Speech to the Progressive National Committee
In lieu of answering the thousands of letters he has received on the topic, Theodore Roosevelt addresses why he declines the nomination for President by the Progressive Party in this statement. He begins by complimenting the work of the Progressive Party from 1912 on but says the Progressive National Organization no longer offers “the means whereby we can make these convictions effective in our national life.” He feels common action should be sought out under the umbrella of the Republican Party to defeat President Woodrow Wilson.
