William Randolph Hearst has cabled
the following to his newspapers here:
LONDON. Aug. 2i.-I have read in the
foreign papers accounts Of the explanation
that Seantor Penrose has given Of his re-
Ceipt of n certificate OF deposit for s25 900
rom the Standard Oil Company.
! have also read Senator Penrose' = state
ment OF the purpose for which this secret
certificate OF deposit was intended and the
use to which this sum Of money and other
sums of money from the Standard Oil Com
pany were put.
Senator Pcnrose's explanation Ia not
quite accurate. His statement is not al
together truthful lie II in part saying
what is true and in part saying what is false.
| have the documents to prove my asser-
ton.
Senator Penrose should take warning OF
the fate Of Senator Foraker and the predica-
ment of that gentleman when he attempted
to explain falsely the reason for which his
certificates OF deposit from MIR. Archbod
were received. was able TO produce
promptly the documents which shove Il
that Senator Foraker was not speaking the
truth. and that the certificates were received
for other purposes than the ones stated by
him.
Senator Penrose should also remember
the difficulty into which MIR. Archboid got
himself 10y making false statements in re-
gard 10 some OF the letters published incul-
pating certain PENNSYLVANIA Judges. Mr..
Archbold said that he had interested him
self in the selection of these Judges without
their knowledge. thereupon produced
more letters of Mr. Archbold's. in which
the Judges were shown to have requested
him to interest himself in their behalf
! advise Senator Penrose. therefore.
20 adhere to the exact facts and to speak
the whole truth. for the whole truth Will
surely he brought out in the present series
OF articles now appearing in my maga-
zines.
The September issue is already on the
pres. and cannot alter that to include a
repY to Senator Penrose. but in the October
issue | shall deal with Senator Penrose 5
use OF the Standard OIL funds. and also
with Mr. Goosevelt's relations with the
Standard Oil Company and their agents.
| shall. moreover. not make any statements
that are not substantiated by documentary
evidence.
II is "A notable fact that Senator Penrose
confines his statements 10 allegations I'M
supported bv leral proof " Is also worthy
OF note that MIR. Archhold does not produce
any OF the interesting documents that he
has in his possession TO establish the truth
of his utterances. He quotes Mr.. Bliss. who
is no longer there to question the accuracy
of his statements. hut he does not produce
any letters To or from Mr.. Bliss. 10 or from
Senator Penrose to or from Mr.. Babcock
or TO or from Mr.. Roosevelt,
Mr. Archbold's word needs doc ume entary
support That fact has been proved here
tofore. and Mr.. Archbold has already been
confounded BY the evidence OF his own
letters and those of his agents and con
federatcs in political life and public plunder
As a matter of fact. various Republican
campaign committees solicited Standard
oil money and accepted Standard OIL money
and employed standard Oil money in the
campaign of 1904. and various Democrats
received Standard oil money then and
later.
Mr. Archbold has told part OF the truth
but not all Of IT, let him tell ail'of 1t ana
produce the interesting documents that
cucumber his files.
Mr. Roosevelt too should tell of the visits
of Mr. Rogers and MIR. Archbold to him In
Washington, OF Mr.. Sibley's activity In
bringing about these meetings. OF the
perfect understa nding" that existed and
various other matters OF interest and i'm
portance 10 the nation. All of these things
i'll appear in due time. and Mr.. Roosevelt
might as well relate them now.
II must be said OF Mr.. Roosevelt. however.
that. although he received the financial
and political support OF the Standard OIL
Company, he repud 'ated that institution
after he was elected
In the same manner Mr. Wilson received
the financial andlpoiitical support OF Senat or
Smith OF New Jersey and repudiated him
after election.
MIR. Roosevelt can boast OF a belated
honesty. SO why not be completely frank
with the public and tell them the whole
truth? Why should not Senator PenrOss
and MIR. Archbold and Mr.. Roosevelt and
Mr. Sibley all tell the whole truth. particu-
larly when they can be so confidently as
sured that If they do not, willr
