Why was Taft Not Well-Liked?

many with the Payne-Aldrich Tariff upsetting progressives
• Appointed wealthy lawyer Richard Ballinger to Secretary of the Interior who removed land TR set aside for conservation

Republican Party Split
• Due to these problems with Taft, the Republicans split into old-guard republicans and progressive republicans
• TR did not get the Republican nomination so he decided to run as a third party candidate in the Progressive Party(Bull Moose Party)
• Why would this split guarantee a democrat win?
