BLOW At HASKELL
Publishes Letter Against
Governor, Sent Him by
Lawyer.

President Roosevelt today indirectly
took another rap at Governor Haskell
OF Oklahoma, when a letter from w L.
Sturdevant, OF the law firm of Sturde-
want & StUrdevant. Of 81. Louis. taking
the governor 10 task for his alleged
connection with certain transactions by
which the Creek Indians are said TO
have been defrauded out Of their lands,
was made public at the White House.
Attorney Sturdevants letter is self
explanatory, and was issued without
comment II is as follows:

Yes. / believe / am defendant as TO
certain Government tOwn-Site lots in
one Of nearly 1000 suits that you have
| had brought against as many different

paign year, and you will not undertake
/ To deny that petty politics for the pur-
[ pose Of RepubilcaniZlng about 10000 In

attorneys are purely technical. and
