Description: Discovered in an old filing cabinet in Cincinnati, Ohio, and painstakingly restored this is footage of anti-William Howard Taft propaganda film made during the election of 1912. The ad proves that modern politics has no monopoly on personal insults and slander. Perhaps due in part to voters seeing this in movie palaces and cinema houses, Taft lost the election to Wilson.
