Progressive party
(gcide) | Progressive party \Progressive party\ (U. S. History)
The political party formed, chiefly out of the Republican
party, by the adherents of Theodore Roosevelt in the
presidential campaign of 1912. The name Progressive party was
chosen at the meeting held on Aug. 7, 1912, when the
candidates were nominated and the platform adopted. It was
also known as the Bull Moose Party. Among the chief
articles in the platform are those demanding direct
primaries, preferential primaries for presidential
nominations, direct election of United States senators,
women's suffrage, and recall of judicial decisions in certain
cases. In 1924 the label was also adopted by the party
supporting the presidential campaign of Robert M. La
Follette, and in 1948 it was also adopted by the party of
Henry Wallace. The party is no longer (1998) considered a
force in U. S. national politics.
