PRESIDENT plsAvows MAKING
ANY DIRECT CHARGE IN OHIO
BRIBERY CASE.
SCORES HASKELL'S CONDUCT
Condemns Oklahoma Executives Ae.
tlon In Various Matters AZ
Being Dlssaeeful and
seandaious.

Washington Roosevelt
tate Wednesday night. following upon
. prolonged conference with mem.
bers OF the cabinet at the White
House, prepared and gave out his
reply to William ]. Bryan, the Demo
cratic candidate, relative to w. H..
Hearsts charges that Governor Has
kell, treasurer Of the Democratic cam.
paign committee. had represented
standard OIL interests both In Ohio
and Oklahoma.
Mr.. Bryan had demanded proof OF
the charges promising that In the
event OF their standardization Governor
Haskell would be eliminated from the
campaign.
Diminishing the Ohio case which in.
Volved an allegation OF attempted
bribery with the explanation that he
had made no direct charge against
Governor Haskell as regards that par.
ucular instance, President Roosevelt
takes up the matter OF the Prairie OIL
and Gas Co., and argues that Governor
Haskell's action in stopping legal pro-
ceedings begun by the attorney gen.
eral Of Oklahoma, demonstrates con-
clusively that he was controlled by
the great corporation to which the
Oklahoma company was subsidiary.
After contrasting Mr.. Bryan's de.
tense Of Governor Haskell as against
Judge Taft's reputation OF Senator
Foraker in connection with the Hearst
charges against the Ohio Senator, the
President proceeds to declare that
Governor Haskell's utter unfitness
Tor association with any man about
TO appeal TO the American people on
q moral issue had been abundantly
shown by other acts OF his as COVER.
nor Of Oklahoma"
The President condemns Governor
Haskell's conduct in connection with
various matters as disgraceful and
scandalous. and calls special attention
to what he describes as "prostituting
TO base purposes the state university"
This fresh charge against the gov
srnor rests on an article In a maya.
zine from which the president quotes
and which, he says, forms the conclu-
sion that Governor Haskell is un-
worthy Of any position In public
life.
