They were, therefore, with their insurance, safe in advanc- ing large sums to secure Roosevelt's s election, and did spend large sums of money to that end-had Roosevelt been defeated, the insurance com panieS would have been compelled to make good the losses and expenses of Roosevelt's Wall Street friends in their attempts to elect him, if elect ed, Roosevelt could assist them in their desires"
