Carl Panzram story
I can find no source earlier than 1970 for the story of Carl Panzram burglarizing Taft's home. This causes me to question the veracity of this account. Cheers! bd2412 T 22:43, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
Utah's Sen. Thomas Kearns and relationship with Roosevelt & Taft
U.S. Senator Thomas Kearns (1901 - 1905 Utah), mining magnate, newspaper owner, and railroad builder was the first gentile U.S. Senator from Utah. He enjoyed a close relationship with Presidents McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft. In 1903 Roosevelt made a special trip to Utah and made a point of a special lunch at the Kearns mansion (now the Utah's Governor's mansion) Kearns later broke with the Republican Party in Utah and formed the "American Party" which is thought to be the inspiration for Roosevelt's "Progressive Party." This is especially relevant in that it split the Republican vote and Woodrow Wilson, a democrat, won the election. Roosevelt and Taft remained friends with Thomas Kearns until his death in 1918. A new book is being published with companion DVD by Coventry-LDS press in the next month, with never before scene photographs and letters between Kearns and the two presidents. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.182.201.141 (talk) 04:48, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
President Taft's pony brigade
In Taft's later years, he devoted his life to developing a brigade of ponies capable of killing the British. Why is this not mentioned in the article??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chemtype (talk • contribs) 20:34, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
Year of appointment to Court of Appeals
Article gives year of appointment to Court of Appeals as 1891. This is unlikely as Wikipedia says he served as Solicitor General until 1892.
His denomination's biography says he was appointed to the court in 1893. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.175.109.15 (talk) 22:28, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
The Sixth Circuit's site says Taft was confirmed and appointed to the Court in 1892. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Laurelcooper (talk • contribs) 22:43, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
Never served on Ohio Supreme Court
The article’s introduction states Taft was appointed to the Ohio Supreme Court. That court’s web site does not list him.
The interior of the article says the appointment in 1887 was to the Superior Court of Ohio in Cincinnati. This court is mentioned elsewhere on the web as the 1887 appointment.
