Standard Oil and other trusts. Among
the shippers that have been convicted
are the American Sugar Company.
Swift & Co, Armour Packing Com
pany, Cudahy Packing Company and

Explains Steel Trust Deal.
Relative 10 the steel trust consoli.
dation mentioned by Mr.. Bryan, the
president says the deal was made with
his knowledge at the instance of the
lesser concern, and thet If such action
had not been taken the country would
have seen a greater panic than il did,
1t was to hold the approaching depres.
sion down to the o possible
field hat IL was done. but il is clearly
shown the steel corporation acted
within and under the law in every re-
spect.
The president makes 1t plain that
Mr.. Taft is not running for the pres
idency on promises, but On the record
of the Republican administration OF
the past in that he is pledged in the
platform to carry out the policies of
the party inaugurated during the in
cumbency of Mr.. Roosevelt. The
platform is plain on this point and
there is no going behind, it Mr.. Roose-
welt declares.
Relative to campaign contributions
the presidene asserts he is willing and
anxious for publication and strongly
denies that any contribution has in
the past or will in the future influence
the Republican administration. In
this connection he cites the Hartman
contribution and points out that he
has prosecuted Mr.. Hartman for what
he believed to be a violation OF the
law. At the same time he shows MT.
Hartman has had a square deal from
the administration, recalling his
action in the Salton Sea matter. At
this juncture Mr.. Roosevelt points out
the heavy contributions to the Bryan
campaign of 1896, showing the owners
Of the great silver mines did all in
their power to force a 50-cent dollar
on the American public.
Gov. Haskell comes in for a share
in the reply to Bryan, and Mr.. Roose.
welt insists that IL the Democratic
nominee did not know Of the charges
against Haskell it was because he re-
fused to read them when presented to
him by Editor Russell or Andarko,
Oklahoma.
The president declares that the In
terror Department will endeavor to sse
that the courts do Justice" to Mr..
Haskell in connection with certain
transactions in Creek township lots
which he reviews.
