Cincinnati, 0.,i Sept. 13. William
Howard Taft, more popularly known
In his home city as "Big Bill" Taft. Is
51 years old today, and observance of
ths anniversary In Uils city, while In
formal, Is none the less sincere. There
U no room for doubt that Mr. Taft is
the most popular man in Cincinnati,
and this entirely aside from, his fame
as the presidential candidate of the
republican party. A veritable shower
of congratulations from'' friends and
admirers in this city and throughout
the country Is descending today upon
-Mr. Taft and will doubtless serve to
broaden the Illuminating snille which
he habitually wears. - .
"Bill" Taft first saw the light. of
day In Cincinnati on September 13,
1857, the son of Judge Alphonso and
Louise Torrey Taft. His father,-later
United States attorney general and
secretary of .war In the ; fablnef . of
President Grant, was himself one of
Ohio's most, famous sons, and his
memory Is ntlll revered by many of
Ohlo'n aged citizens '
. Since' Mr. Taft has become Internationally-
fanwm hi ' fcr.-iS
friends delight in recalling memories
of his early, days, and his birthday
has brought forth many new versions
of the old tales. . ' ' .
Cincinnati men who were et Tale
with Mr. Taft never tire of recounting
his experiences at that famous Insti
tution of learning. He was admitted
ly the best wrestler In the college atj
the time, "for his trmendous"physica!t
strength enabled I(hlm to take the or
dinary athlete round the waist, pick
him up, and let hi mfall, hard or soft
as the occasion seemed to demand. He
could box like a house afire, and
when, he wenf to a dance he danced
all night without a sign of fatigue.
And then, going to his room,--he
would spend the few hours interven
ing between that hour and class time
In getting up his lessons. He loved
play, but he never permitted play to
interfere with work. .And. thanks to
a wonderful constitution, and such
physical strength as has been given to
but few, he did more playing and
more working than any other man In
his class. He never spent any time In
training, for he was always In good
condition. When he put on the gloves
in the gym the man who undertook1
him kneW that even If "Will" Taft
looked a bit heavy, he was all hot
sand and ginger, plus a liberal amount
of steel vire and muscle. He has
that muscle yet. , ,
Through with college, young .Taft
vent back to his homo In Cincinnati
io prepare to practice, law. But It
was required of him that he first earn
his living, for Judge Alphonso Taft.
his father, was by no means a rich
man. Naturally enough, perhaps. Tuft
became court reporter tor the old
omim-rcial Gazette, then In the hey-
uoy of Its glory, and his reports ol
ltaln celebrated cuses are still con-
Kldered here to be models of journal
istic excellence. Incidentally, It mav
, ho first trained some men of pres
ent day eminence, to stand the llirht
if publiicty without blinking, for bl-
ult, If It didn't leave a sc.xr, at least
Illuminated every story.
It was at this time that the one fight
of Mr. Tuft's career, of which men
tion Is always made, took place. The
dltor of one of the scurrilous Sunday
morning sheets which at that time In
fested many cities of the west, h;id at
tacked Judge Alphonso Taft very bit
terly. Young Will Taft went to th
editor and told him to stop It. May
be the editor didn't have William H.
Taft labeled as "strictly dangerous
handle with rare" In his directory of
combustibles. Probnbly he thought
young Tuft was Just n lurge, rather
well-fed young man, who always
looked good-natured, and likely could
not be any other way. For the. next
week hU paper appeared with a more
vicious attack than ever before on
Judge Tuft. And that night the editor
v.ent to bed with a severe attack of
nervous lndigrsttn which had settled
In his fuce. Young Taft had given
him one grand licking, on the most
traveled street In Cincinnati, and at
tended wlih every circumstance of
glowing publicity.
