Taft Nomination Praised by London Papers Amid Roosevelt Praise
London papers cheer Taft and Roosevelt after the Taft nomination. The Standard calls Taft a capable yet independent choice seen as shaped by a great mentor. The Westminster Gazette lauds both Taft and Roosevelt and urges Roosevelt as a steady advisor to the nation. The Globe treats Taft’s victory as uncertain with Bryan likely his opponent. Roosevelt, pleased, orders a prepared statement to be issued to reporters. Taft and family in Washington react with a brief jubilation at the War Department.
