HASKELL MAY
Be FpsCED INTO
RETIREMENT
New York Members of Cam
paign Committee Seek His
Removal.
Said to Have Promoted Crook
ed Deals i'm New York.
MACK Is NOW READY To ACT

New York, Sept. 2i.-It became
known as Democratic national head
quarters last night that several COM
mitteemen are preparing to use every
Influence to bring about the removal
of Gov. Chas n. Haskell from the
office of treasurer of the national COM
mittee. Mack declared today that IL
the charges against Gov. Haskell
were proved he would expect him to
resign.
This is result of the publication of
charges that Mr. Haskell as governor
of Oklahoma declined to permit the
state to prosecute the Prairie OIL COM
pany, a subsidiary company of the
Standard OIL company.
Charges that Gov. Haskell had been
identified with several railroad pro-
motions in this city. which are said
It have been unfortunate in the mat
ter of contamination, are said to-
night to have these national commit
.teemen that the time has about come
for Gov Haskell to resign from the
committee or be removed.
Takes No Action As Yet.
Pending consideration OF the reply
Of President Roosevelt to William J.
Bryan's letter asking that the presi-
dert show proof of the charges made.
National Chairman Mack is taking no
action in the matter. nor would he
state last night what the outcome
might be with reference to the Haskell
matter, though his attitude is known
to be such as to oppose the continu-
ance on the committee of any man
whose ahilictions are proved 10 be
with corporations which are opposed
by Mr. Bryan
Mr. Mack said last night that he
had had no communication with Mr..
Bryan or Gov. Haskell on the matter.
and that he would take no action I'M
less President Roosevelt brought abb
'solute proof of the charges.
1t was made plain by national COM
mitteemen tonight that when Gov.
Haskell was selected as treasurer of
the committee there was not the
slightest knowledge that any clarge
suggestions could be made against
him with regard to his attitude or re-
ported connection with railroad
promotions, and that Mr. Bryan him
self had no knowledge of the matter

Haskell Assumed Rcsponsibility.
The governor set forth IN his petit
tion that he is sole authority to de-
termine such matters, and that the
attorney general aud Judge of the
lower court had no right in the case
aud the action Of the Judge OF the
lower court represented ian en-
croachment by the Judiciary. Tie
attorney general opposed the disco
luton OF che Injunction, stating that
the Prairie Oh aad Gas company as a
corporation had not accepted the
provisions of the constitution APP
pllcable to such corporations, and that
without the authority OF the law II
was employing great force OF men
and teams to dig up across and into
various highways Of the state for tn
purpose OF laying its pipe lines.

ton was suspended and the pipe line

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 attorney general what
the attorney general felt was his
sworn duty to prevent, an alleged in
stance of breaking the laws by this
particular great corporation. As far
as / have seen. Governor Haskell has
rot even attempted anything which
can be called a defense of this action
of his. 1t thus appears that this ac-
ton was as dnexcusable as it waS
wanton. except on the theory that in
defiance of the attorney general of
the state and at all hazards. he in
tended for some reasons of his own to
protect the interests OF the great cor
poratlou against the law
standard Owned Prairie.
II has been suggested on his behalf
that after ALL he did not favor the
Standard Oil, but merely the Prairie
oil and Gas company. This claim,
the president says, is disposed of by
the testimony of the Standard OIL
company itself in the latter part of
1907, in the suit now pending before
the United States court at st. Louis
against the Standard OIL. IL was
shown that the Prairie Oil and Gas
company capital, $4,000, 900, was
owned, all except $500 by the Ma
