Theodore Roosevelt writes to T. H. Wanamaker about the Progressive movement in the South and invites him to share his letter with John M. Parker and other representatives in the Southern states. Roosevelt expresses admiration for the members of the Progressive Party in the South. He also mentions his hope that the Progressive Party would provide a second party option for those in the South who were dissatisfied with the Democratic Party. However, Roosevelt acknowledges the failure of the Progressives to gain popular support in the South and concludes that they must do what is best for the nation.
