and they smothered to death. 1t blew
chickens off my trees, and at least

Storm Breaks About Him.
Along toward the middle of the cam
paign the. storm began to break around
Gov. Haskell. The Democrats were
vigorously accusing the Republicans
of harboring, the friends of corpora
lions and enemies of the workingman
when the Republicans began to ask
the Democrats about Gov. Haskel's
record in those particular connections.
Also one William Randolph Hearst got
on Mr. Haskell's trail, making few
speeches in Oklahoma and charging
Haskell with secretly fighting union
labor.
Haskell denied he ever had opposed
union labor but few days later the
Tribune printed facsimiles Of docu-
ments disclosing the signature of Gov.
Haskell to resolutions Of the Citizens
alliance, organized for the purpose Of
combating the labor unions. 1t was
| shown that he was instrumental in
forming the organization. Haskell de-
| MED the charge at first, but later ad-
| mitted its truth.
Following this Hearst exposed the
connection of Haskell with the Incl
dent of the alleged 100000 bride Of
fered Attorney General Monnett of
Ohio to abandon prosecution Of the
Standard Oil company. Haskell was
named as one of three men cognizant
of the bride offer. He denied this
| emphatically. Then there We're other
charges connecting Haskell with ques-
