Rockefeller Support Misread In Taft Campaign Debate
In the closing days of the campaign Democrats claimed John D. Rockefeller would contribute heavily to the Republican fund for Taft. Walter Wellman noted Standard Oil offered money long ago, but the committee declined those funds. Rockefeller and many Standard Oil people are Republicans or Democrats by choice, aligning with their party nominee. The strenuous campaign concluded with Mack predicting Busyan’s victory, while Democrats remained optimistic though most major papers saw no shift in national support.
