WILLBAM HOWARD TAFT
The Next President of the United States.
Now that the nomination of
William Howard Taft for presi
dent of-the United States by the
Republican convention now in
session in Chicago is practically
assured , facts concerning the
gentleman ought to prove inter
esting to every reader and with
this in view the REPUBLICAN
prints the portrait of the big
Secretary and some authenticated
statements concerning him.
One writer who knows him
well and has studied him closely ,
says : ' - .
Secretary Taft is a peculiarly
attractive personality. He is
warm-hearted , approachable ,
frank.and blessed with the saving
grace of humor , and at the same
time he has always the strength
and courage of his sound con
victions. His " "
"yes" means yes
and his "no" precisely what it
spells. All along the path of
this man from the boyhood to
now , from the bulking youth
who outwresiled every one at Yale
to the "quickfooted fighting
elephant of our modern politics , "
ready to run for the presidency if
his party so decrees , one may
gather incidents , which speak of
his courage , his strength , his
self-sacrifice , his endurance his
patience , and his intense human-
ness.
ness.He shows us a convincing
example that a man may smile
and smile and still be strong as"a
giant and firm as a rock.
It has become axiomatic in
Washington , that whenever
trouble occurs anywhere in the
world beyond the power of or
dinary agencies to deal with ,
Taft is the man who must be
sent to straighten it out. Not
only did he bring order out of
chaos in the Philippines , but he
averted civil war and anarchy in
Cuba , settled the difficult problem
of the friars' lands by a visit to
the Vatican , started the vast
activity at Panama in effective
fashion , and then went back
again to adjust a threatened
struggle between two jarring
states. Though the secretary
of peace , he carried on the War
department with a strong grip
Upon its details , helped reorgan
ize the army and create a gen
eral staff , and incidentally found
time to make a tour of the world
and to travel all over the country
as a fast rising favorite for the
presidency. It is not surprising ,
in view of his achievements , his
record as a getter of results , as a
doer , that President Roosevelt
says of him : "Taft Is the big
gest going concern in the coun
try. " He keeps going all the
time. He works from 8 o'clock
in the morning till midnight.
He not only works hard , but
plays hard , sleeps hard , eats
hard , and sometimes hits hard
when roused.
When he entered Yale college
in 1874 , young Taft settled down
to capture all the honors , which
industry and ability could reagh.
( ( His father was then a member of
, Grant's cabinet , but that did not
bother 1 "Big Bill. " And he got
the honors , too , without being a
grind. | William Allen White
says , "He danced well , sang well ,
wrestled well , wore his clothes
well , and probably loafed well ,
but never forgot the main busi
ness of lite to get an education.
And he did the job well , finished
it up , rounded it off , put in good
measure and quit the second man
in a class of 120 boys. "
In the early days of his political
career Taft was "a hulking six-
footer just under 30 , moon-faced ,
good-natured , who threw off
work by the ton , without sweat
ing , but with that merry heart
that maketh a glad countenance.
Incidentally , he had a fighting
record , lie had ground a black
smith's face into the sidewalk
for libeling Judge Taft , he had
whipped a ward heeler for in
timidating voters at the prim
aries , and he had taken a ward
joss by the scruff of the neck and
he reef of his trousers and had
iterally thrown him out of a con
vention. He had the blind , roar-
ng , inexorable wrath of a big
nan of peace. And in those
days , when he was still a boy to
the old men , and only a boy to
he young men , he was to the
clan of his kind that loved him ,
still "old Bill. " He was what
lang calls a mixer. He fought
he gang on the iloor of the con
vention and was never too nice to
.jet down in the primaries and
work at the polls. And when he
came rolling down the street like
i good-natured porpoise , or whet
ic banged his big fist on the
bench as he sat in court , he was
still "Old Bill , " much to be res
pected , little to be feared , save
jy the unrighteous , and always
to be loved. He had but one
weakness for a politician work.
Fie kept his docket clean. His
traces never scraped the wheel ;
his shoulders always were in the
collar , and withal he never turn
ed a hair. Work was his whiskey ,
liis cards , his 'revelry by night.
If he had ever set out to sow wild
oats he would have harvested
them by the car-load. Hut he
sowed no wild oats , and turned
into his thirties a clean-skinned ,
clear-eyed , sharp-brained , hard-
muscled , soft-hearted , well-read ,
well-bred young gentleman ,
whom the younger men were
pointing to with some pride , and
their arnbitous elders , seeing him
climb , were viewing with some
alarm.
He was born September 15 ,
1857 , and for twenlj'-seven years
has served the public in various
stations as may be seen from the
following data :
January , 1881 Assistant public prose
cutor.
