 | William Howard Taft - The Farmer And The Republican Party William Howard Taft (September 15, 1857 -- March 8, 1930) was an American politician, the twenty-seventh President of the United States, the tenth Chief Justice of the United States, a leader of the progressive conservative wing of the Republican Party in the early 20th century, a pioneer in international arbitration and staunch advocate of world peace verging on pacifism, and scion of a leading political family, the Tafts, of Ohio. Taft served as the Solicitor General of the United States, a federal judge, Governor-General of the Philippines, and Secretary of War before being nominated for President in the 1908 Republican National Convention with the backing of his predecessor and close friend Theodore Roosevelt. His presidency was characterized by trust-busting, strengthening the Interstate Commerce Commission, expanding the civil service, establishing a better postal system, and promoting world peace. Roosevelt broke with Taft in 1911, charging Taft was too reactionary. Taft and the conservatives were alarmed at Roosevelt's attacks on the judiciary, and took control of the party machinery. Taft defeated Roosevelt for the Republican nomination in a bruising battle in 1912 that forced Roosevelt out of the GOP and left Taft's people in charge for decades. William Howard Taft remains the only U.S. President to finish third in a bid for reelection to a second consecutive term. During World War I he helped set national labor policy that reduced strikes and generated union support for the national cause. In 1921, he became Chief Justice. As President and Chief Justice he helped make the federal courts, especially the Supreme Court, much more powerful in shaping national policy. To date he is the only former president to serve on the Supreme Court. |

 | Le Movement Progressive This is my 3rd video made, once again, for "American History". It's my vision of what Upton Sinclair was really like. This also features the final appearance of Brandon Shields in a Wise Cracker video. After forgetting the A.V. cables (his only job) for the second time and causing us to fail an assignment once again he was booted. Look for him in his farewell performance as the "Meat Inspector".(By the way, I find it necessary to mention that Brandon was in a second group and got credit for that project causing him not to fail). It's going to be featured on the August 2007 release of our DVD "Cracking' Wise". |
