Minutes of the December 2, 1914, meeting of the Executive Committee of the Progressive National Committee. State reports were delivered and a general discussion was held regarding the future of the national organization. In view of the Progressive Party’s showing in the recent election, with 1,750,000 votes in 37 states, the Committee issued a public statement reaffirming Progressive principles and announcing the date of the party’s next convention. The statement made particular reference to the Progressive Party’s stance on the tariff and called for the creation of a “permanent expert non-partisan tariff commission.” Senator Dixon resigned as chairman of the National Committee and Victor Murdock was recommended as temporary chairman until the National Committee could select a new chair.
