Wilson a Progressive Before Party Was Born
Eighteen months before the birth of the Progressive party Woodrow Wilson then governor of New Jersey gave this definition of a progressive at a Kansas Society of New York address on January 20 1911. He said a radical goes too far a conservative not far enough a reactionary won t go at all and he must be a progressive recognizing new facts adjusting policies to change as conditions change. Under Democratic influences since 1904 the six year end of standpatism, 90 percent of Progressive reform has become law. Invisible government is driven from power and will have no place in Washington while Wilson remains in the White House.
