Ilooaevelt fsee-nilngiy Sought Funds r the standard WiiHet Slaking Political Capital by I-noum-in It Roger Then Beused 8250,000 Wore. New Tork Herald. . Early In th .1904 - campaign th Standard , : Oil Company, as well as other trusts, railroads, banks and large corporatrdns, received a request to contribute . to th Republican na tional campaign fund.; , This request was ignored, Henry H. Rogers being responsible for its refusal. , Later, when the second ' call for campaign funds was mad, Mr. Cor telyou, chairman of the- Republican national committee, sent word to Mr. Rogers salting for an appointment at which the existing conditions could bo explained and the f uncial support of Standard Oil . secured. This appointment-was made by Mr. Rogers to -be kept at No. 2 f Broadway, the Standard Oil Building, and Mr. Cor telyou wag informed that both Mr. Rogers and John D. Archbold would be pleased to see him, Mr. Cortelyou, finding that Mr. Rogers was not t meet him alone but that Mr. Arch bold was also to be present, concluded it would be safer and more discreet not to go himself. Th appointment was kept by Cornelius N. Bliss, treasurer of, th national committee. At thi Interview Mr. Roger ac cused Mr. Roosevelt . ot lngratitud and. recalled many past favors from the Standard Oil Company to Re publican candidates and' campaign funds, Mr. Bliss admitted that Presi dent Roosevelt might have acted harshly toward the Standard OIL but aald that while Mr; Roosevelt's first terra was "constructive" his second terra would be "conservative." , . Relying oa these assurances, Mr. Borers and Mr. Archbold , made a contribution of 100,000. , This contribution coming to the knowledge of President Roosevelt,'' he wrote to Chairman Cortelyou a violent letter denouncing the Standard' Oil Company and directing- the return of the contribution. This' letter, is on Mr. cortelyou file, and a copy of It is kept by President Roosevelt for the purpose of making it public It ever the facts of this Standard Oil contribution became known. - Th contribution was not returned. Not one cent was paid back. The same was used, so far as Mr. Rogers and Mr. Archbold know, In ilk man ner with other contributions. latter in the campaign, when Presi dent Roosevelt became scared about ths result and about the time that ho aummoned Edward 11. Harrlman to Washington and induced Mr. Harrl man to. raise $2IO,00 for the cam paign fund, a further request was made of the Standard Oil people. . At th time of the. 1100.000 contri bution Mr. Bliss expressed "bis dis satisfaction with its siae and said that the amount should be several times aa great At the time of the third request the definite sum of $160,900 additional was asked for. ., In th meantime - Mr. Rogers had learned of Mr. Roosevelt's ' letter to Mr. Cortelyou and of the direction to return the first $100,000. He declined to give any more money and recalled the fact that th President's In struction to return th first contri bution had not been complied with and that Mr. Roosevelt must have known all. along that the $100,000 which he repudiated had . not only been accepted but used. . ' ' t r In view of this fact he declined to accede to the request for a further $250,000 or for any further sum, and denounced Mr. Roosevelt for seem ingly trying on the one hand to se cure contributions from the Standard Oil Company and on the other hand to make poUtical capital , by , de nouncing the company, . , ' Bis; gales of the Weed For Two Days.
