WEST EXPOSES
HASkELL'S ACT
ATTORNEY GENERAL OF okLAHo-
MA EXPOSES HASKELL.
FAVORED OIL COMPANY
Charles West, Says that He Was Told
in Insulting Language Not to Inter
fere with the Work Of the Prairie
Oil Company in Oklahoma.

GUTHRIE, Okla, Sept. 23.-""Presi-
dent R%oosevelt's statement concerning
Governor Haskell's alleged connection
with the Standard Oil company seems
to me 8 very mild rebuke," declared
Charles West, Democratic attorney
general Of Oklahoma, when shown the
presidents letter to William ]. Bryan
by an Associated Press representative
tonight. Mr.. Vests statement fol-
lows:
The presidents statement as to the
Prairie Oil and Gas company is less
than the whole matter In It's iniquity,
because on the 23rd Of April I had
informed the governor that the action
taken by the Prairie company was IL
legal and should be enjoined and that
i had brought an Injunction suit. At
that time the governor agreed with
me as to the illegality Of the action
and approved the. bringing Of the in
junction.
'sThe same day the governor left
the state to 60 to Denver. the Prairie
company started its trespassing. This
ii believe was previously arranged be-
tween the governor and Prairie com
pany, as the company rushed the lay
ing Of its pipe during the absence Of
the governor OF the state.
Il wired the governor on the first Of.
July asking whether he had given the
company permission to build their
line. His reply evaded my question
and instead Of answering 1t he said.
that he was satisfied that the Prairie
company would not violate the Law.
Between the 22nd Of April and the
22nd Of July Governor Haskell re
ceived advice from his legal advisers
as to the matter and II he had received
advice from his assistant attorney gen
eral he did not do me the honor Of
submitting the same to me.
: When we heard OF the bringing Of
kAC suit u0 u4ICCtOu tNO ANGAA& &OVVAA5
or to order me to dismiss the suit and
INDUCED In insolvent language to the
effect that he would not tolerate any
proceeding by me except, ct his d.
rection. The use Of this insulting Ian
guage regarding me, together with his
sudden change Of heart between April
and July evidences that some very
deep and controlling motive Of a per.
sonal nature was back Of his action.
THE only person that the propo-
sition could help was the Standard
Oil company and that he hazarded
as much as he did for them after his
sudden change Of heart, supplies the
necessary factor for any intelligent
man to reckon whether the governor
of Oklahoma has . leaning toward
the Standard Oil company and there
fore the presidents statement seem to
me = very mild rebuke. 4.
