Large Sum Quotes



William Cromwell had sent a $50,000 check to Taft’s Campaign. That would be the equivalent of more than $1 million in year 2000 money. He instructed the campaign manager to return the check. President Theodore Roosevelt thought Taft was being too principled and urged him to accept the money. See {640688} for Taft’s reply. Taft finally compromised between Roosevelt and his conscience, and took only $10,000.
