Proceedings of the Provisional National Progressive Committee held August 3, 1912. Following introductory remarks by the Chairman, Senator Joseph M. Dixon of Montana, the committee took up the task of seating delegates to the convention on the temporary roll. The question whether territorial delegates would be allowed to be seated and/or to vote during the convention was discussed (pages 12-48), resulting in delegates from Hawaii, Alaska, and the District of Columbia being given the right to participate in debate but not vote, until the Committee on Rules determined their status. Colonel John M. Parker of Louisiana tried to introduce the question of making the Progressive Party a “white man’s party,” but the committee moved on to complete the temporary roll (pages 49-52). Delegates from states where there was no contest were seated (page 53). Five states had sent more than one set of delegates, and these contested cases were referred to a committee of seven for investigation (pages 54-61). Arguments were heard from Alabama (pages 62-108), Florida (pages 108-153), Georgia (pages 154-155), and Mississippi (pages 156-199). The proceedings having run late into the evening, Ohio was deferred until the following day. Most of the contests stemmed from issues of race in the southern states.
