Munsey's Magazine — September 1908 This issue of *Munsey's Magazine* (Vol. XXXIX, No. VI) features a substantial political article titled "If Taft Is Elected to the Presidency" by Allen D. Albert. The piece examines William H. Taft's character, career decisions, and potential administration. Albert traces Taft's crucial career decision when offered a Philippines governorship versus a Circuit Court judgeship by Secretary of War Elihu Root and President McKinley. Taft chose the Philippines assignment, later succeeding Root as Secretary of War. The article details anecdotes illustrating Taft's judicial discipline—imposing severe sentences on corrupt colonial officials—and his diplomatic grace, including dancing the rigodon in Manila to disarm Filipino mistrust of Americans. Albert catalogs Taft's closest friends and advisors (including Theodore Roosevelt, Root, and brother Charles P. Taft), examines their likely influence, and addresses speculation about Roosevelt's post-presidential involvement. He notes the two men have disagreed on substantive issues, including the Brownsville troop dismissal, demonstrating Taft's independence. A companion article on Bryan's potential election is announced for October.
