Probably the most famous member of the Queen
City Club was Cincinnati native William Howard
Taft, the only man to have held the offices of
both President and Chief Justice of the United
States. On November 5th 1908 William Jennings
Bryan, after his 3rd Presidential election
loss, telegraphed Taft, who was in Cincinnati,
congratulating him on his election victory and
wishing his administration the best of luck.
