Note On Name
Because Robert Taft did not have his father's middle name, Alphonso, he was not technically a 'Jr.' His son Bob Taft (the former governor of Ohio) is Robert Alphonso Taft II, although the subject of this article was listed as "Robert A. Taft, Jr." in the 1920 U.S. Federal Population Census.
