Minutes of the January 11, 1916, meeting of the Progressive National Committee. The Committee unanimously adopted a statement which roundly criticized President Woodrow Wilson’s “peace-at-any-price doctrine.” It called for military preparedness and proposed that the Republican and Progressive parties unite behind “the same standard-bearer and the same principles” during their June conventions, in order to elect a new leader in the fall election.
