CHAMBERLAIN
TO TAKE STUMP
BIG TAFT VICTORY IN OREGOU
WOULD PREJUDICE HIS SENA.
TORIAL RACE BEFORE STATE
LEGISLATURE.

Portland, Sept. 24.--Before the
end of the campaign Gov George n.
Chamberlain will take the stump fos
Bryan and will probably devote AL
his attention to Oregon, instead Of
going elsewhere. says the Telegram.
The Democratic national committee
has wanted Chamberlain to partici-
pate for some time past, and the
county committee has also been urg.
ing him. Some members of the state
committee, however, did not favor
the plan warmly, believing that ac-
tive participation for Bryan would
injure Chamberlain's chances for be-
Ing elected to the senate by the legis-
lature next Winter.
1t has come to the ears OF tho
Democratic managers that II Taft
carries Oregon 1t will be hard sled
ding for Chamberlain for senator.
whereas II Oregon goes Democratic
the opposition to Chamberlain will
have to lie down. This statement
has also been made by Republican
members of the legislature who are
ready to fight the governor. This
may or may not have been instru-
mental in bringing Chamberlain to
the front. but at all events the an
nouncement is now made that the
governor will take the stump for
Bryan during the latter part Of Octo-
her.

HASKELL May

so MIXED UP WITH TRUST PRO.
MOTIONS THAT HIS RECORD
UNITS HIM TO HOLD CAM.
PAIGN POSITION.

known at Democratic headquarters
last night that several committee
men are preparing to use every ef-
fort to bring about the removal of

flee of treasurer Of the national COM
mittee.

tion Of charges that Mr.. Haskell as
governor Of Oklahoma declined to
persecute he Prairie Oil and Gas
company. a subsidiary company Of
the Standard Oil company.
Charges that Gov. Haskell had
been identified with several railroad
promotions in this city which are
said to have been in the matter Of
consummation. are said to have also
tended to influence the feelings of
these national committeeman that
the time has come for Gov Haskell
to resign from the committee or be
removed.
Pending consideration Of the reply
OF President Roosevelt to w. ]. Bry-
ans letter asking that the president
show proof of the charges made, Ma
tional Chairman Mack is taking nc
action in the matter, nor would he
state last night what the outcome
might be with reference to the Has
kell matter, although his attitude is
known to be such as to oppose the
continuance on the committee Of any
one whose Affiliations are proved to
be with corporations which are op-
posed by Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Mack
said last night that he had had no
communication with Mr.. Bryan or
Gov. Haskell on the matter and that
he would take no action unless Pres
ident Roosevelt should bring abso-
lutte proof of the charges.
1t was made plain by national
committeeman that when Gov. Has
kell was selected as treasurer Of the
committee there was not the slight
est knowledge that any charge or
suggestion could be made against
him with regard to his attitude or
re ported connection with railroad
promotions, and that Mr.. Bryan him
self had no knowledge of the matter
Chairman Mack declared that il
the charges against Gov. Haskell
were proved he would expect him to
