The Politician<br />
The job <strong>of</strong> your group is to explore <strong>the</strong> political life <strong>of</strong> <strong>Taft</strong>. He campaigned<br />
for <strong>the</strong> presidency in 1908 and 1912. Your resources include political<br />
cartoons, newspaper articles, electoral maps, and audio clips <strong>of</strong> campaign<br />
speeches. The first two resources provide an overall summary <strong>of</strong> his life.<br />

political fortunes change? Was he a successful politician? What were his stands<br />
on issues?<br />
