Wallace Independent Bid Emerges From Progressive Groups
A movement to nominate former Vice President Henry Wallace for president on an independent ticket in 1948 was launched by the Progressive Citizens of America and echoed by Illinois Progressive party leaders. They warn a split among liberal forces if the bid proceeds. American Labor Party leaders oppose it, predicting a major split. Wallace could not comment. The ALP previously polled nearly 500,000 votes in New York in 1944. The Illinois Progressive party formed last summer backed a Cook County judicial slate whose top candidate received 313,848 votes.
