Abstract

Summing Up the Campaign
Villard, Oswald Garrison | October 29, 1924 issue

add to cart   close window

The Progressive Party has injected into the campaign the only issues around which discussion could center. It has, by its definite challenge to the old parties, made the election campaign what it ought to be—a great quadrennial period of political education. It has furnished a rallying point to millions politically homeless who would otherwise have stayed away from the polls or voted in bitterness and disgust. It has revived hope, reinspired faith that political progress is not dead, that leaders can be found to assail the massed forces of wealth and privilege even as at different times and in different ways they have been challenged by former United States Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson.
