URGE HIS RESIGNATION
NATIONAL Committeeman USE
INFLUENCE TO REMOVE HAS.
kELL AE TREASRER.

New York, Sept. 23.-lt became
known AT democratic headquarters
tonight that several committeeman
are preparing TO use every influence
10 bring about the removal of Cover
nor Charles \, Haskell from the
office of treasurer of the national
committee. This is a result of the
publication charges that Mr. Haskell
as governor OF Oklahoma declined {.
permit Nv state 10 prosecute the
Prairie oil and Gas Company, n sub
sidiary company of the Standard Or
company.
Charges against Governor Haskell
had been identified with several rail
road promotions In this city, which
are said TO have been unfortunate in
the matter OF consummation, as said
tonight have also tended to influence
the feelings Of these national com
mitteemen that the time has about
come for Governor Haskell to resign
from the committee or be removed.
Pending consideration of the reply
OF President Roosevelt to w. ]. Bry.
ans letter, asking that the president
show proof of the charges made
National Chairman Mack is taking no
action in the matter nor would h,
state tonight what the outcome might
be with reference To the Haskell mat
ter, though his attitude is known to
be such as TO oppose the continuance
on the committee of anyone of whosy
affiliations are proved to be with cor
porations which are opposed by Mr.
Bryan. Mr. Mack said tonight that he
had no communication with Mr.. Bry-
an or Governor Haskell on the mat
ter, and that he would take no action
unless President Roosevelt brought
absolute proof Of the charges.
1t was made plain by national com
mitteemen tonight that when Cover
nor Haskell was selected as treas
urer of the committee. there was not
the slightest knowledge that any
charge or suggestion could be made
against him with regard to his atti
tude or reported connection with rail.
road promotions, and that Mr.. Bryan
himself had no knowledge of the mat.
ter Chairman Mack declared today
that If the charges against Haskell
Were proven he would expect him TO
resign.

been suggested on his behalf that.
after all he did not favor the Stand.
ard oil and Gas Company but merely
the Prairie Oil and Gas Company.
This claim is disposed of by the tes-
timony of the Standard OIL Company
itself, taken in the hitter part of 1907
in the suit now pending before the
United States court at st. Louis
against the Standard oil company. In
this testimony, the standard OIL com.
pany upon being quired by the
government to put in list OF all
companies Ia which H. held stock or
in which its subsidiary companies
held stock, reported among the 9th.
ers the Prairie OIL a Gas campany,

National Transit company's proper

IT appears that the National Transit
company had "a capital stock of S25,-

company owned $25ijl $50. In 9th.

pears that the attorney general Of
the state, selcctcd by the people.
obtained an injunction 10 prevent
the Prairie oil & Gas company
from building a pipe line; and that
Gov Haskell found this out while he
was AT Denver. as appears by the
representations for the dissolution
of the injunction made in his name
on behalf of the state before
A court OF superior jurisdiction TO
that which issued the injunction.
In this the governor states that
the acting governor. in his absence.
had asked thai the hearing be
postponed until he. the governor.
might return and have an oppor.
tunity to investigate the contro.
yefsy The governor sets forth in
his petition that he is the sole au.
thorty to determine such matters.
and that the attorney general and
the Judge of the lower court had
no right In the case and that the
action Of the Judge OF the lower
court represented IAN cncroach-
m,nt by the judiciary" The attor.
ncy general ordered that the dis.
solution of the Injunction, stating
that the Prairie OH Il Gas com.
pluy was foreign corporation
which had not accepted the pro.
visions of the constitution applica.
bic to such corporations. and that
without authority of the law It
employed great force Of men and
teams to dig mp. across and into
various highways Of the state
for the purpose of laying it's pipe
lines The governor prevailed. the
injunction was suspended. and the
pine line was permitted to continue
its work to use the words of the
attorney general without any color
OF law"
call your attention to the fact
that the question is not whether or
not the Judge erred, or whether the
Injunction was proper The point
Is that the governor was alert to
take out of the hands of the at
torney general what the attorney
general felt was his sworn duty 10
prevent an alleged instance of the
breaking OF the laws by this partic-
ular great corporation.
Claims no Defense.
As far as | have seen Gov Haskell
has not even attempted anything
which can be called defense of this
action of his II thus appears that
his action was as unexcusable as II
was wanton, except on the theory
that in defiance of the attorney gene,
raj af the state and at all haznrds
he intended for some reasons of his
own to protect the interests OF a great
corporation against the law. IL has
