Il will now read you the conclusion
,of letter written by Mr.. Sibley, who
was a representative of Pennsylvania,
from the lower house of congress-
Mind you, representative from Penn
sylvania-that is his title. But, in fact,
he is a representative, l believe, of
the Standard Oil company
The letter was written to Mr.. Arch
bold and relates how Mr.. Sibley told
Mr.. Roosevelt that he should be care
full how he offended the Standard Oil,
and that he could not afford to depend
merely upon the support of the people.
This is the conclusion of the letter:
For the first time in my life told
the president some unpalatable truths
as to the situation politically, and that
no man should win or deserve to win
who depended upon the rabble rather
than upon the conservative men of af-
fairs | don't know as he really liked
