William Taft actually said...

"So it is I am here, after having traversed I don't know how many states and visited I do not know how many cities."

"There may be a change of persons, but the government of the United States is in the people of the United States and there are a good many of the people of the United States in Chicago."

"I would rather cut off my right hand than do anything to disturb the business of this country."

"Now that they can be studied and understood—all the business men who touch the decision in any way will conduct their business hereafter according to the law."
