HEARST ASKS WHY SENATE SPARER OIL MAGNATE “Why Was Archbold Allowed to Leave Country After Giving Untruthful Testimony?” $25,000 CHECK WAS FOR PENROSE PERSONALLY “It Was Not for Use in Roose velt’s Campaign, and I Can Prove It.” • Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. LONDON. Aug. 30. The people of the United States should ask their rep resentatives in the United States sen ate a few direct and pertinent ques tions. Why was no at*empt made by the United States senate to probe actual and established Standard Oil bribery and corruption? Why was .Mr. Archbold allowed to -ignore the instance of proven Standard Oil bribery and to make unsupported allegations that had little or nothing to do with actual corruption? Why was not .Mr. Archbold properly erbts-examined on his testimony and why was not the evidence inculpating go- nut' nt officials and incriminating bolh poli-.K-a; parties fearlessly brought out ? Why Were No Documents Demanded? Why was not Air. Archbold asked to produce documents to establish the truth of his testimony where the senate knows perfectly well that documents are not lacking to establish whatever is true in this Standard Oil conspiracy? Why was Mt. Archbold allowed to leave the country when he had given only immaterial, inconsequential ami largely untruthful testimony and when he should have been held not only as the main witness, but as the chief cor ruptionist ? Why- were not Senator Penrose and other culpable United States senators investigated as to their actual guilt in this so-called Standard Oil investiga tion by' the senate? Why Were Penrose’s Assertions Accepted? Wily was Senator Penrose not asked to produce ; .>me proof in his defense when the accusations against him were based upon documentary evidence ami absolute legal proof? Why were the empty assertions of Senator Penrose, confessed corruption ist. accepted without question and no opportunity given the victims of Sena tor Penrose's attack to reply to his assr lions.’ 1 am not a partisan of Mr. Roosevelt. A a metier of fact. I have neither con fident! in nor admiration for Mr. Roosevell When I was battling in 1906 for ex actly the same principles which Mr R osevelt has at last appropriated as his party program. Mr. Roosevelt sent Mr. Root, Tweed's agent and his. Into th’ New York state fight to attack me and to compass the defeat of the prin ciples for which I stood. Why Roosevelt Is Progressive. .Mr. Roosevelt has since denounced Mr. Root as a corruptionist, which he is and was then. .Mr. Roosevelt has sim-e pronounced my program right. k which it is and was then. But Mr. Roosevelt diil not feel that Mr. Root v ns a corruptiopist until .Mr. Root had opposed him, and Mr. Roosevelt did not realize that the progressive program v. s tight until he saw where he could b nofit by the popular sentiment which had been aroused in its support. When 1 say my publications were sustaining the assaults of privileged for interfering with their control of the people's government, wo had to sus tain also the assaults of Mr. flftot and Mr. Roosevelt.
