This original newspaper contains 3 large dramatic front page political ads relating to ex-PRESIDENT TEDDY ROOEVELT giving a speech that night in the BOSTON ARENA. Very dramatic political display newspaper in the year that TEDDY ROOSEVELT broke from the REPUBLICAN PARTY to be nominated by the PROGRESSIVE PARTY, known widely as the "Bull Moose" party.This is the BEST display newspaper I have seen of Teddy Roosevelt's political effort to gain the Republican nomination for a 3rd term in 1912. William H Taft would become the Republican nominee in 1912 and Teddy Roosevelt would go on to form the Progressive Party (the "Bull Moose" Party) but lose the election to Democrat Woodrow Wilson.This issue also contains much coverage of the aftermath of the sinking of the RMS Titanic on its maiden voyageThe Progressive Party was a third party in the United States formed in 1912 by former president Theodore Roosevelt after he lost the presidential nomination of the Republican Party to his former protégé rival, incumbent president William Howard Taft. The new party was known for taking advanced positions on progressive reforms and attracting leading national reformers. The party was also ideologically deeply connected with America's indigenous radical-liberal tradition.Roosevelt had selected Taft, his Secretary of War, to succeed him as the presidential candidate because he thought Taft closely mirrored his own positions. Taft easily won the 1908 presidential election over William Jennings Bryan. Roosevelt became disappointed by Taft's increasingly conservative policies. Roosevelt was outraged when Taft used the Sherman Anti-Trust Act to sue U.S. Steel for an action that President Roosevelt had explicitly approved. They became openly hostile and Roosevelt decided to seek the presidency in early 1912. Taft was already being challenged by Progressive leader senator Robert La Follette of Wisconsin. Most of La Follette's supporters switched to Roosevelt, leaving the Wisconsin senator embittered.Nine of the states where progressive elements were strongest had set up preference primaries, which Roosevelt won, but Taft had worked far harder than Roosevelt to control the Republican Party's organizational operations and the mechanism for choosing its presidential nominee, the 1912 Republican National Convention. For example, he bought up the votes of delegates from the Southern states, copying the technique Roosevelt himself used in 1904. The Republican National Convention rejected Roosevelt's protests. Roosevelt and his supporters walked out and the convention re-nominated Taft.Good condition. This listing includes the complete entire original newspaper, NOT just a clipping or a page of it.
