Do you have any ideas so far? :)

anonymous · Answer

maybe breaking up monopolies?

eclipsedstar · Answer

That would be incorrect, Taft was actually well-known for breaking up monopolies, that was why Roosevelt appointed Taft in the first place.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Howard_Taft here it mentions that Taft actually vetoed Congress's attempts to make labor unions...

eclipsedstar · Answer

...while Roosevelt openly supported Labor Unions.

eclipsedstar · Answer

So this shows that Taft disliked supporting labor unions. He was less progressive in that matter.
