	MSN Encarta - Search View - William Howard Taft
		William Howard Taft was born on September 15, 1857, in Cincinnati, Ohio, the son of Alphonso and Louisa Torrey Taft.
		In Manila, Taft was soon involved in a conflict of power and policy with the military governor, General Arthur MacArthur, whose harsh treatment of the Filipinos contradicted Taft's objective: “to hold the Philippines for the benefit of the Filipinos.” Taft won, MacArthur was replaced, and in 1901, Taft was made civil governor of the islands.
		Taft began his term of office thinking of his administration as a “progressive development of that which has been performed by President Roosevelt.” Roosevelt was a symbol of a period of reform, called the Progressive Era, which lasted from the last decade of the 19th century into the second decade of the 20th century.
