Instead, he supported William Howard Taft, who had served under him as governor of the Philippines and secretary of war. Taft, pledging to continue Roosevelt's programs, defeated Bryan, who was running for the third and last time.  \n1. Who won the presidential election of 1908?  \na. Theodore Roosevelt  \nb. William Howard Taft  \nc. William Jennings Bryan  \nd. Woodrow Wilson  \nThe new president continued the prosecution of trusts with less discrimination than Roosevelt, further strengthened the Interstate Commerce Commission, established a postal savings bank and a parcel post system, expanded the civil service, and sponsored the enactment of two amendments to the Constitution, both adopted in 1913 .  \nThe 16th Amendment, ratified just before Taft left office, authorized a federal income tax; the 17th Amendment, approved a few months later, mandated the direct election of senators by the people, instead of  \nstate legislatures. Yet balanced against these progressive measures was Taft's acceptance of a new tariff with higher protective schedules; his opposition to the entry of the state of Arizona into the Union because of its liberal constitution; and his growing reliance on the conservative wing of his party.  \n2.

Wilson, in a spirited campaign, defeated both rivals.  \n5. Who won the presidential election of 1912?  \na. Theodore Roosevelt  \nb. William Howard Taft  \nc. William Jennings Bryan  \nd. Woodrow Wilson  \nDuring his first term, Wilson securedone of the most notable legislative programs in American history. The first task was tariff revision. \"The tariff duties must be altered,\"Wilson said. \"We must abolish everything that bears any semblance of privilege.\" The Underwood Tariff, signed on October 3, 1913, provided substantial rate reductions on imported raw materials and foodstuffs, cotton and woolen goods, iron and steel; it removed the duties from more than a hundred other items. Although the act retained many protective features, it was a genuine attempt to lower the cost of living. To compensate for lost revenues, it established a modest income tax.  \nThe second item on the Democratic program was a long overdue, thorough reorganization of the ramshackle banking and currency system. \"Control,\" said Wilson, \"must be public, not private, must be vested in the government itself, so that the banks may be the instruments, not the masters, of business and of individual enterprise and initiative.\"  \nThe Federal Reserve Act of December 23, 1913, was Wilson's most enduring legislative accomplishment.  \nConservatives had favored establishment of one powerful central bank. The new act, inline with the Democratic Party's Jeffersonian sentiments, divided the country into 12 districts, with a Federal Reserve Bank in each, all supervised by a national Federal Reserve Board with limited authority to set interest rates.
