fore He Was Nominated.

fore he was nominated.
Oyster Bay, n. Y. Sept 22.-Secre.
tary Loeb gave TO representatives OF
the press a formal statement by the
President. which was called forth by
the recent exchanges between vii
liam r. Hearst and Senator Foraker
Of Ohio. Mr.. Hearst, In public utter
ances. had accused the senator OF re.
lations with the Standard Oil com
pany inconslstant with his duties as
senator and his attitude as a repre-
sentative Of Republican policies and
professions. In the statement Presi
dent Roosevelt makes another appeal
for the support Of Mr. Taft and de
clares that his defeat would bring
LASTING satisfaction 20 but one set OF
men who. as shown In the correspond
ence published by Mr.. Hearst were be
hind Mr.. Foraker, the opponent Of Mr
Taft. within his own party, and who
now are behind Governor Haskell and
his associates. the opponents Of Mr.
Taft In the opposite party"
The statement embodies a letter
written by Mr Taft to a friend IN
Ohio. on July 20. 1907, In which the
present Republican candidate for the
presidency refused TO acquiesce In the
plan OF the Ohio State Central com
mittee to endorse Mr.. Taft for the
presidency and Mr.. Foraker for re-
election to the senate IN a single reso
luton. The president points out that
Mr. Taft's attitude has always beer
directly opposed to that charged
against Senator Foraker by Mr.
Hearst regarding the moneyed inter
ests. The president cites the Brown
VILE affair as a case where the agita
ton was a phase Of the effort by The
representatives OF certain law-defyinl
corporations 10 bring discredit upor

in large part. mot a genuine agitation
on behalf Of colored men at all.
