prosecution is not tolerable under
freo institutions. Much more to the
point is tho attitude of tho present
administration, which has given it to
be understood that prosecutions of
all and sundry will be maintained
in accordance with the judgment of
tho supremo court in the erent cnaos
under the Sherman statute now
ponding."
The tobacco cases wore argued be
fore the supreme court for three
days beginning January 4, 1910. The
Standard Oil case was argued for
three days becinnlne Mnrnh 1 k 1 qi n
The usual time of four hours a day
ior uiree successive days was al
lowed in each case because of its
great importance and the number of
eminent lawyers engaged on both
sides of the controversy. The death
of Justice Brewer, who sat on tho
bench during tho arguments, made it
impossible or inexpedient for the
court to come to a decision in either
case and a rehearing of both causes
was announced.
The tWO Cases were rnhirnnrl frt
the docket subject to call and will
come up during the week beginning nounced;
Monday, November 14, '1910. A date
Will then be set for hearing argu
ments, sso prediction can bo made
as to the precise time when tho re
hearing will be had, but it is expect
ed to come early in December, or be
thrown over until after the holiday
recess.
The Standard Oil case comes up
on appeal from the Eighth circuit,
where the government won its con
tention and the lower court issued a
decree of dissolution. The Standard
OH company took the appeal. Other
wise it must immediately have ceased
existence as a combination and re
turned us stock to the various com
ponent COncemB. AfllrmnMnn nf 1io
opinion ordered by the circuit court
will mean the dissolution of the oil
trust.
The supreme court will assemble
for the autumn term. Monday, Octo

trust suits may be made any time
between that date and November 14,
but neither case will be taken up.

liberty of addressing you on political
matters at this time, and to enclose
certain articles which I hope may bo
uj. aurvtce io you anu to our party,
I inclose two or throe copies of
Roosevelt's statement of November 4,
1904, which was published that day
and the. next day In all of the papers
in the country, and which you and I
and all know was a monstrous false
hood, but which seems to mo has
been strangely neglected by our peo
ple during later campaigns and espe
cially by our pa-pers."
(From Los Angeles Herald of No
vember 5, 1904; written November
4, 1904, and published all over the
United States on November 4 and
5, 1904.)
ROOSEVELT'S STATEMENT
Mr. Roosevelt's statement as given
out tonight is as follows:
wnite House, Washington, No-i
vemuer 4, 1904. Certain slanderous
accusations as to Mr. Cortelyou and
myself have beon repeated time and
again by Judge Parker, the candidate
of his party for the office of presi
dent. He neither has produced nor
can produce any proof of tho truth
of the chai-geB, yet he has not with
drawn them, and as his position gives
them wide currency I speak now lest
the silence of self-respect be misun
derstood. Mr. Parker's charges are
in effect that the president of the
United States and Mr. Cortelyou,
formerly Mr. Cleveland's executive
clerk, then Mr. McKinley's and my
secretary, then secretary of com
merce and labor and now chairman of
the republican national committee,
have been in a conspiracy to black
mail the corporations, Mr. Cor
telyou using his knowledge gained
while he was secretary of commerce
and labor to extort money from the
corporations, and I, the president,
having appointed him for this spe
cial purpose.
"That the graveness of these
charges lies in tho assertion that the
corporations have been blackmailed
into contributing and in the implica
tion, which in one or two of Mr. Par
ker's speeches has taken the form
practically of an assertion, that they
have been promised certain immuni
ties or favos, or have been assured
that they would receive some kind of
improper consideration in view of
their contributions.
"That contributions liavo been
made to the. republican committee, as
contributions have been made to the
democratic committee, is not the
questioif at issue. Mr. Parker's as
sertion is in effect that such con
tributions have been made for im
proper motives, either in consequence
of threats or in consequence of im
proper promises, direct or Indirect,
on the part of the recipients. Mr.
Parker knows best whether this is
true of the contributions to his cam
paign fund, which have come through
his trusted friends and advisers who
represent the great corporate inter
ests that stand behind him. But
there is not a particle of truth in the
statements as regards anything that
has come on in the management of
the republican campaign.
"Mr. Parker's accusations against
Mr. Cortelyou anfl myself are mon
strous. If true they would brand
both of us forever with infamy, and,
for inasmuch as they are false, heavy
must be the condemnnf.lnn of ua
man making them. I chose Mr. Cor
telyou as chairman of the national
committee after failing successively
to persuade Elihu Root, W. Murray
Crane and Cornelius N. Bliss to ac
cept the position. I chose him with
extreme reluctance because I could
ill spare him from the cabinet. But
I felt that he possessed the high in
tegrity which I demanded in the man
who was to manage my campaign I
am content that Mr. Parker or I
should be judged by the public on
the characters of the two men we
nlinan t-r vnnno.
Z i ""b" our campaign he
by tho character of his nominee
Thomas Taggart, and I by the cha?'
acter of Mr. Cortelvou.
The assertion that Mr. Cortelvou
had any knowledge gained while in
any official position whereby he was
enabled to secure and did secure any
contributions from any corporation is
a falsehood. -Tho assertion that there
has been any blackmail, direct or in
direct, by Mr. Cortelyou or by me is
a falsehood. The assertion that
there has been made in behalf of and
by authorization of Mr. Cortelyou or
by any one else any pledge or promise
or that there has been any under-
atuuumg as to iuture immunities or
beneilts in recognition of any con
tribution from any source is a wicked
falsehood,
"That Mr. Parker should desire to
avoid the discussion of principles I
can well understand, for it is but
the bare truth to say that he has not
attacked us on any matter of princi
ple or upon any action of the gov
ernment save after first mis-stating
that principle or that action. But I
can not understand how any honor
able man, a candidate for the highest
office in the gift of the people, can
take refuge, not merely in personali
ties, but in such base and unworthy
personalities.
"If I deemed It necessary to sup
port my flat denial by any evidence
I would ask all men of common sense
to ponder -well what has been done
in this campaign by Mr. Cortelyou
and to compare it with what Mr.
Parker himself did when he was man
aging Mr. Hill's campaign for gov
ernor, and to compare what has been
done as regards the great corpora
tions and money interests in this ad
ministration with what was done un
der the last democratic administra
tion while Mr. Olney was attorney
general; I would ask all honest men
Whether they seriously deem- it pos
sible that the course this adminis
tration has taken in every matter ,
from the Northern Securities suit to
the settlement of the anthracite coal
strike is compatible with any theory
of public behavior save the theory
of doing exact justice to all men
without fear and without favoritism ;
I would ask all honest-and fair-minded
men to remember that the agents
tnrongn whom I have worked are
Mr. Knox and Mr. Moody in the de
partment of justice; Mr. Cortelyou in
the department of commerce and la
bor, and Mr. Garfield in the bureau
of corporations, and that no such act
of infamy as Mr. Parker charges
could have been done without all
these men being parties to it.
"The statements made by Mr. Par
ker are unqualified and atrociously
false, As Mr. Cortelyou has said to.
me more than once during this cam
