1t down after all-this Penrose-ArchbaIi reve2
auon-sery much the same point as the Hartman fund
though it was only one-haf as heavy contribution
There is little doubt it was given and used
Whether or not its acceptance implied obligation by
Mr. Roosevelt to Special consideration for the donor
another question There hardly any dispute the
fact that such an implication accepted by both Harri
man and Archbod In the Archbold instance there was
personal communication with Mr. Roosevelt The
money given, Archbold Mr. Bliss treasurer
of the campaign committee Mr. Roosevelt himself con-
firms that much his letter of October &c 1904 to Mr.
Cortelyou chairman Of the committee In that letter
Mr.. Roosevelt said Il have just informed that
the Standard Oil people have contributed 100000 to
campaign fund.-" and he instructed Mr. Corteyou to re
quest Mr. Bliss return it. Archbold says he gave
100000 to Mr. Bliss in September OF that year. He also
it back him. There can be no doubt,
therefore, that the money paid the Roosevelt
campaign fund by the Standard Oil people that
Roosevelt had knowledge of the There can be no
doubt that he ordered returned that it
turned 100000 of Standard oil money-ater there was
$4,000 more of the same-was therefore in promo
ton of Mr.. Rooseves candidacy for president in 1904
Archbold says that he stipulated particularly en-
phatcaly that Mr. Roosevelt should of the contr-
button, and that he should appreciate gratefully and
he says that Mr.. Bliss him full assurances of Mr..
Rooseves knowledge and appreciation. He says too,
that later Mr.. Bliss asked him for more money init
mating very clearly that would be him to give
it and unhealthy his interests So He didn't
give and his interests became decidedly unhealthy in
Mr.. Roosevelts hands. When was this? The date is
not exactly fixed, but it time between the
of the first contribution in September the election
the Tuesday in November. Could it have been
about october &C. the day Mr. Roosevelt Mr. Cor
telyou of the first contribution and wanted
eurned If So could it be that Mr. Roosevets instruc-
ton to return the first contribution for purposes
only? That's what Senator Penrose suggests and
Mr. Roosevelt declares that the suggestion proves
Penroses "incurable of soul" Maybe So but
there should be further eucidaton of the actual facts
of the Clearly the necessity for an inquiry into
the whole matter is not the absurdy Mr. Roosevelt has
declared it to be, does his letter Mr. orteyou
dispose completely of the Whole matter as he claims
it does.
Mr.. Archbold, at least, badly used or thinks he
He gave the money the understanding that Mr.
Roosevelt should know of it be grateful for it, Mr.
Roosevelt did know of it Mr. Achbold given
understand that he grateful for ii wished
for more, the ground no doubt that good turn
deserved another Was Mr. Roosevelt note grateful for
the money and did he more of Mr. Arehbolo
didn't get his money back. He did get the punishment
Mr.. Bliss suggested refusal to put up money
would bring him. Did Mr. Bliss deceive Mr. Archbod and
betray Mr. Roosevelt? Mr.. Roosevelt it himself
to prove that if truth and the friends of Mr.
Bliss and the managers of the party with which ha was
long associated in high confidence owe it to mem
DRY to disprove it if it is not the truth.
