“Uncle Sam: Enough Head-Lines - Produce the Evidence!"

Since the summer, Democrats had been whispering that Republican National Committee Chairman George Cortelyou was blackmailing major corporate donors to the campaign fund of President Theodore Roosevelt. It was alleged that Cortelyou was promising them political favors, particularly the promise of the administration not suing them under federal antitrust laws. In September, newspapers began reporting the story, including The New York Times, which tended not to be sensational in its coverage and often supported Republican candidates. In October, Democratic presidential nominee Alton B. Parker undertook a brief, last-minute speaking tour in which he leveled the same, vague charges. |
