HOke and Dick For Disfyanchisement.

should have promptly expressed his regrets
He has never done SO.
But more memorable feature of the Den
yer Convention was the manner in which
Standard Oil man it for Bryan, at Bryan's
instance. 1t was Haskell of Oklahoma who
bossed the job of making the platform.
1t was Haskell who managed the matter Of
the throwing out of Guffey OF PENNSYLVANIA
and a most high-handed and illegal business it
was.
Throughout the Convention it was Haskell,
with his self-assertive air. his overbearing
swagger, his boisterous and dominant voice,
that carried to the Bryanites the influence of
Bryan. To every one who opposed him he
applied the one effective taunt, "That's Stand
ard Oil! Back to your Oil tanks
With this ever ready and terrible lash, the
noisy, clustering Haskell whipped opposition
into silence. What magnificent bluff it was!
HASKELL WAS A STANDARD OIL MAN
HIMSELF. AND BRYAN HAD KNOWN
1T EVER SINCE FALL.
And when Hearst and Roosevelt held this
scoundrel and hypocrite I'D to the public gaze
in his true co1ors, how boldly BRYAN and Has
kell denied, demanded proofs, and browbeat
the prosecution!
Not until Haskell had been securely trap
ped did Bryan Gown up" and put the knave
off the committee
But Bryan knew Just what Haskell was
That's why Haskell was selected.
Bryan wanted the aid Of all those corpora
tons which were offended with Roosevelt for
not letting them alone He wanted to use. as
a political asset, the wrath of the criminals
whom the President had prosecuted
Therefore, Haske11s record and character fit

the matter Of his bank account, but they have
not increased his capacity for holding bear
by the tail. He has taken on a paunch, and
by the same token released a shining and an
oily dome where once the ovelocks sprouted
freely. He is no longer fitted for violent ath-
1etics. Tried by that standard, he is given to
redness behind the ears and jerky diaphragm
wthal. And even if the ado1escent ardors Of
1896 were with him still and he believed in
himself with real enthusiasm, Haskell would
nevertheless have been a weary and distressing

Wien Was Senator Jones Embl0ved2

When Was Senator Jones Employed?
In one of Archbods letters to Foraker, the
Standard Oil magnate enclosed copy of
bill which Senator James K. Jones' Of Arkan-
sas, had introduced and which Archbold
wanted killed
The bill never became a law. 1t was put to
sleep SO deity that nobody took notice Of the
hour when it RETIRED"
Later, it was publicly announced that Sena-
tor Jones had been employed by the Standard
Oil Company.
He was in its service the remainder of his
life.
He was one of those who buncoed Roose-
welt in the matter of the Prairie Oil & Gas
Company He and Depew assured the Pres-
dent that the Prairie Oil was a rival of the
Standard Oi1-an independent concern, which
ought to be encouraged
The Standard Oil Company paid Jones, the
Democrat, and Depew, the Republican, to de-
ceive the President, and they did SO.
Now, the interesting question is, WHEN
DID JONES SELL OUT TO THE STAND
ARD?
Was it during his term as Senator from Ar
kansas?
And was that the secret reason why his bill,
which antagonized the Standard, went to
sleep?
Did this postmaster in political llnavery in
troduce the bill for the very purpose of COM
polling the Standard to buy him off?
It looks that way. Incidentally, this Senator
Jones was the Bryan manager of 1896 who
contemptuous1y insulted the Southern Popu-
lists and said that they could Ego to the Mig
gers, where they belonged"
At that identical moment Tones was no
doubt the hireling Of Standard Oil.
