BRAYAN DEFENDS HASKELL
Praises Governor Haskell and Asks
Some Pertinent Questions

SOINlG "
MILWAUKEE,, WIS, Sept. 26.-De.
Tending his knowledge of Governor
Haskell against the charges which
have been brought against him until
the charges can be examined in some
court where partisanship does not
bias William Jennings Bryan, demo
cratic candidate for president, on bis
way from Madison 10 this city, gave
out for publication his reply to Presi-
dent Roosevelt's recent letter, in re-
spouse to his telegram IN the subject.
Mr.. Bryan speaks of the election OF
Mr.. Haskell as governor Of Oklahoma,
and says hat the constitution was
adopted and that Governor Haskell
was elected in spite of the efforts OF
your administration and in spite OF
the speech made in Oklahoma by
Mr.. Taft"
Mr.. Bryan charges, among other
things, that the steel trust with your
express consent" purchased n OF its
largest rivals and thus obtained cor
troll OF more than fifty per cent OF
the total output. He asks the presE
dert II he will insist that in per-
hitting this you showed less favor
TO the monopolistic corporations than
] do ia opposing &C."
Mr.. Bryan abruptly charges that
Governor Hughes, quoted by Pres!-
dent Roosevelt as having "riddled the
democratic trust remedy" was him.
self the beneficiary Of the trusts ana
cites the campaign contributions 10
the Hughes election fund two years
ago.. Among these are ]. p. Morgan.
John d. Rockefeller, Andrew Car
negie and William Nelson Cromwell.
Mr.. Bryan says that as the presi-
dent quotes Governor Hughes he
takes It for granted that Judge Taft
has not expressed himself satisfac-
torily on the trust question.
In relation to the suit referred 10
in President Roosevelt's recent letter
whereby the case against The Prairie
Oil and Gas company was dismissed,
at the instigation OF Governor Haskell,
Mr.. Bryan says;
Il could have no knowledge OF the
suit to which you refer when he was
appointed chairman OF the resolutions
committee Of the democratic national
convention, because the suit was be-
gun while he was in Denver, and as a
matter Of fact, ! did not know any
thing Of the nature OF the suit until
after he was made treasurer OF the
national committee and no fair mind
ed person can decide upon the merits
of your charge without an ,xamina-
ton OF the provisions OF t~e enab-
ling act passed by a republican con-
gress, and the provisions of the IL
cense of franchise issued to the oil
company by your administration

JUDGE PRIEST
EXPLAINS ALL
In Answer to the President He
Makes Everything Clear

st. Louis, Sept. 30-Judge
Henry S. Priest has given out a
statement in reply to that portion
of President Roosevelt's reply to
William j. Bryan, in which ref
srence is made to the st. Louis
man as a trust attorney ,who is
supporting Bryan for President.
Judge Priest begins by deny
ing that he is an official OF the
Waters. Pierce Oil company, a
Standard Oil adjunct. He says
that his firm was retained by
Henry Clay Pierce in 1904 to
represent q minority interest II
the defense of the company in a
suit instituted against it by At
torney General Hadley OF Mis-
souri and that another attorney
for the company was Mr.. Nagel,
the present Republican commit
teeman from Missouri.
Judge Priest continues:
"But it is added that | said
bribery is a conventional Of
fense.' These words are taken
from the middle of a sentence in
an extemporaneous address to a
jury in which they were used
solely for the purpose of making
a comparison between the de-
PENDANT and the chief witness
against him. The defendant was
accused Of bribery. The chief
witness against him was a con
fessed periurer, and made the
statement quoted in comparing
the two men for purpose of put
ting their moral characters before
Jury to be weighed by! tin reach
ing a conclusion. A conventional
oeense is one defined by a iegis.
lstive convention and is denomi
mated 'malum prohibitun' to die.
tinguish it in character from an
offense which is 'malum in se.' |
then condemned unqualiiedly
snd unquivocally both bribery
and lying.
"But as il to add still further
to the criticism OF me, it is said
that r. M. Snyder, in whose be-
half l am speaking, was a mil
houaire. 1t seems that / am
thrown in very excellent com.
pany on both sides of the politi'
cal line in my legal engagements.
MIR. Snyder's regular attorney,
Hon. Gardner Lathrop, is a very
distinguished Republican, and is
at present an enthusiastic sup
porter of Judge Taft. Mr.,
" arnes. the Republican sena'
tor iron this state. was as
ISOLATED with me in that case. 1t
is the height of absurdity to at
tempt to influence public opinion
for or against either of the can
didates by showing that this,
that, or the other attorney who
represents Il personal or corpor-
ate clientage is for or against
him."
In his statement Judge Priest
says that he intends to vote for
Bryan as he has in the past.

THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS.

That interest in the coming national irrigation congress to be held in Al buquerque this fall is not confined to the states in which irrigation is a feature of agriculture is proven by the extended and continuous mention ac- corded it in the metropolitan press of the east. The following from the Wash ington Herald is sample of the nice things being printed daily:
 Peculiar interest attaches to the six teenth national irrigation congress which will meet at Albuquerque N. M., from September 20 to October 3. Addi tional impetus has been given to the work of this body by the recent confer enee of governors at the White House, which stimulated the various executives to renewed endeavOrs in the work of saving the forests, storing the floods, retaining the deserts, and bringing the land to its fullest use.
 East state and territory is to have fifteen delegates at the coming congress, these appointed by the governors. Each city of 25,000 will have ten delegates. appointed by the mayor, and each city of less than 25,OOO population is en- titled to five delegates. Then there will be delegates appointed by county com missioners, delegates appointed by na- tional and interstate associations in terested in the work, delegates from agricultural colleges and societies of en- gineers-in short, the representation will include practically everybody who is interested in the objects seOught by the national irrigation congress.
 The work already done by the gov ernment has at last awakened thought ful people to the vital importance of conserving and making the best use of our natural resources, and the present congress will find some of the most able men in the country devoting their energies to the conservation of the for ests and streams, the reclamation and irrigation of the arid and semi-arid lands of the west, and discussion of all points that bear on the subject of home-making.
 It is difficult to imagine work that promises more benefit to the country at large than the work that will grow out of this irrigation congress. The con gress itself may have no power to do anything but "resolve," but the edu- cational effects of such meeting, the discussion of various interests, and the realization of how much conservatism is needed, are certain to bear fruit in the legislatures of the various states from which, and not from the federal authority, the needed relief must come.
