Theodore Roosevelt does not believe the Massachusetts Progressive Party will run a separate ticket this year and he hopes the Republicans will have a candidate the Progressives can support. Roosevelt regretted to hear that Senator John W. Weeks was not well received by Progressives in the West and appeared as a “regular reactionary stand-pat.” Fifteen years of peace propaganda has taken effect and it will take years to reverse.
