Letter from Gifford Pinchot

Gifford Pinchot outlines the direction the country must take after World War I: the creation of a progressive platform, a victorious election, and progressive laws passed. Pinchot believes the election of 1920 is second in importance only to the peace treaty itself, and he desires a platform that can “secure to our people the full fruits of their great war sacrifice.” If the “Old Guard” forms the platform, they will not be successful; “the Republican party cannot win in 1920 unless it is genuinely progressive.”
