Successes:
- Prosecuted twice as many antitrust cases in 4 years as Roosevelt did in 7
- Established Tariff Board to investigate tariff rates
- Helped the federal budget begin to take shape
- Supported the ratification of both the 16th and 17th amendments
-Admitted New Mexico and Arizona as states
Failures:
- Signed the Payne-Aldrich Bill even though he knew it would split up the Republican Party
- Removed Gifford Pinchot from office, which made him look opposed to the conservation effort began by Roosevelt
- Backed Cannon who had too much power
Theses failures gave the impression that he had "Sold the Square Deal down the river"
