Best Answer

Being Roosevelt's hand picked successor, Taft's progressive reformers believed him to be one of their own, but he was also known to be a moderate jurist (an expert in the science or philosophy of law). Conservatives expected him to abandon TR's aggresive use of Presidential powers. Taft also had little regard for conservation which caused a big controversy.
