Hearst Letters Roil Campaign as Foraker and Haskell Tied to Standard Oil
In a column by Leo, Hearst exposes letters from Archbold of Standard Oil, alleging Foraker's legal work for the company while in the Senate and Haskell resigning as Oklahoma treasurer amid party funds disclosures. Roosevelt's sharp replies to Bryan and Taft's standing are noted, with Bryan's campaign vigor and Roosevelt's rebuke shaping the race. James Lee credits Dr King’s New Discovery for recovery from lung illness.
