"--TheOdOre Roosevelt"
The other letters and kilograms re.
lated to one recently made public ny
Mr.. Hearst. in which Congressman
Sibley wrote MIR. Archbold that Prest-
dent Roosevelt was anxious to SEQ
Washington and take luncheon with
the president. The letters addressed
to MIR. Sibley expressed MIR. Archbold's
regret that he could not come and en-
pressed the hope that he might later
visit the president.
MIR. Archbold told the committee
that he did not go to III white house
at that time, January, 1904.
81 must have you bring them
over the president said. according to-
Mr.. Archbold: and the latter added
that they went on the day appointed
to Oyster Bay. at the invitation of Col.
Roosevelt.
Mr.. Archbold declared the letters
made public by Mr.. Hearst had been
stolen from the files of his o ce; but
he declined to name those whom he
suspected to the theft. He said he be-
lieved the letters contained nothing
that is subject to just criticism" and
that they were such letters as Il man
in a position like mine would write TO
men in representative positions"
Il never made a request of any mar
that meant the infraction Of an exist
ing law, or the making of my new
law. or the giving of any special
privilege" he said. "Of course condi-
tions have changed: the campaign
publicity laws since made have chang
ed things. but h other matters in the
letters l would repeat today. l have
no apology to make"
He declared 1t was amazing that
a man in Mr.. Roosevelt's position
would make the assertion that because
OF this contribution Of money to Sem
ator Penrose for campaign purposes.
Mr.. Penrose should be expelled from
the senate"
1T is a monstrous thing to say"
said Mr.. Archbold.
The letter Sent by Republican Chair
man Hilles to George w. Perkins and
given to the senate committee today
was in part as follows:
In your letter of recent date you
question my assertion thai millions of
dollars of Harvester money were en-
pended in the effort to nominate Mr..
Roosevelt.
The public has not been furnished
with statements as to sums received
and disbursed by you n your allies.
But there are other ways of ascertain
ing the amounts expended, and par
ticularly by estimating the easily as
certainable cost of things that We're
done. Five OF six OF Mr.. Roosevelt's
witnesses have already admitted that
they expended approximately $685.
The letter stated that this "a cx-
elusive Of the money spent in a great
number of states, which are named.
and in which Mr.. Hilles said a hard
Roosevelt fight was made. He said
that in addition. enormous sums
were spent by the Roosevelt
ment in fomenting strife and creating
nearly 200 contests in the southern
states and in transporting the fictiti-
Gus claimats to Chicago and paving
their hotel expenses while there"
AS to the assertion that Harvester
money was used Mr.. Hilles said I'm
his letter to Mr.. Perkins that the lat
ter has zen IN active figure IN tha
International Harvester company anu
that as chairman of the finance COM
mittee "to all intents and
you have been the harvester trust"
Somehow we should hate to hayo
the sort of religion which makes one
feel bad about everything.
