WILLIAM H. TAFT
He signs on this card to a friend's son on May 4, 1920 in brown ink
Autograph Note Signed: "With best wishes/for Paul Linebarger/from a friend of/his father/Wm H Taft/May 4th/1920", 3¾x2½ card. At the time he signed this card, TAFT was campaigning for fellow Ohioan Warren G. Harding for the presidential nomination. Five weeks later, on June 12, 1920, Harding was nominated and was elected President in November. On June 30, 1921, President Harding nominated Taft to be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. DR. PAUL MYRON ANTHONY LINEBARGER (1913-1966) was the son of Paul Linebarger, Federal District Judge in the Philippines, and later legal advisor to the Republic of China whose first President, Sun Yat-sen, was Paul's godfather. Taft had served in the Philippines as Governor-General from 1901-1904, signing this card for six-year-old Paul. A college professor and Far East specialist, Linebarger was involved in propaganda techniques and psychological warfare in WWII. After the war he wrote science fiction under the pseudonym Cordwainer Smith. Lightly soiled. Fine condition.
