TVhn I accepted the employment of the
Standard Oil Company in 1830 It was not fore
seen by me and probably not by anybody else,
that It would become the object of .Federal
legislation or of Federal prosecution or action
of any kind and that employment was when
the company decided to reorganize under the
law of New Jersey, which was before any
thing of that nature occurred.
That I was not in the employment of the
company after the service I have mentioned

not afterward Influence me to favor the com

Proof Not Standard Oil Man.
For weeks prior to the date of these
letters the newspapers were tilled with an
nouncements threatening the company with
very serious litigation and wit h criminal
prosecutions in the courts of Ohio. It was
in view of these threatened proceedings that
the company again sought to employ me;
surely an idle and unnecessary perform
ance if already employed, and these letters
further show that I declined sut-h employ
ment, among other reasons, becausf I could
not accept the same consistently with my
re'ations to the public service. The condi
tion had greatly changed since my former
mployment, largely because of the prosecu
tion against the company under the Elkina
law. which I had helped to frame: further
more, the employment proposed was differ
ent tn its character from that which I had
previously accepted. That Is to say. In
stead of being an employment, as the for
mer employment was, to aid the company
In complying with the orders of the court
and the statutes of the state, it was to be
an employment to resist suits and prose
cutions Instituted by the state.
I submit that these proofs should be suf
ficient to show to any fair and unpreju
ilu'ed mind that I was never employed ex-
ept prior to l!'l. and that my employment
then had no relation to anything that was
In conflict with my public duties, but had
reference solely to the reorganization of the
company and its Ohio affairs, with which
Congress had nothing whatever to do.
Letter He Cannot Find.
Mr. Hearst, to create a different belief,
read at J-niisville the following letter;

Mr. Hearst accompanied the reading of
these two letters, together w ith comments
calculated, if not Intended, to convey the
impresion that the one had reference to
the other and that they const i tut ed evi
dence that it was for money received try
ing to influence legislation In accordance
w:th the views of Mr. Arviiboid. The dates
of the two letters show that the money
was sent almost a month prior to the letter
About the Jonea bill.

but I have already shown in a former atate
ment that the certificate of deposit waa
sent on account of the proposed purchase
of the Ohto State Journal, and that the
proposition to purchase being abandoned, it
was returned on the 4th day of February,
only a week after It was received.
Says Hearst Misrepresents..
Mr. Foraker here Introduces letters to
verify his statement as to the newspaper
proposal He continues:
If Mr. Hearst had read these accom
panying letters, particularly that from Mr.
Archbold of January 21, my letter of Feb
ruary 4. returning the money, he would
have known that the certificate of deposit
had no reference whatever to the Jones bill
or any other b.111.
Mr. Hearst states In his speech at Co
lumbus that the letters had been furnished
to him by a 'gentleman." whose name he
vmulrl not give for fear the Standard Oil
Company might persecute him. He repre
sents the gentleman did not find these miss
ing letters. Perhaps, if he found them he
did not furnish them to Mr. Hearst. In
any event, perhaps the omission to read
them waa made because, if read, they
would have defeated the object to be ac
complished. However that may be. this cor
respondence surely and conclusively dis
poses of that matter.
Tell About Price's BUI.
Tntll now, I have not made any state
ment about the letter Mr. Hearst read at
Columbus from Mr. Archbold to me dated
March 9. 1000, calling my attention to two
bills Introduced In the Ohio Legislature by
Mr. price. I have delayed saying anything
about this letter because, having no recol
lection on the subject 1 have been trying
FO RAKER'S DEFENSE.
No secret that he was employed by

against Standard Oil trust.

lawyers always free to take any em
ployment which did not conflict with

Was offered retainer by Archbold
after 1901 and such employment did
not Influence action on legislation, an
shown by his part In enacting anti
rebate law in 1903, under which $20,
240,000 fine imposed.
Was offered retainer by Archbold
in Ohio suits In 106 and declined,
saying he had retired from practice
of law and would interfere with
duties In Congress.
Cannot And letter from Archbold,
read by Hearst, asking him to oppose

he find answer, and has no recollec

Says $50,000 draft sent by Arch

purchase of Ohio State Journal and
gives letters verifying this statement
and fact money repaid. Draft bad no

Can find no trace of Archbold's

to ascertain if I received the letter and
what 1 did with It or did on account of it.
I cannot find any trace of such a letter in
my files or of any answer In my letter
book. I have not been able to communicate
with Mr. Price, who introduced the bill
mentioned, but he has stated In a public
Interview that he abandoned the bill be
cause Governor Nash told him that Senator
Banna and I were both opposed to the
measures, and feared It might damage
President McKlnley's Interest in the cam
paign on which we were then entered, if
the bills should be insisted upon. Mr. Price's
statement suggests to my mind that in all
probability I reerred the letter to Governor
Nash. In any event, I know that I took no
action with resepect to It or any bill pend
ing in the Ohio Legislature at that time or
any other time since I became a member of
the Senate, March 4, 1897. In no instance
since that date have I sought to Influence
any legislator on any subject except by
argument in the open.
No Pay for Action as Senator.

not recall receiving any letter from him.
exoopt the one relating to the Jones bill,
and that had no reference to pending bills
or to anything with which I had any of
ficial duty to perform. In any event, he
never addressed me on any subject since
my employment, except only as any other

have done, and there was never a sugges

was under the slightest obligation to sup

In behalf of that company; nor was there
evr a suggestion by anybody that I should
receive any compensation or reward of anv
kind whatsoever on that account. And
what is true in this respect as to the
Standard Oil Company is also and equally
true as to other trusts, corporation or per

t hut can be produced supporting any such
charge that cannot be as fully and satis
factorily explained as has been explained
the letter about the Jones bill and the
proposed purchase of the Ohio State Jour
nal. This brings me to Mr. Taft's letter and
what the President has said in his com
ments on the same.
Story of Offer to Taft,
If the President, in publishing It, had
not withheld the name of the man to
whom it waa writ ton, it might be easier
for me to show that I am not responsible
for that man's action. The man himself
would have refuted the impression the
President apparently seeks to create, that
he wrote either at my. instance or in my
interest. 1 have not at any time or in
any way sought Mr. Taft's help for re-ejj
When Mr. Taft's candidacy for the
Presidency was first announced. I was sur
prised to learn from the newspapers that
the programme of those having it in charge
involved my "elimination" from public life.
An open declaration of war, such as the
"elimination" proposed Involved, naturally
brought controversy and strife when there
should have been only peace. Finally. Mr.
"ox announced a harmony proposition Taft
for President. Harris for Governor and me
for Senator. He did that on his own mo
tion; not only was there not a request, but
contrary to my desire... Nevertheless, 1 pub
licly announced that, if it expressed the
wish of the Republicans, no one, would
support Taft more than I.
Taft's Declaration of Mar.
Thereupon. Mr. Burton gave out an In
terview in which he stated that Mr. Taft
would not accept from the Republicans of
Ohio any indorsement for the Presidency
if coupled with an indorsement of me
for the fen a tors hi p. I am repeating from
memory and do not expect to give his ex
act language, but I know I am accurately
stating the effect of it. This appeared to
be such a gross public insult and so un
called for that hostilities were immed
iately resumed.
They continued until Mr. Taft was nom
inated, then, so far as 1 was concerned,
they stopped Instantly and I supposed from
the character of Mr. Taft's response to my
note of congratulation- that they stopped on
his part; at least. I was so assured by his
friends and managers, and in that con
nection I was also assured that Mr. Burton
hud no authority to give out his offensive
interview.
Much more of the same character might
be mentioned, but I have said enough to
show that Mr. Taft's letter performs the
cry Important office of exonerating Mr.
U art on from -Ah-bargs -cf having apokes
without authority and flies responsibility
for bis offensive utterances wnere xt oo
longs. Grounds of Taft's Opposition.
Now as to the letter Itself. It gives as the
reason for Judge Taft's hostile attitude
that
"He T) has opposed the vital policies
and principles of the Administration and In
his opposition has seised upon and magnified
an Important but Incidental Tnatter to em
barrass the Administration, using in this
without scruple a blind prejudice to accom
plish his main purpose. It Is really a
question of political principle. In respect
to this the Legislature of Ohio expressed
what I believe to be the sentiment of the
people of Ohio In a resolution asking the
Senators to support the rate blH.
"Senator Foraker declined to follow this
resolution. When the issue is whether he
shall be returned, it must be determined if
this Is to be a, representative form of gov
ernment, not by the question whether he
has followed his conscience but by the
question whether he really represents the
principles that his constituents desire sup
ported and put into practice."
This quotation shows that the grounds for
Mr. Taft's opposition to me were twofold;
tbs rate bill and the Brownsville matter.
Why He Opposed Rate Bill.
As to the rate bill, Mr. Taft says of me.
in his letter enumerating the reasons why
he could not accept an Indorsement for the
Presidency If coupled with an indorsement
of me for Senator:
"He has opposed the vital policies and
principles of the Administration," and adds
as another reason that I would not vote
for the rate bill, although requested to do
so by the Ohio Legislature.
Mr. Taft knew I had never opposed the
policy of supervising and regulating the
railroad and interstate carriers. He knew
that my opposition to the rate bill was not
because I was opposed to the policy of
regulation and supervision, but only to
some few methods proposed by that meas
ure. For instance, he knew that my ob
jection was confined to certain clauses,
among them the ratemaking clause and the
commodities clause.
This bill contained some provisions, on
account of which I disliked to vote against
It and so stated in the .Senate, but it con
tained others that seemed to me so vicious
that I could not doubt that it would bring
upon us not only panic, idleness, suffering
and distress, but still other evils that did
not then seem to be generally foreseen,
f siirdl cmfw vbgk crafw vbgk crofw shr
Bad Kffects of Rate Law.
The Senator maintained that the pro
vision of the bill turning the rate
making power over to a Commission has
impaired confidence in railroads so
seriously as to stop all railroad construc
tion and do such injury to all kinds of
business that it will require a long time
for the country to recover. Billions of
dollars have been lost on account of
shrinkage of values of all kinds of
securities and thousands of men rendered
idle In every section of the union.
Another result of the rate bill, he
said, has been the abolition of low
through rates for our foreign com
merce, causing transcontinental lines
to abandon competition for that busi
ness and forcing the American llag
off the Pacific Ocean.
Drive Out All Standard Men.
But what manner of man is Judge Taft,
anvhow? I have known him for a great
many years, and I thought intimately, and
yet at times I feel as though I did not
know him at all.
July 20, 1H07. when he wrote the letter
the President published, he was so devoted
to the trust-smashing policies of the ad
ministration that he could not consent to
he made President if. as a part of the same
movement, I waa to be honored with a
re-election to the Senate, because of ray
opposition to that special feature of "my
policies," and now, since the Standard OH
Company matter, there Is manifested tho
most unusual Indignation.
Apparently every man who has any re
lation to the company Is to be driven out
of public life. If so, I shall probably have
a great deal of company.
Taft and Standard Lawyers.
Onlv one month ago, when Mr. Taft vis
ited Middle Bass and Toledo, he was the
truest of C. T. Lewis, of the law firm of
Dovle & Lewis, who have been the at
torneys of the Standard for many years,
standing next in rank in that relation to
Virgil B. Kline, and when Mr. Taft had
occasion to pass back and forth between
Middle Bass and Toledo, where I had the
pleasure of meeting him, he traveled on
the yacht of Mr. Richardson, a prominent
magnate of the Glass Trust, and while he
doubtless paid his fare, at least the papers
so announced, when traveling ro
Springs to Toledo on his way to Middle
Bass, vet nevertheless he rode In the pri
vate car of one of the officers of the road
of which also Doyle & Lewis are attorneys
WThat a series of unpardonable crimes.
. There did not seem to be any such
righteous dislike of these Standard OU and
other trust representatives rankling in the
bosom of Mr. Taft on the ocasions to which
I refer. On the contrary, he acted like a
good, square, sensible, honest-minded man,
who really enjoyed the company he was
keeping and the entertainment he was re
ceiving and who recognized, as the late
Senator Hanna was accustomed to say, that
there were "good trusts as well as tad
ones." and even decent people In the em
ployment of the Standard Oil Company as
well as objectionable people, and all that
is to his credit.
Recommended Standard Judge.
It is also highly to his credit that when,
three years ago, the President bad occasion
to appoint a United States District Judge
for tiie Northern district of Ohio, Mr. Taft,
knowing the abilities and high character
of John H. Doyle, did not hesitate to rec
ommend him to the President in strong
language for appointment to that Judgeship.
The Standard OH relation to Judge Doyle,
then well known to Mr. Taft. did not pre
vent him from recognizing his high char
acter and general fitness for such a sacred
trust, and I happen to know, as did Mr.
Justice Moody, who was then Attorney
General, that the President, on the recom
mendation of Jude Taft, was Intending
to appoint Judge Doyle and would have
done so. no doubt, except for reasons which
did not reflect on Judge Doyle, he finally
appointed Judge Robert W. laylor.
Standard Was In Good Repute.
But If the Standard Oil Company was in
good enough -repute only three years ago
to warrant Judge Taft in recommending
Judge Doyle and president Roosevelt In
appointing him to a judgeship, much more
was It in sufficiently good repute, six or
seven years earlier, before any of the recent
virulent attacks were made on it, to war
rant me in accepting employment of the
character mentioned.
What a pity It Is that Judge Taft's let
ter was not allowed to continue its slumber
until after the election.
Action on Brownsville Case.
Replying to the charge of Mr. Taft
that the Senator's attitude in the
Brownsville matter waa for the pur
pose of embarrassing tlie administra
tion by magnifying an unimportant
matter to promote race prejudice, Mr.
Foraker says:
In this whole matter I had no revenges
to seek or personal ends to serve, but was
anxious to soe that common Justice was
done to tho representatives of a noble and
loyal race, every one of whom la by nature
a Republican. Tho colored voters are known
to be more or less displeased with the action
of the Republican party in not passing
some relief measure for those scldiers and
many of them have signified a purpose to
vote against Judge Taft because of his
official relation to the matter.
Mr. Foraker adds that, because of Mr.
Taft's characterization of the "negroes
chief grievance' as an 'Incidental and un
important matter," no self-respecting
negro can vote for him without feeling
that he is making great sacrifice.
"With the exception of the Brownsville
matter, the rate bill and Joint statehood
for New Mexico and Arizona. Mr. Foraker
says that he has supported the Roose
velt administration and has been in
charge of many of lus measures on the
"floor of the Senate. In Justification of
his position in opposing the Joint state
hood bill he mentions the fact that the
Republican National platform declares for
separate statehood for Arizona and New
Mexico.
Ridicule Roosevelt's Opinion.
The Senator ridicules the President's
statement that the panic of last October
was precipitated by a lot of rich men In
Wall street who wanted to bankrupt
themselves and the whole country that
they might discredit Mr. Roosevelt, and
says it is more preposterous even than
the story that the same men raised a
fund of $5,000,000 with which to prevent
President Roosevelt from naming his suc
cessor. Mr. Foraker says there is no founda
tion, for such a charge.
Jn conclusion he says:

POLICE IN CLOSE CONTEST
HOLD REVOLVER. SHOOT WITH
. CTXCIXXATI FORCE.
Local Team, TTnder Captain Moore,
Only Seven Points Behind
Crack Shots of Country.
The police departments of Portland and
Cincinnati; O., held a shooting: match
yesterday with revolvers. Cincinnati -won
the competition by the narrow margin of
seven points in a possible score of 2000.
Cincinnati's score was 1410 while Portland
made a most excellent showing with a
score of 1403. The teams shot In their re
spective cities and the scores were ex
changed by telejrraph last night. The tar
gets will be exchanged later by mail.
The local team was organized by Cap
tain Moore of the first night reilef. and
besides himself included Serjeant Endl
eott and Patrolmen Graves, Craddock,
Blackman, Richards, Arnold, Humphrey,
Hyde and Hill. The Cincinnati team is
the crack team of the country, having de
feated Chicago, St. Louis, New York,
Kansas City and San Francisco. There
fore, the close score made indicates that
Portland's police department has some of
the best revolver shots to be found in the
police service of the United States. In
view of the fact that the Portland depart
ment had never entered upon such a com
petition before and has had little or no
practice for such an event its performance
Is especially creditable. The Cincinnati
team has an up-to-date shooting gallery
In its central station which 1s available
to the members of the department at all
times for practice. The local team is re
quired to go outside the city limits to do
Its practicing.
"The local team shot yesterday at the
Columbia Slough between 10 A. M. and
noon. Patrolman Galbraith acted as
scorekeeper and the umpires of the match
were connected with local dealers in
sporting goods. The conditions of the
match were: Twenty shots for each man
at a two and three-quarter-inch target,
distance, 60 feet. One of the provisions
was that the trigger pull was to be not
less than four pounds, and as nearly all
of the revolvers on Captain Moore's team
registered only three and one-half pounds
to the trigger pull they had to be altered
the day before the contest, thus placing
the competitors at a distinct disadvantage.
