Democratic Chairman Says
Newspaper Version of Roose
velt Charges Aren't True.
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Sept. 22. Norman
E. Mack, chairman of the National
Democratic committee, 'has addressed
a telegram to President Roosevelt in
which he denies flatly the statements
in a reported interview between Ti
mothy L. Woodruff, chairman of the
Republican state committee, and
Pres. Roosevelt as printed in a local
paper today In which the president Is
credited with saying that it is sig
nificant that $300,000 had beon
found in the treasury of tho Demo
cratic party after Judge Parker had
declared throughout tho last Na
tional campaign that tho party's
treasury was receiving nothing from
the corporations and that It was
further announced at the time of
election 4hat the treasury was empty.
The president said he thought It
queer that such a sum should turn
up after Mr. Haskell was appointed
treasurer of tho Democratic national
committee.
Mr. Woodruff telegraphed the
president that if ho was quoted cor
rectly be probably had in mind tho
story published in the New York
Amorlcan that the Democratic na
tional committee had received from
former Chairman Taggart ?300,000
alleged to have been left over from
the 1904 campaign. Mr. Mack said
there is not one word of truth In tho
Btory and that he has not received
one cent from any one connected with
the last campaign.

Democratic Candidate Wants
. President to Prove W. R.
Hearst Charges.
(By Associated Press.)
DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 22. W. J.
Bryan this afternoon addressed a
letter to President Roosevelt in re
ply to the president's statement is
sued yesterday1 in which the presi
dent appeals for support of W. H.
Taft. The letter is the outcome of
the Hearst-Foraker controversy, and
Roosevelt declares the defeat of Taft
will bring "lasting satisfaction to but
one set of men, namely those men
who, as shown in the correspondence
published by W. R. Hearst, were be
hind Mr. Foraker, the opponent of
Taft within his own party and who
are now behind Governor Haskell,
and his associates, the opponents of
Taft In the opponent party."
Bryan goes Into the charges made
against Governor Haskell of Okla
homa, that he was once in the em
ploy of the Standard Oil Company
and which charge Bryan accuses
Roosevelt of endorsing. Mr. Bryan's
letter continues: "Your charge is so
serious that I cannot allow it to go
unnoticed. Governor Haskell has
denied that he ever was employed by
the Standard Oil Company and Gov
ernor Haskell demands an Investiga
tion now. I agree with you that if
Haskell is guilty as charged, he is
unfit, to be connected with the Demo
cratic national. committee and I am
sure you agree with me that if he is
innocent, he deserves to be exonerat
ed on the more damaging accusa
tion." Bryan says that as Haskell's chair
manship of the committee on resolu
tions at Denver and as treasurer of
I the national committee has his ap
proval, he demands an immediate in
vestigation of the charges endorsed
by the President of the United States.
He says further, "Your high posi
tion as well as your sense of justice
would prevent your giving sanction
and circulation to such charges with
out proof. I respectfully request
therefore that you furnish such
proof which you have in your posses
sion. If you have no proof, I re
quest you to Indicate a method by
which the truth may be ascertained."
Bryan agrees without consulting
Haskell that he will appear before
any inquisitorial body.
