cover: Robert Alphonso Taft Sr. (1889–1953) was an American conservative politician and scion of the Republican Party's Taft family. He was a leader of the conservative coalition of Republicans and Democrats who prevented expansion of the New Deal. Often referred to as "Mr. Republican", he co-sponsored the Taft–Hartley Act of 1947, which banned closed shops and other labor practices. The elder son of William Howard Taft, the 27th President of the United States and the 10th Chief Justice of the United States, Robert Taft was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, graduated from Harvard Law School in 1913, served in the Ohio House of Representatives from 1921 to 1931 and in the Ohio Senate from 1931 to 1933. After winning election to the U.S. Senate in 1938 he repeatedly sought the Republican nomination for President, but was never successful. He opposed U.S. involvement in World War II prior to the 1941 Japanese Attack on Pearl Harbor. He also opposed the creation of NATO and criticized President Harry Truman's handling of the Korean War.
