This newspaper article discusses the political background and potential candidates in the 1908 presidential election. The author believes, “A man is needed,” and suggests that someone of Abraham Lincoln’s caliber would be the best option. However, although American may need another Lincoln, “she has no lack at all of vital personalities,” and the author suggests William H. Taft “would probably make an altogether unexpectedly good President.”
