7. R. ASKED MORGAN FOR
100000, SAYS RUSSELL
Socialist Candidate for Gov
ernOr Declares FinanCler
Called Colonel Maniac.
REQUEST BY TELEPHONE
Northumberland Quoted as Re
marking He Supposed He
Would Have to Help Out
1904 Campaign Fund.

Charles Edward Russell. the Socialist
candidate Tor Governor, in opening his
campaign here yesterday, declared that
Theodore Roosevelt demanded 100000
more of j. Pierpont Morgan for his
campaign fund when he was running
against Alton B. Parker. in 1901.
MIR Morgan was called at his office
on the long distance telephone from
Washington, according to Mr. Russell,
who said he was not at liberty To dis
close the source of his information. but
would vouch for it's authenticity. The
Socialist nominee said Mr.. Morgan re-
marked that he supposed he would
have To raise the 100000.
The Roosevelt Morgan episode was
the feature of Mr. Russell's speech.
which he delivered in the New star
Casino, at Park avenue and loith
street. His story of the campaign de-
mand was as follows:
Wayne MacVeagh was in the Office OF
J. Pierpont Morgan on a social call our
ing the month OF October. 1904. He ana
sation, when a timid secretary interrupt
ed them TO tell Mr.. Morgan that some
one wanted to talk TO him on the teie-
phone. MIR. Morgan replied with proiahe
emphasis that he did not wish to be dls-
turbed. ..
But" ventured the secretary. this
cali is from Washington
At this point Mr.. Morgan got up ana
went into the telephone booth. The con-
vrrsation lasted about half an hour.
Meanwhile Mr.. MacNeagh kept hearing
expressions so vigorous that they spilled
out OF the booth. At last Mr.. Morgan
got up. slammed the door OF the BOOM,
and came stamping across the room. his
face purple with rage. AS soon as he
could get his voice he shouted TO MI
MacNeagh:
What do YOU think that blank-blank
maniac IN the White House wants me 10
do? Raise $4,000 more for his campaign,
after all we did for him..
Mr. MacVeagh asked Mr.. Morgan what
he was going to do about it, and Mr..
Morgan replied:
~ suppose il will have 10 he done.
Mr. Russell said ne wondered If Mr..
Roosevelt had the above alleged con-
vcrsation in mind when he wrote: 1--WE
cannot afford 20 antagonize the great
Morgan interests. which have been so
friendly to us"
The Socialist candidate said he was
prepared TO tell other things about Mr..
Roosevelt in the course Of his cam
paign.

Mr.. Rogers being an old friend ana party

Colonel Roosevelt here quotes long ex-
tract from an interview with Mr.. Bliss
On tho Hartman Roosevelt controversy.
nuhlished in 1.-THE New York Herald on
december .. 1911 purporting to have been
given by Mr.. Bliss a few months before
his death. In this interview Mr.. Bliss was
quoted in part as follows:
In his statement I'm tho alleged Web
ster letter. that Mr.. Roosevelt asked
him 10 raise money. Mr.. Hartman was
mistaken. Then the President had moth
ing TO do with raising any money. Not
once I'm the conference Of the committee
was there any suggestion that he was
doing ii. .
The only thing that Mr.. Roosevelt
had TO do with such matters Was 10
issue orders that money was not to DE
accepted from this or that person. His
orders were ignored. as II was recog-
nized that this was something about
which he must not interfere, and
brooked no interference.
Now this is all there Is To this bust
ness. Mir. Hartman certainly was inter-
ested in raising perhaps 100000. not for
the national committee, but for the state
committee; not at the request OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt. but at my request. not
for the national ticket. but for the state
ticket In which Mr.. Hartman, as Gov
ernor Odells particular friend. was IN
terested above almost any one else.

Not Able to Express Opinion.
Colonel Roosevelt then continues:

In view OF this reported interview with
MIR. Bliss and Of the rumors that | have
already heard. do not feel able TO ex.
press an opinion as to whether or not he
did, against my explicit directions and In
spite OF the assurance given me, receive
any money from the Standard OIL people.
But / do feel warranted In saying.
from my own knowledge of Mr.. Bliss
and of his character. that he never
made any proposition in the nature of a
blackmail. az Mr.. Archbold and Mr.. Pen
rose testify that he did. and am abso-
have gone into any scheme looking To
the receipt Of campaign contributions in
