continued the recital of events in the

printed by Chicago papers at the time
Of Lorimer's election. Counsel for

NOTHING FROM WHITE HOUSE.
Among other points made by Sena-

these:
Il never received anything direct
from the White house. The president
had no interest in me personally.
Il only knew Penrose and Aldrich
casually, but they seemed to think
was the man who could be elected.

refusing to support Boutell was that

He expressed the opinion that a part

Iowa for instance. When a young

HOW HE GOT BgsJNEsA -.
! Carnegie gave several illustrations
OF his power to get business when he
was in the steel market. Once he
assisted the Union Pacific to get q

Afterwards, though there were other
! bidders, he got a contract from the
Union Pacific for 10000 tons of steel
rails by telling Sidney Dillon he
would give him the lowest price.
CREDIT TO HUNTINGTON.
Carnegie also related how he had
given a credit to Coils P. Hunting
ton, president of the Union Pacific,
at time when Huntington was hard
up" These were cited as illustrations
to show corporations cannot compete
against personal influence.
Carnegie was then questioned at
