| | The success of the Conference for Progressive Political Action, sponsored by the railroad brotherhoods, in the congressional elections of 1922 led to the nomination at Cleveland in 1924 of another Progressive party ticket, with La Follette for President and Burton K. Wheeler for Vice President. | | | The regular Republicans, however, controlled the national convention at Chicago (June) and renominated Taft, whereupon the Roosevelt supporters organized the new Progressive party (the Bull Moose party) and nominated, also at Chicago (August), Roosevelt for President and Hiram W. Johnson for Vice President. | | | Senator Robert M. La Follette was their choice for the Republican presidential nomination in 1912 until former President Theodore Roosevelt, at odds with his old friend Taft for various personal and political reasons, threw his "hat into the ring" (Feb. 24, 1912). |

| | The vote for a new Legislative Yuan, or parliament, left the opposition Nationalist Party and its allies with their same thin majority -- 114 of 225 seats -- and gave Chen's Democratic Progressive Party and its partners 101 seats, only one more than they enjoy in the current legislature. | | | But Chen himself was at the helm during the long campaign, repeatedly placing his leadership and his independence-minded policies at the center of electioneering across Taiwan's 29 electoral districts. | | | With its renewed majority, the party again is in place to force reconsideration of the deal. |
