ARCHBOLD, PENROSE FALSIFIERS, SAYS T. R. ; 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. "I 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 that 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. T 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 time 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 statement. 5 are true, of course. Mr. Penrose is unfit to repr sent the. people in the 'United States senate: | and the testimony against him is direct, i 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 -Air. Archbold that with my con- nt or knowledge Mr. Bliss asked the Standard Oil Company for SIOO,OOO, or other sum, or received such sum from them, it 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, it was not merely done without my knowledge, but was done against my express di rection and prohibition and in spite of the fact that I 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 to 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, my private secretary, called Mr. Cortelyou up on the telephone." the letter continues, "and later I did so myself. He notified me first through Mr. Loeb and then directly that no _________ If You Are Buying a 1 russ - -m, ; "I 7* MBR- Remember that if it doesn't fit properly, it will not only rub and chafe and hurt, but it may result in a very dangerous condition.

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. I 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 Penro-e, 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 but 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, who 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: “ T have no alternative but to direct his removal. I 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 1 have no other alternative that I 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. Cmtehou Also, Colonel Roosevelt includes the letter he wrote to James S. Sherman, now vice presi dent, on October 8, 1906. 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. Hairiman'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. I are practical men,” as well as several other letters bearing closely on the issue. Colonel Roosevelt's letter to Senator Clappthen continues, as follows: “This letter was written in Mr. Har riman's lifetim -. and neither was con tradicted then, nor can be contradicted now, Mr. Loeb, my then private secre tary, heard my conversation with Mr. Harriman, 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 Mr. Bliss and Mr. Cortelyou‘to eet money for him and Mt Odell in their state cam paign.

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 request to Mr. Bliss and Mr. i Cortelyou over the telephone, as I did 1 myself later. ; : No Promises Made, Said Cortelyou. “In my letters to Mr. Cortelyou dur- i 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 M . 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 w itji Mr. Perkins, save . in connection 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 vefy 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 or 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 lie 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 I had supposed that he was anti corporation in his feeling, I was a little surprised at his turning up on behalf of the Standard Oil. “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 w hat you told me the other evening about the Stand ard Oil people; do remember that while any proposals they make will be con sidered 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 I 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 w ith 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. Lot 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 the course they wish to fol low, and then communicate direct with Mr. Kellogg, or the attorney general. Sincerely yours. Theodore Roosevelt.' Hearst Rendering Great Public Service. "Mr. Hearst has published much in- I 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 irn- ; 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 OH 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, I will at once try to look it up, and, if I can find it, will publish it. “I 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 I had know ledge 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 wit“h 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 lie would have had this special consideration, and that Mr. Bliss thought so, too. "Mr. Pentose 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 far 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, lie 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. I 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 way. 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 I was morally certain that he had done so. "During the past fourteen years, as far as 1 remember, he has 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 A guaranteed cure for KIDNEY or BLADDER Troubles, Diabetes, Eve.

Henry Taft Has No Fears of Colonel PARIS, Sept. 2.—ln 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-elected 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 ministration bill to which the English government objected, saying that it would entail no hardship on British shipping. me to ask that 1 consider the report of the bureau of corporations as well as that of 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. "I 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 I was governor of New York. New Party to Publish Statement. “The provisional committee will speedily make public the statement of the moneys that were collected and spent in the primary campaign last spring. Since the national Pro gressive convention the New r 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 what my attitude was in 1904, and will not be changed. 1 do not draw the line against size 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 I and only for legitimate expenses. I "I have ner 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 la over SIO,OOO. It will also weaken if it is under SIO,OOO. It is morally as bad to solicit or accept slo’ 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 case, 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 peopl* by striving for social and industrial justice.” ANDERSON?

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 be 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 tn practical form.” WRIGHT SAYS FLYING IS SAFER THAN MOTORING WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.
