| | Progressive Party (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Orland Steen Loomis was the last Progressive to be elected governor of Wisconsin, in 1942. | | | The party, which in reality consisted of little more than Roosevelt's presidential campaign, soon folded, and Roosevelt returned to the Republican Party after the Republicans nominated the more progressively-minded Charles Evans Hughes for president in 1916. | | | The United States Progressive Party refers to three distinct political parties in 20th-century United States politics. |

| | In the early 20th century, the traditional symbol of the Democratic Party in Midwestern states such as Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio was the rooster, as opposed to the Republican eagle. | | | In the 1850s, following the disintegration of the Whig Party, the Southern wing of the Democratic Party became increasingly associated with the expansion of slavery, in opposition to the newly revamped United States Republican Party. | | | Bruce Babbitt, Governor of Arizona and United States Secretary of the Interior |

| | Progressive party on Encyclopedia.com |
| | 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). |

| | Southeast Wisconsin's opposition to slavery and to the Fugitive Slave Act propelled the state's abolitionist secession movement and the Republican Party, which won support in the governor's office and the state legislature. | | | -- The Republican Party was founded as an abolitionist, pro-suffrage party in Ripon, Wisconsin in the 1850s. | | | -- The Progressive Party, founded in Wisconsin had its heyday under the leadership of Fighting Bob and Belle La Follette; Theodore Roosevelt was nominated as the Progressive Party's national candidate in 1912 at the very spot where the Green convention is taking place. |

| | Taylor, the Progressive party name list and the minutes of the Progressive party convention in 1948 are included in the collection. | | | Much of the information on the Progressive party in the collection has been incorporated by its collector, Curtis MacDougall, a professor of journalism at Northwestern University, in his three-volume work Gideon's Army, already cited. | | | Thus the idea of a third party that would further divide and weaken the liberal-labor electorate sent chilling shivers up the spines of established liberal-left politicians and their followers. |
