What was William Taft's political platform?

Taft delegated the responsibility to those in the justice department. therefore there were atleast four times as many anti-trust lawsuits under Taft than roosevelt.

Also he allowed the first bill on a nationwide income tax to pass through congress.

He also let bills that allow for state refferendums and the recall of elected officials pass through congress.
