A campaign poster for William Howard Taft carries a "Good Times" tag, a slogan that spoke to the prosperity voters associated with the years before the Panic of 1907. Copyrighted in 1908, the year Taft won the Republican nomination and then the presidency, it reflects how party strategists packaged a candidate as the heir to Theodore Roosevelt's policies. Posters like this one were printed in large runs and pasted on walls, fences and storefronts, so they reached voters who never attended a rally. Today the piece shows how early twentieth-century campaigns sold a message in a few words and a single portrait.
