A Square Deal For Taft. Taft Fair Play Call From Wisconsin
The New York Evening Post argues there is ground for criticism of Taft but demands fair treatment. It praises Prof. A B Hall of the University of Wisconsin for urging open debate and condemns misrepresentation and secret insinuations. The paper denounces Roosevelt’s role as ambiguous and urges roosevelt to state his grounds and take a bold open position before the nation. It ends with support for Taft’s fair case and a wish for 1912 prosperity for readers.
