ARCHBOLD, PENROSE
FALSIFIERS, SAYS T. FL;
APPLAUDS MR. HEARST
OYSTER BAY, Sept. 2.—Detailed re
ply to the recent testimony of John D.
Archbold and Senator Penrose before
the Clapp committee of the senate in
vestigating campaign contributions was
made by Colonel Roosevelt in a letter
sent to Senator Clapp just before he
left on his long Western trip. The let
ter contains about 18,000 words.
"1 have answered every question as
fully and explicitly as is possible.” said
the colonel. “I think I have covered the
ground. Os course. I can not go on in
definitely explaining the things which
are always being brought up again,
just as though I never explained them.”
To illustrate his point. Colonel Roose
velt said that his opponents were al
ways saying that the corporations con
tributed to his 1904 campaign and that
he had denied it. although, he said, he
had merely denied tnat money from
corporations had been accepted in re
turn for promises of favors from the
government. In the Democratic text
book just issued, he said, it was stated
that the United States Steel Corpora
tion had contributed SIO,OOO to his cam
paign.
“I never said that no such contribu
tion was received,” he continued. "I
have no knowledge of such a contribu
tion, but if it was made, I suppose it
was a perfectly proper one.”
In his statement Colonel Roosevelt
applauded William Randolph Hearst for
his great "public service” in making
public the oil letters which have ap
peared in the Hearst magazines and
newspapers.'
Fail to Investigate Local Charge,
The letter says, in part:
"The charge against Mr. Penrose was
a direct charge. This charge was not
merely that he took $25,000 from the
Standard Oil Company, but that at or
about the tUue of his taking it. while
a member of a committee of the sen
ate, which was formed to investigate
Industrial affairs in the United States,
he’was in constant communication
with Mr, Archbold on the subject and
that he submitted to Mr. Archbold,
for his approval in advance, a copy
of the report of the commission. If
those statements are true, of course.
Mr. Penrose is unfit to represent the
people in the United States senate;
and the testimony against him is direct.
Apparently, however, the committee is
investigating not this charge against
Mr. Penrose, which was sustained by
direct evidence, but Mr. Penrose’s coun
tercharge, which was sustained by no
evidence at all and only by the repeti
tion of second-hand gossip,
“As regards the statement of Mr.
Penrose and Mr. Archbold that with
my consent or knowledge Mr. Bliss
asked the Standard oil Company for
$100,00(1. or oti-.ci -urn. or received such
sum from them. i< is an unqualified
falsehood.
All Without His Knowledge.
If any request for funds was made
from the Standard Oil Company, or if
any funds were received from the
Standard Oil Company, by Mr. Bliss or
anyone else connected with the na
tional committee in 1904. :l Was not
merely don. without my knowledge,
but was done against my express di
rection and prohibition and in spite
of the fact that 1 was assured that
no such request had been made and
that no such contribution had been or
would be received.”
Colonel Roosevelt includes here his
letters and telegrams to George B. Cor
telyou. the Republican national chair
man. of October 26, 27 and 29. 1904, re
spectively, which were made public re
cently. They called Mr. Cortelyou’s
attention :.o a report that Standard Oil
interests had contributed SIOO,OOO to
the Roosevelt campaign and directed
that the money be returned if the re
port were true. The telegram was one
asking if this had been done and add
ing that there should be no delaying
in so doing.
"Subsequent to this telegram Mr.
Loeb, tny private secretary, called Mr.
Cortelyou up on the telephone." the
letter continues, "and later 1 did so
myself. He notified me first through
Mr. Loeb and then directly that no

such contribution had been received
or would be received. He tells me he
saw Mr. Bliss, showed him the letters
and telegram, and that Mr. Bliss then
told him that no Standard Oil money
had been received and that none would
be accepted.
Turned Penrose Down,
"Mr. Penrose was a candidate for
chairman of the Republican national
committee in 1904 and it was reported
to me that the members of the com
mittee wished to choose him. This 1
emphatically refused to allow. I knew
but little of Mr. Penrose at the time,
but I was not willing to have any man
whom I did not personally know' and
in whose probity I did not have en
tire confidence as head of the commit
tee.
"Mr. Cortelyou was put on at my
personal request. He ran the cam
paign almost without suggestion from
me. 1 communicated with him occa
sionally by telephone, and generally in
writing."
Several matters irrelevant to the
committee's inquiry are mentioned by
Colonel Roosevelt as the topics of these
letters. He communicated also with
Senator Penrose, Colonel Roosevelt
added. One letter from Colonel Roose
velt to Senator Penrose, dated the day
after the 1904 election, read:
"Upon my word! Os all phenomena,
returns, the .Pennsylvania figures are
most phenomenal. 1 congratulate you
and heartily thank you."
Colonel Roosevelt continues:
"In all my communications with him
before or after election I spoke of con
tributions hut once. This was in a
letter to him of October 28. 1904, in
response to a request of his that I
should retain the services of one of his
henchmen, named Bunn, of the Phila
delphia postoffice, w ho had been recom
mended for removal by the civil service
commission because of the collection of
political assessments from among his
subordinates in the postoffice. My let
ter ended as follows:
“ I have no alternative but to direct
his removal. 1 suppose you won't like
this, and I am awfully sorry, but I beg
you to believe that if it were feasible
for me to act in any other way I would
do so; and it is only because I have no
other alternative that 1 must remove
Bunn.’ ”
About the Harriman Contribution.
Colonel Roosevelt next replies to an
allusion in the recent Washington tes
timony to Alton B. Parker’s charges in
1904 by introducing the statement he
issued* on November 4. 1904. in reply
to this charge, that big corporations
had contributed liberally to the Repub
lican campaign fund through the solici
tation of Mr. Cortelyou. Also, Colonel
Roosevelt includes the letter he wrote
to James S. Sherman, now vice presi
dent, on October 8, 7906. in which he
reviewed at length the Roosevelt-Har
riman controversy over the $260,000
contribution of the late E. H. Harriman
in 1904.
This letter. which was published
shortly after it was written, contained
correspondence between Messrs. Roose
velt and Harriman, and characterized
Mr. Harriman’s statement that Roose
velt requested him to raise $250,000 as
"a deliberate and willful untruth—by
rights it should be characterized by an
even shorter and more ugly word." It
also included the letter written by
Colonel Roosevelt,—then president—-to
Mr. Harriman on October 14. 1904, in
which Colonel Roosevelt said: “Now,
my dear sir, you and J are practical
men.” as well as several other letters
bearing closely on the issue. Colonel
Roosevelt’s letter to Senator,Clapp then
continues, as follows:
"This letter was written in Mr. Har
riman's lifetime, and neither was con
tradicted then, nor can be contradicted
now. Mr. Loeb, my then private secre
tary, heard my conversation with Mr.
Ha-riman, and can testify about it. Mr.
Harriman never even discussed with
me giving anything to the national
committee, and I never spoke to him
about it, or requested a dollar from him.
He asked me to intercede with M Bliss
and Mr. Cortelyou to vet money for
him and Mr. Odell in their state cam
paign. Mr. Loeb heard him make the
request, and by my direction transmit-

MR. HEARST RENDERED GREAT
PUBLIC SERVICE BY MAKING
OIL LETTERS PUBLIC, SAYS T.R.
Mr. Hearst has published much interesting and important
correspondence of the Standard Oil people”, especially Mr.
Archbold with various public men. I have in time past criti
cised Mr. Hearst, but in this matter he has rendered a public
service of high importance; and I hope he will publish all
the letters dealing with this matter which he has in his pos
session. If Mr. Hearst or anybody else has any letters from
me dealing with Standard Oil affairs, I shall be delighted to
have it published; and if anyone can suggest any question as
to any letter I have ever written or received on the subject,
and will give me the approximate date, I will at once try to
look it up. and, if I can find it, will publish it.— From Col.
Roosevelt's letter to Senator Clapp in answer to John D.
Archbold's Testimony on Campaign Contributions.
ted the i equest to Mr. Bliss and Mr.
Cortelyou over the telephone, as I did
myself later.
No Promises Made, Said Cortelyou.
"In my letters to Mr. Cortelyou dur
ing the campaign the only allusion that
I can find to campaign contributions is
in one in which I tell him that I have
heard a rumor that Senator Dick, of
Ohio, has been collecting money from
office holders, and that if so, he must
be warned to stop or he will get into
trouble.
"I communicated with Mr. Bliss very
frequently, and never made any allu
sion to contributions in any letter that
I wrote him or any conversation I had
with him. From Mr. Bliss, as from Mr.
Cortelyou, 1 received the explicit state
ment that no promise had been made
and no obligation entered into, directly
or indirectly, in connection with any
contribution that had been received, or
would be entered into in connection
with any contribution that might be re
ceived in ,the future.
"I have never discussed the question
of contributions with Mr. Perkins, save
in cpnnection with discussing the accu
sations brought before your commit
tee. I have never, directly or indirect
ly. asked him for a contribution, and 1
did not, so far as I can remember, ask
any human being for a contribution,
either while I was running for presi
dent or for vice president, or during
the recent primary, or since the recent
primary.
"Mr. Archbold has alluded to his visit
made a year or so after the election to
me in company with .Mr. Rogers. Mr.
Rogers and Mr. Archbold made an ap
pointment to see me through Mr. Root,
who was then In my cabinet. He was
not present at the interview. The sub
ject of campaign contributions was not
alluded to.
Messrs. Archbold and Rogers, the
former doing almost all the talking,
stated that they had come down in
connection with the accusations made
against the Standard Oil Company re
garding rebates, I informed them that
Mr. Garfield had informed me that he
was about to report very strongly
against the Standard Oil Company on
this matter: and I referred him to Mr
Garfield, suggesting that they see him
or Mr. H. K. Smith, and go over the
matter with them before coming to me.
Wondered at Sibley’s Activity.
"Mr. Sibley, then a congressman from
Pennsylvania, called upon me once of
twice to speak on behalf of the Stand
ard Oil people, and urged upon me that
they were very good men and that their
accusers were unworthy and misguided
creatures; but he did not make any
specific request about them as far as I
remember nor arrange an interview
with them. The only reason I remem
ber anything about what he said was
because, as he had been a Populist and
as 1 had supposed that he was anti
corporation in his feeling, I was a little
surprised at his turning up on behalf I
of the Standard Oil. i
"A couple of years later, when the
department of justice was taking the ,
preliminary steps for bringing suit to
dissolve the Standard Oil Company,
Senator Jonathan Bourne, on three or
four occasions, brought Mr. Archbold
in to see me. Two letters to Senator
Bourne were written by me after the
first and tne last of these interviews,
and explain themselves.
“These letters were in part as fol
lows:
“'Sagamore Hill, February 23, 1908.
My Dear Senator: As to what you told
me the other evening about the Stand
ard Oil people”; do remember that while
any proposals they make will be con
sioered in an entirely frank and hon
orable spirit, yet these proposals must
be. conditioned upon absolute obedience
to the law and must be laid in detail
before the attorney general and Frank
B. Kellogg before it would be possible
for me to express any opinion upon
them. I know you understand this, but
1 want you to be sure that the Stand
ard Oil people do not misunderstand it
and do not get the impression that it
is by my desire or on my initiative that
negotiations have been entered into
with them by you or by any one. Sin
cerely yours, Theodore Roosevelt.’
" ‘Oyster Bay. N. Y., July 3. 1908. —My
Dear Senator: In my judgment, it is
not only a waste of time, but inadvisa
ble, to try to carry off the negotiations
through you as intermediary. Let the
Standard Oil lawyers, any or all of
them, as Mr. Archbold or Mr. Rocke
feller or any one else may choose, de
cide as to tlie course they- wish to fol- ‘
low, and then communicate direct with 1
Mr. Kellogg, or the attorney general.
Sincerely yours. Theodore Roosevelt.’
Hearst Rendering Great Public Service.
"Mr. Hearst has published much in
teresting and important correspond
ence of the Standard Oil people, espe
cially Mr. Archbold with various pub
lic men. I have in time past criticised
Mr. Hearst, but in this matter he has
rendered a public service of high im- !
portance; and I hope he will publish !
all the letters dealing with this mat
ter which he has in his possession, if
Mr. Hearst or anybody else has any i
letters from me dealing with Standard I
Oil affairs, I shall be delighted to have
them published; and if any one can
suggest any question as to any letter I
have ever written or received on the
subject, and will give me the approxi
mate date, 1 will at once try to look
it up, and, if 1 can find it, will publish
it.
“1 wish to emphasize the fact that
the testimony of Mr. Archbold and Mr.
Penrose in this matter is an attack on
Mr. Bliss, who is dead, and is also un
wittingly the severest possible reflec
tion on themselves.
"Mr. Bliss never asked me for a favor
of any kind, and all his public and pri
vate acts, so far as 1 had knowledge of
them were on the highest plane of
just and honorable dealing. Mr. Bliss
never even asked me this about the
Standard Oil Company, and never in
any way alluded to the Standard Oil
Company to me. I never heard Mr.
Archbold's name mentioned in connec
tion with Mr. Bliss. But a year or so
after the election I heard a report that
Mr. Bliss had accepted a contribution
from Mr. Rogers, alleging as his justi
fication that this was not money from
the” Standard Oil Company, but from
Mr. Rogers personally, Mr. Rogers be
ing an old friend and party associate
of his.”
Colonel Roosevelt here quotes a
lengthy extract from an interview with
Mr. Bliss, on the Harriman-Roosevelt
controversy, published in The New
York Herald on December 2, 1911, pur
porting to have been given by Mr. Bliss
a few months before his death. He
follows this with a tribute to Mr,
Bliss for his services to the party in
“irksome, disagreeable and laborious
tasks which bring no rewards, but
which it is entirely indispensible to
have done,” and warmly defends his
character. He then continues:
What Archbold's Testimony Means.
"Mr. Archbold's testimony can only
mean that Mr. Archbold had made his
contribution in the hope of getting
some special consideration to which,
as a matter of fact, he was not en
titled; that he believed that if he had
made the extra contribution he would
(lave had this special consideration,
and that Mr. Bliss thought so, too.
"Mr. Penrose says that he, a mem
ber of the national Republican commit
tee and a United States senator, advised
Mr. Archbold that it would be a mis
take for the Standard oil Company not
to contribute, and if they did not make
liberal contributions they might incur
hostility in certain quarters. Surely,
no more extraordinary testimony was
ever submitted by a United States sen
ator under the impression that he was
testifying in his own behalf. It em
bodies a fai worse accusation against
him than I ever should have dreamed
of making.
“This language is precisely the lan
guage that might be used by a black
mailing police officer in a big city in
advising the keeper of a law-breaking
liquor saloon, or a gambling house, to
contribute liberally because otherwise
he might incur hostility in certain
quarters. If this language were proved
against the policeman, he would be
removed from the police force, and as
it is admitted by the senator, he should
be removed from the senate.
About Connection With G. W. Perkins.
“In concluding, 1 want to say a word
about my connection with Mr. Per
kins. 1 have known him about four
teen years. I have never in my life,
directly or indirectly, asked him for;
a contribution, or asked him to as
sist me in any shape or wav. He has
always assisted me and backed me up
of his own accord. Until after the
statement of Mr. Penrose, in the senate
I never asked him if he had ever con
tributed to my campaign fund at any
time, although 1 was morally certain
that he had done so.
“During the past fourteen years, as
far as 1 remember, he ha.- but twice
spoken to me of any matters in which
he was interested. The first time
was at the very beginning of our
acquaintance, when I was governor of
New York. He then came to Albany
and protested against my signing a
certain bill for the limitation of the
aggregate amount of insurance that an
insurance company could assume. Aft
er investigation, I came to the con
clusion that his protest was just, and
refused to sanction the bill.
“On the other occasion he came to

Henry Taft Has No
Fears of Colonel
PARIS, Sept. 2. —In an interview here
today, Henry W. Taft, of New York,
brother of President Taft, declared that
he feels absolutely no fears for the Re
publican party from Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt.
Mr. Taft, who is touring Europe,
expressed his personal belief that his
brother will be re-elet tMI president, al
though he thinks Woodrow Wilson will
give him the closest’race of all the
presidential nominees.
Discussing American affairs in gen
eral, Mr. Taft defended the president's
course in signing the Panama canal ad

government objected, saying that it
would entail no hardship on British
shipping.
me to ask that I consider the report
of the bureau of corporations as well
as that ofs the attorney general be
fore taking final action in the har
vester trust matter. On both occa
sions he came to me simply as hun
dreds of other men of every descrip
tion have come to me.
“1 have myself but once asked Mr.
Perkins for any favor, and that was
for a favor to the public, when I ap
pointed him chairman of the Palisades
park some twelve or thirteen years
ago, while 1 was governor of New
York.
New Party to Publish Statement.
“The provisional committee will
speedily make public the statement
of the moneys that were collet ted
anti spent in tile primary campaign
last spring. Since the national Pro
gressive convention the New York com
mittee, as Judge Hotchkiss informs
me, has spent about $9,000 with which
the entire state has been organized.
"It is no longer legal to accept con
tributions from corporations.
"Aside from this matter of corpora
tions, my attitude as to contributions
now is precisely whqt my attitude
was in 1904, and will not be changed.
1 do not draw the line against siie
and never shall. The conditions I
impose are first that the contribu
tions shall be received without any
kind of promise or obligation, expressed
or implied; and second, that the
money shall be spent in honest fashion
■and only for legitimate expenses.
"I have no sympathy with the pro
posals to limit the contributions to
$5,000. or SIO,OOO, or any other sum. If
the virtue of a party is so frail that
it will weaken if the contribution is
over SIO,OOO. it will also weaken if it
is under SIO,OOO. It is morally as bad
to solicit or accept $lO for improper
reasons as SIO,OOO.
"To limit contributions to SIO,OOO
will be no hardship to a reactionary
cause, a cause championed by the enor
mous majority of the men who can
each contribute to such a sum. But
we who fight for the cause of the peo
ple, as a whole, have only a few sup
porters among the very rich. These
few supporters are. from the nature
of the ease, idealists, men of the kind
who. when their interests are aroused,
give generously and without thought
of personal return.
"I welcome their contributions when
made in such a spirit; I am honored
by their support, and receive it as
freely and gladly as it is given.
“I shall make precisely the same
return to all who contribute and that
return is to serve the whole peopiV
by striving for social and industrial
justice."

POPULAR ISSUES
IN PERIL-BOURNE
Senator Appeals to People to
Prevent Emasculating Initia
tive and Referendum.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 2.—Senator
Jonathan Bourne, Jr., president of the
National Progressive league, today is
sued an appeal to popular government
advocates to guard against the emas
culation of the initiative and referen
dum. He said:
“Three general expedients are re
sorted to to defeat the initiative and
referendum—first, by making the re
quired percentage of petitioners so high
as practically to prevent the filing of
petitions for either the initiative or ref
endum; second, by exempting from the
referendum all measures that bear the
mere declaration of the legislature that
an emergency exists; third, by requir
ing that measures submitted to the
vote of the people under the initiative
shall not become effective until ratified
by an affirmative vote of all the votes
cast at the election.
“Experience has demonstrated that
the Initiative and referendum powers
are practically nullified if the number
of required signers to petitions ba ma
terially greater than ten per cent for
the initiative or five per cent for the
referendum. Experience also shows
that some of the most meritorious
measures that have been adopted under
the initiative would have failed of
adoption if the constitution had re
quired an affirmative majority of all the
votes cast at the election. Each meas
ure should stand or fall according to
the majority of votes cast thereon.
“In the campaign which is now pro
ceeding in many states for the election
of state legislators, who will be called
upon to vote for the submission of ini
tiative and referendum amendments, the
friends of popular government should
not be deceived, but should insist on
the submission of such amendments In
practical form.”
