Unsavory Reputation Ties to Carter as Republican Leader
Thomas H. Carter, chosen by the Republican National Committee for its chairman last Saturday, is described by Burlington merchants as having a poor reputation during his years there. He later moved to Montana, then to Iowa and Nebraska, where he acted as principal associate of R. T. Root, a controversial book publisher, and oversaw sales of a farmers mortgage-backed title "Foot Prints of Time." The description, sourced from the Gazette, notes disputed business methods and financial practices tied to Carter’s network.
