How did replacing roosevelt's secretary of the interior cause a dispute between taft and the progressives?
In 1910 Taft got into difficulty with the conservationists. The issue concerned the integrity of his secretary of the interior, Richard A. Ballinger. A less than ardent conservationist, Ballinger returned to the public domain certain water power sites that the Roosevelt administration had withdrawn.Taft felt obliged to support his own man.
