1912 Election and Progressivism

“From the Flehinger book you have learned that “progressive” was a popular political label in 1912. Considering the four presidential candidates Woodrow Wilson, Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft and Eugene Debs, please write an essay describing which candidate least deserved the label “progressive” and why. To write this essay you should arrive at an understanding of what “progressive” meant in 1912 – something different from what it means today; you should be able to say why all candidates should have laid claim to the label in one way or another, and then explain why the policies of the candidates you’ve chosen to write about fall so far short of the description. Be specific as to the nature of non-progressive policies, and explain why the candidate would have described them as progressive anyway. Cite documents in the book to make your case.”
