L.C. Paul Morton took his bosses job. He was part of the Teddy Roosevelt administration. TR was a progressive and the monopoly buster. They wanted him to fade into the sunset as V.P. A assassin's bullet changed all that and you know what they say about the best laid plans of mice and men.
That had to be a bitter pill for O.A.K. to swallow. Having a man that could send contracts there way without interference. Charging what they wanted without question and then skimming off the top. Sweet deal if you can get it done. But it looks like they got caught with their hands in the cookie jar. Plenty of other places to get rich off of. They wanted gravy on their mashed potatoes not just salt and pepper.
