Pittsburg Leader, the official mouthpiece of Senator William Flinn, and thp local organ of the Washington (Roosevelt) party, publishes the following Boies Penrose. senior United States senator from Pennsylvania, will have to face impeachm?nt pro ceedings. He knows this and that is why he is fighting sn desperately to elect assemblymen and state senators who will obey him and help to keep the scandal suppressed The charge upon which his col leagues in the senate will try him will be that of having accepted money from a corporation to influ ence his action ns a public official. The letters alleged to have been written by John D. Archbold, finan cial agent of the Standard Oil Trust, to Penrose will be the basis of the impeachment charges Legislature To Take Up Oil Letters. These letters will be presented tn the state assembly when It meets In January, for investigation, and. If not contradicted, the legislature will be asked to transmit the facts to the national congress with Impeachment proceedings to follow One of the letters referred to is one of a series published in the current issue of Hearst's Magazine, all writ ten to Penrose by John D. Arch bold and all referring to legislation, senate committee work and official investigations in which the OH trust, needed protection. The money let ter follows: 2S Broadway, New York, Oct. 13, 1904. My Dear Senator—ln fulfilment of our understanding, It gives me great pleasure to hand you here with certificate of deposit to your favor for *25,000, and with good wishes, I am Yours truly. JOHN D. ARCHBOLD. Hon. Boles Penrose. 1331 Spruce street, Philadelphia, Pa. Penrose To Be Asked To Explain. it is this letter, particularly, that Penrose will be asked to explain when the Investigation Is opened He will be asked to tell what serv ices he. as a United States senator, rendered the Standard Oil Trust for which he received *26,000. If any, and why this monopoly, which was then bitterly fighting against allow ing the people to curb its power, should give both money and good t wishes'' to a United States senator who was supposed to be represent- Ing the people. Another of the letters from Arch bold to Penrose explains something of the "understanding referred to in the money letter Some ten years ago there was in existence the United States Indus trial commission, composed chiefly of members of the senate and lower house In Its daj It was an Import ant institution, having much the same character as the committee that has Just finished the investigation of the Steel corporation. “Letter Sounds Pretty Peremptory.’’ The chief business of this old indus trial commission was to investigate the Standard Oil Company. The chairman of the commission was Senator Kyle One of the members was Penrose Kyle died and Archbold wrote to Senator Penrose: We are very strongly of the opinion that you should take the chairmanship. Lastly, and may we hope not unfairly, we make It as a strong personal request. May I venture to ask for an af firmative answer by wire? That sounds pretty peremptory, but It may be that the Standard OU Company had a right to be per emptory to Penrose, the right that every master has to give orders to a servant whom he pays, and pays well. For In other correspondence it Is recorded that chairman Penrose sent an advance copy of the commit tee's report to Mr. Archbold tor ap proval. and that Mr. Archbold "O. K'd" It before it was given to the country. T. R. Denies Money Was for His Aid OYSTER BA Y.

James D Price of Oconee, is waging a dignified campaign for com missioner of agriculture, and winning much favor and many votes through out the state by reason of bis dispas sionate and businesslike attitude.

Brown says Blalock sought to have the fertilizer trust hack the Bla lock campaign, and, being a banket and a lawyer, is bound tight to the 'big Interests.' "These two have hammered at each other, and produced so much evident) and near-evldence to back up their va rious accusations, that I have about decided that I do not know what Is the truth about either one of them. If half of what each says about the other is true, neither should be elected commis sioner. “What I do know Is this, however. Price is nobody’s man but his own. He wears his own collar and bosses his own conscience. He Is a practical, suc cessful farmer—knows the farming business from top to bottom, and would be able, by reason of bls practical knowledge, to conduct his office to the farmers' best interests Nobody charges Price with belonging to the fertilizer people, or of being under any obli gations to them.
