Former Representatives Talk With

liam r. Hearst created a sensation here
last night at meeting under the auspices
of the independence party. when he read
letters which he said had been written
by John D. Archbold of the Standard Oil
Company, to Senator J. B. Foraker Of
Ohio, referring to legislation pending in
Congress. and mentioning two Enclosures
Of checks, one for $4,000 and another for
$14,5O0 Mr.. Hearst said:
I'VE claim that the republican party
has been for a long time the beneficiary
of trust corruption, and that the demo-
cratic party has only awaited an oppor-
tunity to share its sisters profitable in
fanny. We claim that the democrats are
today eagerly competing with the repub
licans for trusts favor
Democrats Welcome Rockefeller.
I'VE claim that when Theodore Roose-
welt whipped the Standard Oil out of the
republican party the democratic party
welcomed that convicted criminal with
open arms. We claim that the democratic
party killed for Mr.. Rockefeller the fatted
calf. and that there Is more rejoicing
over this one sinner who has Joined the
democratic cause than there is over the
hundreds of thousands of honest, faithful

masses. l am not here with empty as
sertions, but with legal evidence and doc
umentary proof.
Il am now going to read copies of let
ters written by John D. Archbold. chief
agent Of the Standard Oil, an intimate
personal representative of Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter and Mr.. Rogers. These letters have
been given to me by gentleman who has
intimate associations with this giant of
corruption, the Standard Oil, but whose
name l may not divulge. lest he be sub
jected to the persecution Of this monopoly

My Dear Senator: have your favor
Of last night with Enclosure, which lat
ter, with letter from Mr.. Elliott, COM
menting on same, beg to send you here
with. Perhaps it would be better to
make demonstration against the whole
bill. but certainly the ninth clause. to
which Mr.. Elliott refers, should be strick-
en- out, and the same Is true of House Bill
No. 800. also introduced by Mr.. Price. in
relation to foreign corporations, in which
the same Objectionable clause occurs.
Am glad to hear that you think that
the situation Is fairly we'll in hand.
JOHN D. ARCHBOLD.
