mo man of better training no man of
more dauntless courage. or common sense
and higher character has ever come TO
the presidency than William Howard
Taft"
The president in concise terms precedes
this statement with a history of the
president-elect. In one place he says.
referring to Taft as solicitor general:
"He won an enviable reputation and
succeeded to a remarkable degree in COM
lining entire fearlesness in stating and
upholdinR his own convictions with the
ability TO avoid giving needless offense
90 those whose convictions differed from
his. 1t is one Of Mr.. Taft's great gifts
OF usefulness that he possesses exactly
the ability unflinchingly to stand by tile
right. and yet to do it with the minimum
Of offensiveness toward those who dc
not see matters as clearly as he does"
The president refers TO Mr.. Taffs
judicial record. saying:
1T fell to Mr.. Taft to decide a number
of cases in which he bla1ed in advance
the trail that all judges must in the end
follow. This was notably the case both
as TO corporations and of the rights of
labor"
