Presidents letter over Panama Canal scandal talk fades
The January 2 1909 item reports President Roosevelt replying to William Dudley Foulke Indiana after Foulke questioned alleged false statements about the transfer of the Panama Canal from France to the United States. Delavan Smith editor of the Indianapolis News claimed conspiracies involving Douglas Robinson and Charles Taft. Roosevelt defends Smith as sole liable for alleged falsehoods and denies Robinson Taft involvement. The piece also notes public interest and calls for congressional investigations, plus reminders of Roosevelt’s ties to Foulke and a return to congressional sessions with cross party banter.
