Washington, Sept. 28. At a late
hour last night President Hoosevelt
made public his answer to the letter
of W. J. Bryan, in which Bryan
I maintained that the democratic party
land platform were not getting a
(square deal In the campaign. The
! pi esldent's reply deals particularly
jcire or effective In the prosecution of
trusts.
j Among other things the president
j charges that Mr. Bryan has "not an

t nforcenieiit against trusts, for It en-
! dorses the polici. s of the administra
tion, and that Is what the administra-
! lion is doing.
Mr. Boosevelt compares the record
of lack of prosecutions of trusts un
i der the Cleveland administration with
ithe record of such prosecutions made
1 by his own. He defends his action In
I allowing further consolidation in the
I sieel trust, declaring that it gains no
fuither standing under the law there
I by.
He cites H. S. Priest, attorney for
the Winers-Pierce Oil company, as a
supporter uf P'ryan. and declares that
P!. i ce says that Wall street predicts
I Bryan's election.
Mr. Boosevelt then continues:
"You say that the trust magnates
know their own Interests and are sup
porting Judge Taft. So far as their
! Interests are simply Interests of the
business community, and especially of
jthe wage workers, I believe they will
I support Judge Taft. So far as they
have special interests which are to
them more Important than the geii
jeral business welfare, I believe they
j will support you. In my belief, your
'Success would be a calamity to the
i country both from the standpoint of
business (and especially of the Inter-I
jests of the wage workers) and from j
I the standpoint of morals." I

corporation of which Mr. E. H. Har
riman is the head on ecrtain points
j where 1 believe they have violated
the law. But when, in connection
with the breaking of the Sallon Sea
dam, one of the Harriman corpora
tions repaired the dam, I, last winter
did everything to have congress reim
burse Mr. Harriman for so much ol
the obligation as I felt ought to come
upon the United States.
"I would hold myself unfit to be
president If, because I prosecuted Mr.
Harriman where I thought he had
broken the law, I yet hesitated to do
him justice where I thought the facts
required that justice should be done
him. In exactly the same way I have
acted nnd shall net as regards the
steel corporation."
Hoosevelt declares he is in favor of
publicity for campaign contributions
after election, stating that had they
been published before Bryan would
probably have urged the Morgan, Car
negie nnd other contributions for
Hughes' election, and that of Mr.
Harriman for Roosevelt's as an ar
gument that neither candidate was fit
for the office to which he was later
elected.
He then reiterates the charges o(
Haskell, detailing from special re
ports the accusation that Haskell by
using dummies and "straw men" pro
cured valuable Oklahoma lands
through conspiracy and fraud.
That he has been guilty of perjury
and fraud as shown by the Ohio rec
ords. That Haskell's history Is a record
of unpaid Judgments.
That he was a lobbyist for fran
chises from various Oklahoma cities.
That he was a member of an anti
labor organization In Guthrie.
' The president then ngaln takes up
the charges regarding the Prnlrle Oil
i ompnny and concludes his letter with
the following arraignment: i
"I believe In radical reforms and
the movement for such reform can be
successful only if It frowns on the
demagogue as it does on the corrup
tlonlsts; if It shows Itself as far re
moved from government by a mob as
from government by a plutocracy. Of
all corruption the most far-reaching
for evil Is that which hides Itself be
hind a mask of furious demagoguery,
seeking to arouse and to pander to the
basest passions of manhood. No bet
ter exemplification of this type of
corruption could be found than In tho
cf:se of Mr. Haskell.
"You have uttered no word of con
demnation of Haskelllsm, as we thus
see it. That you consclensly sought
to bring It about I do not believe. That
It was the natural result of the ef
fort to apply in .practice your teach ings
I have no question.

During the visit of E. H. Harrhnan

urday President B. L. Wlnchell of the

present that If they didn't hurry tho
Hock Island would have the first din

Portland, Sept. 28. Fifty store and

were placed under arrest yesterday in
this city in an effort to put into ef
fect a blue law which has been rest
ing in undisturbed peace on the stat

keepers gave bail in the sum of $50

of stores until the constitutionality of
the entire act Is tested.
In addition to these 5o there will be

Kimball, S. D., Sept. 28. Former

when he made the declaration that
four years ago through a former as
sociate senator he was offered by the
republican national committee $10,-

Watson, the populist presidential can
didate. Senator Pettigrew's statement was
made this mornlrtg after a conference
with Colonel Bryan.
The senator declined at this time to
make public the name of the senator
through whom the offer was made,
but said he would do so later If the
republicans denied the charge.

throwing the blame upon the alleged
