 | | The Progressive party was the name for three separate political organizations in U.S. history. |
 | | The party's 1912 platform called for numerous social and political reforms, including the conservation of natural and human resources, women's suffrage, popular election of U.S. senators, and the initiative, referendum, and recall. |
 | | In 1924 the Committee of 48, custodians of the Progressive party label, united with the Socialist party, the railroad unions, and the American Federation of Labor behind the independent candidacy of Robert M. La Follette. |
