Roosevelt says he fully answered all questions on campaign funds
Oyster Bay reports Colonel Roosevelt declares he has refuted all testimony against him before the senate committee on campaign contributions. He explains he has merely denied receiving more money from corporations, noting he did not deny such contributions if proven proper. He cites letters to Cortelyou and Penrose and discusses Harriman and Parker charges from 1904 and 1906, asserting no improper influence and reiterating his lack of direct requests for contributions.
