The odds were too long on Theodore Roosevelt’s presidential campaign and their only option is to maintain the Progressive Party as an independent political party. He is not concerned about the name of the party but thinks that using Progressive Republican Party would alienate progressive Democrats and provide an opening to Republican political bosses. Roosevelt would like to discuss the political situation with Seth Bullock.
