ms NOT PUT OIL LETTERS
BEFORE LOBBY PROBERS
LOS ANGELES, Aur. 14.—The following is n letter from Mr.
William Randolph Hearst in reply to a letter sent to him by Con
gressman Clyde H. Tavenner asking Mr. Hearst to put the Stand
ard Oil letters before the Garrett lobby investigation committee
in the House of Representatives:
Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 5, 1913.
Hon. Clyde II. Tavenner, House of Representatives, Washing
ton, D. C.
My Dear Sir:
Did you write me a letter and make the letter public, ask
ing me to submit all the Standard (til letters that I have in
my possession to the House committee now investigating the
charges of lobbying made by a certain Mulhall 1
I would be very glad to submit again to the Congressional
committee or to any responsible body the Standard Oil let
ters which I have already submitted many times to the public
and to bodies which more or less accurately and sincerely
represent the public.
I would prefer, however, not to submit, these Standard
Oil letters in connection with the Mulhall letters and charges
for the simple reason that the Standard Oil letters are very
important to the nation, very serious in their incriminations
and wholly authoritative and genuine, while the Mulhall let
ters and documentary evidence have never appeared to me
especially important or serious or genuine.
The Mulhall letters and charges were offered to one of my
magazines, the one that published the Standard Oil letters, but
the editors of the magazine with my approval declined to pur
chase or publish the Mulhall documents and confession. The
reason we did not purchase the Mulhall letters was not at all
because of the price. That question was not even considered.
The reason we failed to purchase them was because we
had not full confidence in them. We felt thatthe more or less
innocent or at least moderate wording of the documents did
not justify the extravagant allegations on which Mulhall based
the documents, and we felt if that any part of Mulhall’s evi
dence or testimony was untrue that all of it was open to sus
picion.
Furthermore, our magazine had just performed what we
had every right and reason to believe a great public service.
We had performed this service with the utmost sincerity and
consciousness and with the most scrupulous care.
We had exposed the corrupting influence of privilege
seeking corporations in polities. We had revealed the con
nection between these corrupt corporations and certain im
portant public officials who were supposed to represent the
people in office, but who in reality, prostituted their offices to
serve the illegitimate interests of criminal trusts.
The editors of the magazine were agreed that we did not
wish to diminish or discredit the effect of these genuine reve
lations by the publication of Mulhall’s Lct.tors, which seemed
to us less serious and sincere.
The Standard Oil letters can not ho denied, because there
always have been additional documents to disprove every de
nial made to confuse and confound every falsifier.
We did not wish our magazine to associate a great, public
service and a vital political exposure like this with an extrava
gant series of exaggerated accusations, as the Mulhall confes
sions appeared to us to be, and I would rather not associate
the genuine with the questionable at your Congressional in
vestigation.
Of course, I am expressing only my preference. T can
control the course of my magazine, but l do not seek to control
or Influence the action of your committee. I shall always be
ready to submit to any such committee any such information
I have which can be considered of public interest or impor
tance.
Very sincerely yours,
WILLIAM RANDOLPH 1IEARST.

Aid Candidacy, He Says.
Ralph O. Cochran, member of the
Georgia Legislature and candidate for
United States Senator, in a stat -
ment issued Thursday made denial of
the accusations heueclared appeared
in a morning newspaper concerning
his attitude toward school appropria
tions and tax equalization.
"The feature that I regret,” the
statement declares, "is the insinuation
that I cast my votes this way on ac
count of my candidacy for the United
States Senate. I wish to say that I
would have voted just as I have done.
"The assertion that I opposed
equalization in all the forms in which
it has been presented is not true. I
have uniformly been opposed to the
State board and spy system that has
become a part of this »aw. And when
I voted for a 7 per cent reduction on
the appropriations for the University
of Georgia and the Technological
School, my vote was for the same re
duction in the common school fund of
the State as well. I did not discrimi
nate.
"The hue and cry has been to get
the State out of debt, and it occurred
to me that it would be wise to concur
in the Senate amendments and hold
the appropriations down for the next
two years."
