looked around for some one TO write a
short history of Mr.. Taft's life. Mr.
Patterson vas selected, and the history
which he wrote was made one of the
important documents OF the campaign.
Letters on Taft.
In letter to his paper in June, 1903,
Mr.. Patterson told of mis- first meeting
with the man who was afterward to be
President. He depicted a class rush on
the campus at New Haven. He followed
Taft through all the vicissitudes OF his
course at Yale and Showed how the
character Of the President was nodded
in those days.
After the class of rs left Yale, Mr..
Patterson watched with some interest
the career of his old friend, and when
Mr.. Taft rose to prominence a few years
ago he backed him with all the power
OF his articles.
Mr.. Patterson married Miss Mary
Young Hogan. OF Valparaiso, Ind, in
October, 1892. The wife and two chill
dreu, Robert, sge fifteen, and Ruth.
age thirteen, survive. Funeral ar
engagements have not been made, but
since Mr. Patterson was q member OF
the Gridiron Club. IL IS probable that
that organization will participate in
the ceremonies.
