Senator Beveridge writes to Gifford Pinchot to chronicle the sense of general distrust and disappointment in President Taft. Beveridge reports that early misgivings were roused by Taft’s treatment of Theodore Roosevelt’s friends, the make up of his cabinet, and the men chosen to be his advisors. The tariff bill is almost universally hated throughout the country and Taft has gone out of his way to defend it. Beveridge fears that dislike of Taft is turning to hatred in some parts, and that others think the President is “stupid” or “punk.”
