Gore Charges Denied By Officials In Oklahoma Inquiry
Vice President Sherman and Representative McGuire deny Gore’s charges as HaMon Curtis and Creager testify. Gore alleges bids, bribes, and contracts tied to McMurray lands. HaMon discusses a $50,000 offer and clean money. The hearing centers on Oklahoma contracts and alleged influence within Congress.
McMurray Contract Hearings Tarnish Taft Era Politics
The House committee probing the McMurray contracts heard charges of high level influence and bribe attempts to secure approval. Senators Gore and Curtis testified about money, influence, and alleged officials named by McMurray backers. Creager, Miller, Stephens, and others described pressure tactics at a Washington hotel suite and in discussions with Hannon and McMurray. The inquiry aims to determine whether approval of $3,000,000 in fees was justified and who benefited from any deal.
