Sorry, the correct answer is D. Theodore Roosevelt sued The Iron Ore newspaper of Ishpeming for accusing him of being drunk when he campaigned in Marquette. At the trial, Roosevelt had several prominent people testify to his drinking habits and he listed every drink he had ever had in his life. After five days of trial, the newspaper editor finally read a prepared statement admitting he was mistaken in his accusations against the former president. Theodore Roosevelt could have been awarded $10,000 under Michigan law, but instead, he requested only six cents for compensation because “That’s about the price of a GOOD paper.” The Iron Ore cost only three cents.
