Taft Campaign Swing Stirs Southern Support and Debate
Taft warned the South against following Northern Democratic trends and urged them to join a party aligned with protective tariffs. He split Democrats into three groups, urged the first to vote for him, and challenged the others to switch. He praised Republican-Democrat crossovers and criticized Democratic bank policy as impracticable. Taft’s stops drew large crowds in Knoxville, Johnson City, and Bristol, with women presenting flowers as his car, the Constitution, moved through the region. Tennessee politics show Patterson’s grip weakening and Tillman gaining as a statewide prohibitionist vies for governor, aided by Democratic factional rifts.
