Minutes of the May 10, 1916, meeting of the Executive Committee of the Progressive National Committee. A statement was issued to the Press affirming the Committee’s January 1916 proposal that Progressives and Republicans unite behind a leader who could unseat President Woodrow Wilson and who would respond more forcefully in world affairs. The statement noted that many Republicans and independents had responded favorably to the proposal, but the Republican Leadership had not seemed to take up the call. The Committee pledged the Party’s willingness to cooperate and stated that should the effort fail, responsibility for the failure would rest “on other shoulders than ours.”
