Roosevelt Answers Critics On Corporate Contributions
President Roosevelt defends his stance against Parker's Albany charge that $150,000 in corporate funds flowed to the McKinley era committees. He cites his Nov 4 1904 reply and notes several corporations offered aid, with some declined or returned. He explains Harriman's role in New York politics and asserts no immunity was granted to corporate contributors. The discussion includes the Odell and Rockefeller connections and the 1904 campaign dynamics.
