"COPYRIGHT/CLINEDINST/WASHINGTON, D.C." William Howard Taft
(1857-1930) was Governor of the Philippines (1901-1904), Secretary of War
(1904-1909), 27th of the United States (1909-1913) and Chief Justice of the US
Supreme Court (1921-1930). His bruising convention battle with former ally
and patron Theodore Roosevelt in 1912 split the Republican Party, allowing the
election of Democrat Woodrow Wilson. Taft as President was caught in the middle
between progressives and conservatives and constrained by a more limited view of
Presidential powers than TR had possessed, but historians tend to view his term
of office more positively than did most of his contemporaries. His skills as
Chief Justice are widely recognized. In the years between his Presidency and his
appointment as chief justice, Taft taught at Yale Law School, hence his need to
return there in time for lectures. Minor surface wear. Overall, fine
condition.
