Senator Robert M. La Follette recently delivered a speech excoriating President William H. Taft for having “broken all the vital party platform pledges and repeatedly and continuously [betraying] the public interests into the hands of special privilege.” While Taft attained the presidency through his association with Theodore Roosevelt, his actions in office have gone against many of the progressive policies that Roosevelt upheld.
