Senator Beveridge’s speech, delivered at the Hotel Astor, New York City, on February 12, 1913, discusses the current state of confusion and division in both the Republican and Democratic political parities. Beveridge argues that state of affairs requires a new party, the Progressive Party, and contributes its establishment to Theodore Roosevelt. Throughout, he invokes the legacy of Abraham Lincoln and the Progressive Party’s fulfillment of his aspirations and principles.
