1904 Campaign Contributions Debated by McCall and Perkins
Ric Call claimed he funded the gold platform to aid policyholders, not to defeat Democrats. He took full responsibility for the McCall Perkins New York Life contribution, saying he consulted no one but Perkins and did it on his own hook. He said he would not justify campaign funds though he believed the action benefited policyholders and blessed Bryan’s defeat.
