Bird Says Roosevelt Favored by Progressive Wing
Charles Sumner Bird argues that without Roosevelt’s nomination the Republicans risk Wilson's reelection. He cites a letter to George W. Perkins urging Progressive action as the National Progressive Committee prepares to meet in Chicago on January 11. The letter stresses a large anti Democratic sentiment among Progressives and a willingness to vote Democratic if needed.

The letter is signed by Charles Sumner Bird, dated January 1916.
