Progressive Party electors in Missouri can only be placed on the ballot by petition, and under these circumstances Roosevelt cannot win the state. However, under the arrangement previously suggested by Governor Hadley, Roosevelt could secure Missouri’s electoral vote. Hadley views progressive Republicans in Missouri and the Progressive Party as allies that can cooperate to elect candidates with progressive principles.
