Tough Tarbell Trivia

[Rob Wick]

Time to dust off some Tough Tarbell Trivia.

Generally speaking, Ida Tarbell rarely said anything truly negative about someone in her personal correspondence. However, there was one individual that, at least on one occasion, she let her true feelings be known (albeit to another person, not the individual in question).

Of whom did Tarbell say "There is a touch of intellectual snobbery about him as well as a great lack of humor, which, unless he overcomes them, is going to seriously interfere with his ambition to be President of the United States."

I'll even provide a clue. The person in question made no secret of his dislike for Tarbell.
