Taft Entitled To But 70
Theodore Roosevelt critiques Taft's nomination in an editorial noting the 561 delegate votes, 31 beyond the required majority, and argues many Taft delegates were fraudulently seated. He claims only about 70 delegates truly represented the people, with the rest from territories, boss-picked delegations, or states lacking a Republican party.
