Mr. Republican. Sen. Taft Announces His GOP Candidacy. Senator Robert Taft, 'Mr. Republican,' fires the opening gun in the 1952 presidential race by announcing his candidacy to Washington newsmen. He tosses his hat into the ring with a ringing demand for good government. Taft speaks at very large press conference (nat sound). Lots of reporters and journalists.
