FAVORED OIL COMPANY
Charles West, Says that He Was Told
y Insulting Language Not TO Inter
fere with the Work Of the Prairie
Oil Company IL Oklahoma.

GUTHRIE, Okla, Sept. 23.-"Presi.
dent R%oosevelt's statement concerning
Governor Haskell's alleged connection
with the Standard Oil company seems
e me 9 very mild rebuke,'' declared
Charles West, Democratic attorney
general Of Oklahoma, when shown the
presidents letter to William j. Bryan
by an Associated Press representative
tonight. Mr.. Vests statement fol-
lows:
THE presidents statement as to the
Prairie Oil and Gas company is less
than the whole matter IN It's iniquity,
because OF the 23rd Of April / had
informed the governor that the action
taken by the Prairie company was IL
legal and should be enjoined and that
I had brought an injunction suit. At
that time the governor agreed with
me as to the Illegally Of the action
and approved the bringing Of the In
junction.
The same day the governor left
the state to go to Denver, the Prairie
company started its trespassing. This
4 believe was previously arranged be-
tween the governor and Prairie com
pany, as the company rushed the lay
ing of its pipe during the absence Of
the governor of the state.
tT vuirod the un1,nvvnn~ - AZ. at -
July asking whether he had given the
company permission to build their
line. His reply eyaded my question
and instead Of answering 1t he said
that he was satisfied that the Prairie
company would not violate the law
Between the 22nd OF April and the
22nd Of July Governor Haskell re-
ceived advice from his legal advisers
as to the matter and II he had received
advice from his assistant attorney GEN
5eral he did not do me the honor OF
submitting the same to me.
when we heard Of the bringing Of
the suit he directed the acting goyern.
or to order me to dismiss the suit ana
INDUCED In insolvent language TO tho
effect that he would not tolerate any
proceeding by me except, ct his d.
rection. The use Of this insulting Ian
gulage regarding me, together With his
sudden change Of heart between April
and July evidences that some very
deep and controlling motive 81 I per
sonal nature was back 81 his action.
The only person that the propo.
sition could help was tho Standard
Oil company and that he haxarded
Rs much as he did for them after his
sudden change Of heart. supplies the
necessary factor for any Intelligent
to reckon whether the governor
Df Oklahoma has . leaning toward
he Standard OIL company and there.
!ore the presidents statement sesm to
. very mild rebuke.
