Morgan denial on financial influence in 1904 campaign
Senator Pomerene questioned J. P. Morgan Co. about campaign contributions and talks with Cortelyou Harriman and Mellen. Morgan insisted no concerted action existed, that funds were for public interest, and he recalled only routine meetings with Cortelyou and no meetings at Harriman’s office. He noted a $100,000 national fund and a $30,000 1908 contribution, neither implying returns or commitments.
