Letters from 1908 reveal political fray over Taft and canal deal
A decaying 1908 letter hews to Roosevelt, Taft, and Taft era canal politics. It cites U S purchases of Canal Zone property for millions, disputes over who profited, and calls for public disclosure. The author argues the New and Taft factions manipulated public opinion while demanding transparency. The letter also covers responses from Delavan Smut and Mr. Smith, plus remarks on evidence and newspaper coverage.
