Time and again Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, the third term party’s candidate for president of the United States, has stated tliat the famous $240,000 raised by the late E. H. Harriman in the fall of 1904 was for use in the New York state campaign. He also declared most positively a few weeks ago that he had ordered Chairman Cortelyou of the Republican national committee, not to accept afiy money from the Standard Oil company in that campaign and to return it if any had been accepted. On Monday, Sept 30, C. C. Tegethoff, secretary to the late E. H. Harriman, produced the above receipt of the Republican national committee, signed by Treasurer Cornelius N. Bliss, for Mr. Harriman’s individual contribution of $50,000 to this fund, proving conclusively that it was used in behalf of Mr. Roosevelt’s candidacy. The day following John D. Archbold, president of the Standard Oil company, produced the documentary proof that his company did give SIOO,OOO to Roosevelt’s campaign fund and that it never was returned.
