The National Progressive Committee refutes Harvey Washington Wiley’s inference that President Roosevelt was against the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act. Wiley was nicknamed the “Father of the Pure Food and Drug Act” and oversaw its enforcement from 1906 until 1912 when he resigned due to the constraints placed on the enforcement of the law.
