One presidential advertisement for Taft's reelection printed in the "Saturday Evening Post" dated October 26, 1912. The one-paged print out is an endorsement of William Howard Taft by the Republican National Committee. Text refers to candidate Woodrow Wilson as a "danger and William Howard Taft as "safety." It recalls the Payne-Aldrich Tariff Act signed by Taft. It was given unwarranted critcism and proved to be beneficial for the economy in the long run.
