Theodore Roosevelt thinks the situation in Indiana is indicative of the state of the Progressive Party throughout the country. Roosevelt is frustrated with the party’s direction and lack of opposition to Wilson. Roosevelt has always publicly opposed Wilson, but some Progressives are willing to support him. Roosevelt no longer believes in maintaining the Progressive Party.
