Hearst, in a statement cablcd to his
New York American from London,
makes more charges against Senator
Boics penrose and adds that he has
no confidence in Theodore Roosevelt,
He says:
THE S25, 900 sent to Senator PEN
rose in certificate or deposit by Mr.
Arehbold was tcr Senator Penrose's
own use in his personal Pennsyl-
iyania campaign.
Senator Penrose acknowledge
the receipt Of he $2b, 900 certificate
and referred specifically to Mr..
Archbold's letter of Oct 13, in
which the certificate was inclosed.
Furthermore, Senator Penrose signed
the acknowledgement as chairman
| of the Pennsylvania State commit
tee
Other Standard Oil contributions
were solicited and employed by 9TH
er committees in the campaign of
1904, but this particular certificate
of deposit was obtained by Senator
Penrose for his own use in his own
state, and | leave the documents to
prove this.
Is Not Defending Roosevelt.
If Senator Penrose should tell
any further falsehoods | shall be
glad to disprovc them, but sufficient
for the day is the evil thereof"
In the same statement Mr., Hearst
says he is not engaged in defending
Mr. Roosevelt and will later print
Letters which will not particularly
please the Colonel
The people Of the United States
should ask their representatives in
the United states Senate few di-
rest and pertinent questions" says
Hearst.
"Why was not attempt made by
the United States Senate to probe
actual and established Standard Oil
bribery and corruption
"Why was Mr.. Archbold allowed
to ignore the instance of proved
Standard Oil bribery and to make
unsupported allegations that had lit
tie or nothing to do with actual cor
ruption.
"Why was not Mr.. Archbold prop
mony and why not the evidence in
culpating Government officials and
discriminating both political parties
fearlessly brought out?
"Why was rot n Archbold asked
to prod. ~ documents to establish
the ti2 y of his testimony, when
the Senate knows perfectly well that
Monuments are not lacking to cstab-
lish whatever is true in this Stand
ard Oil conspiracy.
"Why was Mr.. Archbold allowed
to leave the country when he had
given only immaterial, incons9cuen-
tiaI and largely untruthful tcsti-
mony, and when he should have
been held not only as the main wi
ness, but as the chief corruptionist?
"Why were not Senator Penrose
and other culpablo United States
Senators INVESTIGATED az to their ac-
tual guilt i'll this so-called Standard
Oil investigation by the Senate?
why was Senator Penroso not
asked to produce some proof in his
defense when the accusations
against him were based upon docu-
mentary evidence and absolute legal
procf9 /,
Assails Roosevelt, Recalls 1908,
why were the empty assertions
lof Senator Penrose, confessed cor
! ruptionist, accepted without qucs-
tion and no opportunity given the
victims Of Senator Peurose's attack
! to reply to his assertions?
Il am not a partisan OF Mr..
/ Roosevelt, ASIA matter Of fact, |
have neither confidence in nor adj
, miraton for Mr.. Roosevelt
When | was battling in 1908 for
| exactly the same principles which
Mr. Roosevelt has at last appropriate
ed as his party program, Mr. Roose-
welt sent Mr.. Root, Tweed's agent
and his, into the New York State
/ fight to attack me and to compass
the defeat of the priniiples for which
! stood "Mr. Roosevelt has since
denounced Mr.. Root as corvup-
ZIONIST, which he is. and was then.
Mr.. Roosevelt has since pronounced
my program right, which 1t Is, and
was then.
"But mfr Roosevelt did not feel
that Mr.. Root was corruptionist
until Mr.. Root had opposed him,
and Mr.. Roosevelt did not realize
! that the progressive program was
