powers which, according to the
Constitution, belong to it, working in harmony with a group of men who had
interested themselves in a number of progressive--perhaps some might say
radical--reform measures. Furthermore, these policies were a perfectly
natural expression of Mr. Roosevelt's personality.

Do Mr. Taft's physical characteristics, as easily observable indicate
that he is of a character, temperament and aptitude to continue such
policies as these. A comparison of the two men should give us the answer.

Mr. Taft is very much lighter in color than Mr. Roosevelt. As a general
rule, the lighter blond coloring is an indication of mildness of
disposition, instead of the fierceness and eager determination to dominate
of the man who is as ruddy as Mr. Roosevelt.

Mr. Taft's forehead is very much more practical in type than Mr.
Roosevelt's. He is, therefore, far more interested in the practical
application of such principles as he has than in theories, hypotheses, and
reform.

Mr. Taft's nose, by its roundness and softness of contour, indicates
mildness, good nature, refinement, and delicacy of feeling, while Mr.
Roosevelt's is the large-tipped, bony-bridged nose of aggressiveness and
combativeness.

Mr. Taft's mouth is a good-natured, smiling, laughing, jovial mouth,
instead of the grim, hard, fighting mouth as shown in Mr. Roosevelt's
type.

Mr. Taft's chin is of the rounded and rather retreating type, an
indication that he is probably far better qualified by disposition to
follow a strong and aggressive leader than to take the aggressive,
dominating, fighting leadership himself.

Mr. Taft is a very much larger man than Mr. Roosevelt. This, while not
particularly important, is just one more indication of his good nature and
his dislike for a hard, grueling fight. It is an interesting fact that
almost all of the great fighters of the world have been little men.
Alexander, Caesar, Napoleon, Grant, Lord Roberts, Sheridan, Sherman,
Wilhelm II, and many others have been below medium in stature. Of the
others, Kitchener, Wellington, Frederick the Great, Washington, and von
Hindenberg have been men of not more than medium size. It is almost
unprecedented to find a fighter in a man of Mr. Taft's huge size.

In structure, Mr. Taft is essentially of the judicial type. This type is
always a defender of property, an upholder of the Constitution, a strong
advocate of making the best of things as they are, rather than plun
