THE MAN HE'S AFTER.

Denver. Sept. 30.-In a speech con-
Stunning less than thirty minutes. Will
liam r. Hearst, chairman of the In
dependence party national committee,
in Denver tonight renewed his charges
against Senator Foraker of Ohio and
Governor Charles n. Haskell of Okla
homa, and read additional letters and
affidavits bearing upon the charges.
Two letters addressed to Senator For
akqer and signed by John D. Archbold
of the Standard Oil company. IL which
were enclosed certificates of deposit for
$4,000 and $4,000, respectively, each
bearing date of 1900, We're read.
Has No Such Letters.
In this connection Mr.. Hearst re-
| ferred TO the claim of Senator Foraker
| that he (Hearst) had not made public
any of the letters which would prove
Forakers innocence. Il have no such
letters in my large collection" he said.
! In support of his claim that Governor
Haskell was a member of the Citizens
! Alliance of Muskogee, Okla, Mr..
Hearst read an affidavit dated Sept. q,
| 1908, and signed Morgan CarrOway OF
Muskogee, who declares that he was
secretary of the alliance and had re-
ceived money for dues from Mr.. Has
kelI, and had frequently talked of poll
cies to be pursued by the alliance with
reference to organized labor. a letter
from John Farrell of Muskogee was
also read. which says that the signer
was selected as sergeant-at-arms of the
alliance through the influence of Mr..
Haskell.
Mr.. Hearst paid his respects to Pres
ident Roosevelt and Mr.. Bryan, and
compared the action of the president IN
| repudiating Senator Foraker with that
of Mr.. Bryan, who. he said, was willing
to take the responsibility for Governor
HaskelTs connection with the Demo-
cratic national Well, let
him take the responsibility" he con-
Iinued.
Hates Roosevelt.
Resuining his comments on President
Roosevelt, Mr. Hearst said il was not
true that he and the president have
altered our opinions of each other and
are working now hand in hand" as the
Democrats charge. Il dislike Nj.
Roosevelt personally and have every
reason to dislike him. When l was
running for governor of New York Mr.
Roosevelt sent his personal mouth
piece, Tweed's ex-defender, into New
York to say what was false about me-
and what Mr.. Roosevelt knew to be
false If ever l have an opportunity
! to even things up with Mr.. Roosevelt.
! after he has ceased to be president, l
shall DO so with peculiar satisfaction
But while Mr.. Roosevelt is president of
the United States my attitude towards
him is that of any loyal citizen of the
| United States"
| Mr. Hearst denied that he was trying
to elect Mr.. Taft. a statement he cred
tied TO Mr.. Bryan.
One Final Fling.
| Mr.. Hearst said, in part:
| LAS the FOraker-Haskell controversy
is still raging in the press and in the
daily bulletins from the White House
and in extra editions of the CommOner,
I am going to take one final fling at
| the situation. After that | intend to
abandon these gentlemen to their con-
stituencies and to their consciences, for
it seems to me an unprofiita BILE per
Torrance after the funeral (figurative-
ly speaking) is all over to pour con-
| troversial broadsides into the corpse"
Mr.. Hearst said that it was a matter
of general knowledge that the inter
ests seeking special favors supported
the party which served their purposes
best. He continued:
THE Standard Oil was bound to take
revenge upOn TIE pItScHI dulliDlSlI d
ton for the prosecution instituted
against it and the fine imposed upon
it.
Wouldn't Go to Honest Tom"
"The question then merely was where
the Standard Oil, whipped out of the
Republican party. was going TO go. 1t
was not going to go in the IEdepend-
ence party with that implacable enemy
of the Standard OIL Honest Tom His
gen., as the candidate, and with a plat
form which neither the Haskell nor the
Foraker politicians had framed.
Everybody began to suspect that the
Standard Oil might possibly make i'm
proper overtures to the Democratic
party No sooner had the suspicion
been formed than along comes the
Democratic party I'D to the avenue
brazenly Haunting the $40. 000 senatorial
sealskin sack presented by Mr.. Ryan
and the 100000 diamond necklace pre-
scented by Mr.. Rockefeller.
Then suspicion became a certainty
Haskell was shown by court records
