—Jane Grey Swisshelm (1815–1884)
“What I am anxious to do is to get the best bill possible with the least amount of friction.... I wish to avoid [splitting our party].

It is only when all other efforts fail that I’ll resort to headlines and force the people into this fight.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
