the matter in
the hands of his attorneys. and that the
petition would be filed by them whenever
they saw fit The suit. he said. probably
would be Brought in the circuit court, but
just when he was unable to say The
case grows out of the publication of the
Standard Oil story, which was followed
by Gov. Haskelrs resignation as treas
urer of the democratic national commit
tee.
The story in question alleged that a
two others, had made overtures to Frank
S. Monnett. then attorney general Of Ohio
to stop a suit pending agains a Standard
Oil subsidiary company. the trio agreeing
it was alleged to furnish S5O0,0OO in case
proceedings were dropped. Mr.. Hearst
asserted that this Haskell was Gov.
Charles n. Haskell, but the Governor OF
Oklahoma declared that he had no con-
nection with the matter and said some
other Haskell must have been meant
Gov. Haskell declined today to make
public the names of his attorneys who are
to bring the suit against Mr.. Hearst or
the intended suit. He might. he said. be
able late in the day to announce det-
itely just what the next step in the mat
ter would be.

BRYAN APPEALS TO THE FARM

Begins Speaking Tour of the State
That viii Close Tomorrow
Night.

TEKAMAH Neb.. October BIN Sc
ries of speeches made on the first day of
his campaign in Nebraska. which will end
tomorrow night. W. J. Bryan appealed
directly for the farming and laboring
vote on the ground that he is the logical
candidate of the producer and wage earn
er. He opened this line with his first
speech at Blair and has continued it
throughout the day. The Candidate also
appealed for votes for the state ticket.
In his remarks at Blair Mr.. Bryan said
in the west by Mr.. Taft and republican
speakers to the farmers. They tell the
farmers he said. that because they
have had good crops and good prices they
ought TO vote the republican ticket. If
you will remember, back eight years ago.
they were talking to the laboring man
you went you saw pictures of the full
dinner pail. and they told the laboring
man that Just as long as they had
enough to eat they ought not to think
He declared the argument was not being
used now because the bottom had
dropped out of the pail and. it was empty.
He told his hearers that the democratic
party this year was being supported by
larger number of laboring men than
for forty years and he said their disap-
pointment has been embittered by the
fact that they were deceived eight years
ago.
But now it is the full farm baskets"
he said. and they are presuming on your
ignorance as they did on the laboring
that because the basket is full he ought
not to think"
