Kansas Progressives plan to use pressure in May convention
Kansas Progressives will meet in Topeka on May 29 to issue an ultimatum to the two old parties. They aim to keep the Bull Moose ticket off the November ballot by pushing humanitarian legislation, broader mothers pension, higher school and hospital funding, and national suffrage and prohibition amendments. The group expects Republican support to carry Kansas, and may sway delegates to Hughes or Roosevelt at the GOP convention.
