Haskell Agent Of Standard Oil.
Mr. Hearst said in part:
Il have shown that when Mr..
Roos welt prosecuted the greatest OF
all trusts, the Standard Oil Company.
he drove it out of the Republican
party into the Democratic party.
II have shown how the Democratic
party amended its platform to suit
the Standard Oil, and made Mr. Has,
keli, who was an agent of the Stand
ard Oil, the chairman OF their com
mittea ON platform.
Il have read signed letters from the
Standard Oil headquarters showing
that Mr.. Foraker, while United States
senator, was in the pay OF the Stand
ard Oil Company.
Mr.. Haskell asserts that Attorney
General Monnett's disclosures must
ref to some other Haskell with diff,
ferent initials.
Here are other court records OF
another case in which this same c.
N. Haskell, as governor OF Oklahoma,
has been more successfully OF ser

"A subsidiary company OF the
Standard Oil Company known as the
Prairie Oil & Gas Company was rid
ing rough shod over the laws OF Ok
lahoma and over the rights Of tbc
citizens.
The attorney general Of the state
Of Oklahoma. secured an injunction
to prevent this branch OF the Stand,
ard Oil Company from teaTirG up the
public highways without right Of emf
nent domain.
Governor c. n. Haskell. who was
out Of the state, telegraphed the at.
torney general not to proceed against
the oil company. When Governor
Haskell came back 10 the state. he
secured private attorneys, and VEN
into a higher court and asked TO have
the Injunction dissolved. on the
ground that the attorney general. be,
ing an officer Of the administration.

wishes Of the governor.
Governor Haskell! won on that
