Especial to The Sentinel }

Washington, ID. C., Sept. rs
Goaded by Mr. Bryan's answer to
certain charges he has made. and
taking issue with Mr.. Bryan's recent
speech in which he maintained that
the Democratic party and platform
were not getting square deal in the
campaign, President Roosevelt late
last night made another very lengthy
reply in shape of letter addressed
to Mr. Bryan He deals particularly
with Mr. Bryan's assertion that the
administra ton has been neither sim
cere nor effective in The prosecution
of trusts. The president sets forth
what has been done under his direc-
ton toward curbing the tendency of
capital to centrnliZe with view to
destroying competition.
The president makes bitter at
tack on Mr.. Bryan and the Demo
cratic party. he goes to great length
to defend his administration, to show
that his administration has attacked
the trusts railroads and corporations
abusing the laws and the rights of
the people. He deals with the cam
paign contributions and many other
points upon which Mr.. Bryan has had
much to say. He defends the Re
publican party throughout. In ans
wer TO Mr.. Bryan's request that he
name single official connected with
n law defyins corporation who has
declared or will declare for Bryan.
he names Judge II. S. Priest. attor-
ney for the Waters-Pierce Oil COM
pany, who the president states is
supporting Bryan. The president
closes his letter with over 1000
words devoted to denunciation of
and an attack on Governor Haskell
to whom he applies many belitting
names.
