Why was Taft Not Well Liked?
• Not as energetic and well liked as Roosevelt• Not good at using the “Bully Pulpit”• Promised to lower tariffs but actually increased many
with the Payne-Aldrich Tariff upsetting progressives• Appointed wealthy lawyer Richard Ballinger to
Secretary of the Interior who removed land TR set aside for conservation
• Supported Speaker of the House Joe Cannon who was anti-progressive

Republican Party Split
• Due to these problems with Taft, the Republicans split into old-guard republicans and progressive republicans
• TR did not get the Republican nomination so he decided to run as a third party candidate in the Progressive Party(Bull Moose Party)
• Why would this split guarantee a democrat win?
