It was the politically astute and ardent Taftite, Rep. Clarence Brown of Of Ohio. The boys ragged Brown a little about the Taft trip, but he wasnt a bit Said he: We didn't expect to bring back a bunch of delegates. Taft made votes for the Republican party, and that means votes for Taft. (Despite Browns optimism, some observers have felt that although Taft did make new friends, they werent new votes, for they were already solid Republicans.) Frankly, I dont understand Taft very well.
