Daly denies coercion and explains campaign support
Marcus Daly testifies before the Clark investigating committee in Washington denying any effort to buy votes or influence public officers in Montana. He details contributions to 1898 campaign, says he paid about $20,000 to $25,000, sent funds to Campbell’s office, and asserts he never funded or directed attempts to defeat Clark. He defends his actions as political and distant from personal animosity toward Clark.
