Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Progressive Movement: A Non-Partisan, Comprehensive Discussion of Current Tendencies in American Politics
So much attention has been given to the rise and development of the Progressive party in the United States that there has been a tendency to overlook the larger and more fundamental movement of which it is a part. Although this movement had struck its roots far back in the past and was already vigorous and grow ing when the campaign of 1912 began, the sudden, meteoric appearance of the new party, the striking per sonality of its candidate for President, and the wide variety of issues raised, thrust the movement itself into the background. The result has been a confusion of the party with the movement, a belief that they advocate precisely the same principles, and a conviction that they must stand or fall together.
