that the salmon is the best prepared

HON. WILLIAM J. BRYAN'S
OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT

Haskell Has Had Unlawful Connections with
The Standard Oil Company.

Detroit, Sept. 22.-The remarkable
spectacle Of a presidential candidate
rebuking the chief executive of the

or influence Attorney General Monet
of Ohio to dismiss suits pending
against the Standard Oil Company. In
endorsing this charge you attack the
democratic party and its candidate,
saying that Gov. Haskell stands high
in the councils of Mr.. Bryan. and is
the treasurer Of his national campaign
committee and you add that the pub

merely justifies in striking fashion the
action of the administration, but also
casts a curious sidelight on the at
tacks made upon the administration,
both in the Denver convention, which
