Abstract

Future of Republican Progressives

February 8, 1912 issue

add to cart   close window

This article presents information on politics in the U.S. An ex-senator of Nebraska gives it as his opinion that the Presidential election of this year will lead to the break-up of the Republican Progressive movement. The word "progressive" itself will, he thinks, disappear long from the Republican vocabulary. He expects most of Progressive Republican leaders to be "reabsorbed" by the party, though he ventures no prediction as to what will become of their constituents. The ex-Senator does not say so, but it is highly probable that he is drawing a moral from the experience of a Populist party, of which he was a member.
