"Was any contribution made by the
Standard Oil company?"

result of a talk with, Colonel Roosevelt
(He related his talk aflollows:
"I said to Colonel Roosevelt, 'Here's
that Harriman story again. Someone
ought to tell the truth about that' Colo
nel Roosevelt told me he felt rather sore
that neither Cortelyou nor BHss,had told
what they-knew about It Then I told
him that I knew all about the matter
and would be willing to tell about It As
a result I wrote that letter."
The letter gave . an account of B. B.
Odell's getting the late Mr. Bliss to raise
$240,000, which was turned over to the
Js'ew York state eommittee. Mr. Sheldon
said the records of Mr. Bliss showed that
ithe fund of $240,000 had been paid directly

paid by him direct to the state commit
tee." ........

not entered Into the funds collected for
and spent by the republican national com-
jwmittee on the Roosevelt national 1904 cam
paign.

: ducting the national campaign?" sug
gested Senator Paynter.
"That is right," said the witness.
Mr. Sheldon could recall no contribu
tion by Mr. Havemeyer or, by "the sugar
trust"
So Ref and to Archbold.
."Was there any entry in this account
showing a refund to the Standard Oil
