You also remember the big promise several of the mill- owners made, led by Mr. Charles Taft?"
Taft saw other views rising within him, other preferences, other resolves. From the bosom of his family he may have heard the exhortation, "Be your own President; don't be any body's man or rubber stamp." No doubt intimate friends strengthened this advice.
From my personal knowledge I can say that under the administration of President Taft the Roman Catholic Church and the Secret Service of the Federal Government worked hand in hand for the undermining of the radical movement in America.
Those who disliked the League may have held their noses as they voted. But both groups of Southerners voted the same ticket. Were the Republicans more unanimous? Anybody can pick Republican voters enough out of his circle of friends to cover the whole gamut of opinion from the irreconcilability of Senators Johnson and Knox to the advocacy of Secretary Hoover and Chief Justice Taft.

State of the Union Address William H.

It is an interesting fact that most of the great friends of the people, most of those who are eager in demanding the rights of the proletariat, are men of medium or coarse texture. Mr. Taft is soft elastic in consistency of fiber, while Mr. Roosevelt is hard elastic.
Therefore, it was the Taft faction which, in spite of the plain evidence given at the choice of the delegates, and at the Convention itself evidence which the Machine tried to ignore and suppress it was the Taft faction and not Roosevelt which split the Republican Party in 1912.
