Bonaparte Replies To Tillman Over Oregon Grants
Attorney General Bonaparte issues a statement rebutting Senator Tillman's charge that the Oregon and California land grants were prepared by the attorney general and that Tillman sought to buy timber lands. He cites a 1908 suit to forfeit railroad lands and notes Tillman's claim of interest arose from attempts to purchase timber lands with aid from law and colleagues.
