Theodore Roosevelt explains why political parties were created and why the Republican and Democratic parties have failed the American people by becoming too involved with business and corrupt practices. The new Progressive Party has no such ties and is to be seen as the “instrument of the people.” The Progressive cause, Roosevelt asserts, is the righteous cause and he sees the great honor in representing the party and will not fail to live up to that cause.
