AN ABSOLUTE LIE.
Col. Guffey Does Not Mince Words IN
Answering Gov. Haskell.

Pittsburg. Oct. EN- reply to Cover
ror Hasllelfs open letter to Pre- sident
Roosevelt, in which Col. 6. Nj. Quincy,
former Democratic national committee
man from Pennsylvania, and L. w.
Barnsdall, Pittsburg oil operators, are
charged with being agents OF the
Standard Oil Co. and in that capacity
having engaged in conferences with
President Roosevelt, the following
statement was given to The Associated
Press by Col. Guffey tonight:
'Haskells statement that l ever dis
cussed the Usage oil lease with the
President is an absolute falsehood. The
fact is, l never met or spoke to Pres
ident Roosevelt but once, and that was
al a reception and dinner given to nm
on July 4th, 1902, at the Schenec hotel
at Pittsburg. That ! am connected with
the Standard Oil Co. is lie more than
g. years old, revived every once IN a
while by some scoundrel endeavorlng
to shield his own iniquities."

ment:
1.-The President asked me to come

my own knowledge, l can say most
positively that the relations between
him and Mr.. Hitchcock are of the
closest and most friendly character,
that Mr.. Hitchl ock has his entire con-

entirely confident of the result" Mr..

GOVERNOR HUGHES
Feels As Though He Has Become
Thoroughly Westernized.

WATERFOWL, S. D.. oct. 6.-Swinging
across the Dakotas in his tour of the
states of the northwest, Governor
Charles F.. Hughes of New York, in a
speech here today declared that he had
become thoroughly Westernized.
In the course of his speech the gov
ernor said:
Twelve years ago we had little
controversy. The question was wheth-
err we should enact laws that would
dishonor us. Mr.. Bryan told us then
that he was essential to the safety of
the country We found out later that
the safety of the country demanded
his reputation When l think of it, l
am reminded of bishop who was
descending in a bucket down mine
with a workman. When they had
gone a long way down the workman
asked jokingly:
Bishop, how far is it to He'll?
Said the bishop:
IF that rope breaks you will De
there in less than a minute"
1T does not take much to destroy
confidence and close up factories. We
cannot afford to commit ourselves to
vagaries and visionary schemes. The
Democratic candidate seems to have
remedy for everything. If you don't
like the one he shows you, WELL he
has another which might appeal to
you But all of his remedies are I'M
tried

MONNETT is ANGRY.
Says ToIIe's Statements are "Pack of
Malicious Lies.

Kansas CITY, MO, Oct. 6.-Frank 5.
Monnett, formerly attorney genera, of
Ohio, was in Kansas City last night to
address Democratic political meeting.
The statement Of the Standard Oil Cos.
attorney at Cleveland was read to him.
After reading the statement, Mr. Mon
nett said:
What a pack of malicious lies"
He then dictated statement in
which he took up in detail and denied
:. II. Tolle's statements as to the su-
preme court proceedings. He concluded.
This same s. II. TOlle. who gives out
this interview, in company with Larry
Neal, both attorneys of record for the
standard Oil Co, We're the attorneys
l referred to in my interview as asking
the court to have me stop taking the
depoSitiOnS before +. b. Dillon of Co
iuinbus, Ohio.
NO one ever said that the Standard
Oil Co. called a meeting of the beard
of directors and passed resolutions or
dering S500600 or any other sum to be
invested IN the attorney general of
Ohio.
If all that c. b. Squires said was
true, l did not expect to establish by
officially acted and ordered anybody to
he bribed but l did intend to show
whether Squires had received q tce-
gram from Abner Mckinley or whether
Charles n. Haskell or Rockefeller had
been at any time at SquireS' house. or
whether Squires had been in town with
them or whether Haskell or Mckinley
had offices in New York at AZ Broad
street at that time. l did intend to find
out if possible how Squires knew Sena-
tor Foraker had had a conference with
me at Washington on the Standard Oil
case and how he knew settlement
was contemplated by the Standard Oil
CO. through Foraker. If he was dream
ins all of this it was a happy coilci-
Gence and one worthy of careful inves-
tigation from psychological staEd-
point.
Mr. TOlle forgets to quote all of
Squires' interview in the New York
World, where he says he knew all of
these parties for many years prior to
the statement when Squires corroborat-
ed my original charge that he was to
have immunity if he gave up the real
parties.
And he forgets that Squires claimed
he was being backed in his Manhattan
Fire Insurance Co case by the Stand
ard Oil people and forgets Squires re-
manned out of Ohio as far as l have
been able to ascertain and has remain
cd in New York ever since the attempt
at bribery"

Bryan, to put all trIst-nade articles on

said it would destroy absolutely the in
dependent competitors of the trusts and
the interests Of both the innocent and the
guilty. Of these remedies he declared
that it would include a lot of small cor
porations making srecial articles that
have no relation to trusts and are not
within the evil which the money the mo-
nopOles bring about, and he thought
much better remedy would be classlfi-
