liam Randolph Hearst of New York and
Thomas l.. Hisgen, the presidential cam
didate of the independence party, ad-
dressed we'll filled house at local
theater tonight. Mr.. Hearst was the
first speaker. He plunged right into his
charges against Gov. G. y. Haskell of
Oklahoma, saying that gentleman would
not allow the attorney general of Okla
homa to secure an injunction against
subsidiary corporation of the Standard
Oil Company Mr.. Hearst also read
letter alleged to have been written by
Representative Joseph c. Sibley Of Penn
syIvania and addressed My Dear Mr.
A." in which the writer stated that the
corporations had strong friend in Sen
ator B." Mr.. Hearst read another let
ter purportng to have been written by
John D. Archbold of the Standard Oil
Company TO Nj. Sibley, saying:
I'VE are anxious to have a talk with
Senator Bailey.
Mr. Hearst spoke of the letters received
by Senator Foraker from John d. Arch
bold and said Mr.. Archbold became angry
when he heard of their publicity. He de-
clared that the memory of Representative
Sibey of Pennsylvania was very poor
when he denied writing letter quoted by
the speaker at Columbus, Ohio. He con-
tinued.

Mr. SibIcy wrote the letter which l
quoted, and he wrote others. and here is
one OF the others:
February &c. 1905.
My Dear Mr. A.: Yesterday l had
long talk with a friend in the Senate
whom you know l have Always regarded
as one OF the strongest men in that body
tNr. B., Il democraD. He is wholly and
unalterably opposed to the President and
GdTfield'S policy versus corporations.
think he is prepared to make a great
fight against the vicious principle that
tho government can open any books or
reveal any trade secrets because some
one thinks I am engaged in making too
much money.
He has the courage and ability to
make a legal argument on the floor of
the Senate second to no man of that
body.
Had you ought to give consultation
with him some day."
'One great man at the proper time
would be a tower of strength and safety.
He comes nearer today to being the
leader of his party than any one man in
IT.
Might Arrange Interview.
IF you want to see him I think can
arrange for him to call when in New
York. I put in all day yesterday in the
democratic cloak room of the Senate and
i guess answered about twenty-five diff
ferent senator's:
What is the trouble in Kansas
II told them that this was an attempt to
nulify the law of supply and demand
THE cotton growers could as we'll with
their surplus crop this year demand some
spinners to pay last years prices. This
increase in production from 600 bales to
1000 day meant surplus. and In oil.
as in cotton, the surplus fixes the price
OF the whole crop.
If you think of anything for me to do,
let me know. but I guess the members of {
the House of Representatives, including |
the Speaker, pretty well understand the |
situation.

two more of the little books. l have |

After reading this letter. Mr.. Hearst
said
Mr.. sibley does not say who Senator
p. Is, and We will have to guess. 1t can
not he Senator Bully, as there is no SEN
ator Bully.
There is Senator Bailey. and we have
heard hfs name mentioned before in con-
nection with Standard Oil.
Archbold Wants to See Bailey.
Another thing that makes me sus-
picious is the letter from Mr.. Archbold
asking Senator Bailey to come down to
New York and step up to the captains
offices quick:
26 BROADWAY. NEW YORK

have talk at early day as possible
with Senator Bailey of Texas. and write
