“Mr. Taft Makes the First Drive”
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
Following completion of the three major-party political conventions, this Harper’s Weekly cartoon marks the beginning of the national campaign by showing the presidential nominees teeing off to see who wins the game for the White House. Incumbent William Howard Taft hits the first drive, having won the Republican nomination in June. Waiting for his turn is Democrat Woodrow Wilson, who undoubtedly smiles because the split of the Republican Party makes his victory more likely. Carrying a big stick as he angrily lumbers toward the pair is Progressive Party nominee Theodore Roosevelt. The caddies are (left-right): William A. McAdoo, Wilson's campaign manager; possibly William Barnes Jr., chairman of the New York Republican Party; and George W. Perkins, co-chairman of the Progressive National Committee. |
