Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Alphonso Taft When the old Whig party went to pieces he readily grasped the necessity for a new organization to succeed it and he believed that the slavery question offered the basis and rally ing cry for the new party. Never a radical he seized upon the various phases of the anti-slavery issues that appealed most effectively to the common sense, sympathy, and intui tive justice of the people. As a delegate to the first National Republican Convention at Philadelphia, he was earnest, ao tive, and useful. It was he, with his friend Thomas Spooner of Cincinnati, that designated the keynote orator on that epoch-making occasion.

Excerpt: ... influences, and be able to catch the point of view of every class of workers. An episode of his life while studying law and doing newspaper work is told by a recent writer much as it was recorded at the time of the occurrence. A man named Rose ran a blackmailing newspaper in Cincinnati. Rose was an ex-prize fighter and an all-round ruffian. He printed a scurrilous article about Judge Alphonso Taft, which was so palpably a slander that Judge Taft's friends only laughed and gave it no serious thought. But it didn't strike Will Taft as in any way funny. He started for Rose's office with his face flushed and his fists doubled up. On the street he met his man. "Are you Rose?" demanded Taft . Rose started an affirmative nod, but before he had half concluded it Taft had picked him up bodily and flung him down with a bang on the pavement . He didn't deign to strike. He simply put one knee in the small of the blackmailer's back and began cheerfully grinding his face into the paving stones. Rose howled with pain and rage. "I'll let you up if you'll get out of town tonight," said Taft . Between howls Rose managed to make a promise to quit, and Taft let him up. "Now," said Taft, "I'll come down here again tonight, and if you are still here this is only a starter." But Rose had had plenty. He quit Cincinnati that night and his slander-monger never appeared again. In 1880 Will Taft graduated from the Law School, dividing the first honors with another industrious and ambitious student . He began the practice of law in his father's old firm but devoted a good deal of time to politics and took a firm stand against gang rule. He had been practicing law but one year when he was called to his first public service. A friend, Miller Outcalt, now a leader of...

Download or read book The Life and Times of William Howard Taft written by Henry Fowles Pringle and published by Hamden, Conn., Archon Books. This book was released on 1964 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henry Fowles Pringle (1897–1958) was an American historian and writer most famous for his witty but scholarly biography of Theodore Roosevelt which won the Pulitzer prize in 1932, as well as the scholarly biography of William Howard Taft. Although he won the Pulitzer Prize in biography for Theodore Roosevelt, a Biography, Henry F. Pringle's most famous work is considered The Life and Times of William Howard Taft: A Biography. The William Howard Taft biography was published in 1939 and is often considered the definitive biography of the 27th president. Pringle's biography of Taft was a more balanced and thoughtful piece of work than the Roosevelt study. He had unlimited access to the large collection of Taft papers. Moreover, he discovered in Taft a "tortured soul" whose life could best be understood from the inside rather than from the outside. This offered a more serious challenge to the biographer than the chiefly visible exploits of Teddy Roosevelt. A newspaper reporter, he later become a professor at the Columbia University School of Journalism, and served as chief of the publications division of the Office of War Information in 1942-1943.

Download or read book Moderates written by David S. Brown and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fierce polarization of contemporary politics has encouraged Americans to read back into their nation's past a perpetual ideological struggle between liberals and conservatives. However, in this timely book, David S. Brown advances an original interpretation that stresses the critical role of moderate statesmen, ideas, and alliances in making our political system work. Beginning with John Adams and including such key figures as Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., and Bill Clinton, Brown charts the vital if uneven progress of centrism through the centuries. Moderate opposition to both New England and southern secessionists during the early republic and later resistance to industrial oligarchy and the modern Sunbelt right are part of this persuasion's far-reaching legacy. Time and again moderates, operating under a broad canopy of coalitions, have come together to reshape the nation's electoral landscape. Today's bitter partisanship encourages us to deny that such a moderate tradition is part of our historical development--one dating back to the Constitutional Convention. Brown offers a less polemical and far more compelling assessment of our politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pulitzer Prize–winning author and presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin’s dynamic history of Theodore Roosevelt, William H. Taft and the first decade of the Progressive era, that tumultuous time when the nation was coming unseamed and reform was in the air. Winner of the Carnegie Medal. Doris Kearns Goodwin’s The Bully Pulpit is a dynamic history of the first decade of the Progressive era, that tumultuous time when the nation was coming unseamed and reform was in the air. The story is told through the intense friendship of Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft—a close relationship that strengthens both men before it ruptures in 1912, when they engage in a brutal fight for the presidential nomination that divides their wives, their children, and their closest friends, while crippling the progressive wing of the Republican Party, causing Democrat Woodrow Wilson to be elected, and changing the country’s history. The Bully Pulpit is also the story of the muckraking press, which arouses the spirit of reform that helps Roosevelt push the government to shed its laissez-faire attitude toward robber barons, corrupt politicians, and corporate exploiters of our natural resources. The muckrakers are portrayed through the greatest group of journalists ever assembled at one magazine—Ida Tarbell, Ray Stannard Baker, Lincoln Steffens, and William Allen White—teamed under the mercurial genius of publisher S.S. McClure. Goodwin’s narrative is founded upon a wealth of primary materials. The correspondence of more than four hundred letters between Roosevelt and Taft begins in their early thirties and ends only months before Roosevelt’s death. Edith Roosevelt and Nellie Taft kept diaries. The muckrakers wrote hundreds of letters to one another, kept journals, and wrote their memoirs. The letters of Captain Archie Butt, who served as a personal aide to both Roosevelt and Taft, provide an intimate view of both men. The Bully Pulpit, like Goodwin’s brilliant chronicles of the Civil War and World War II, exquisitely demonstrates her distinctive ability to combine scholarly rigor with accessibility. It is a major work of history—an examination of leadership in a rare moment of activism and reform that brought the country closer to its founding ideals.
