National Progressive Party outlined by Roosevelt in Oyster Bay
Col Roosevelt defines a contract with the people for a practical progressive platform and marks the name National Progressive as the likely party title. He plans a Chicago convention for August 5 to unveil the platform and his personal candidacy, while stressing unity and concrete reforms. Roosevelt rejects a Kansas trip due to busy party work and notes Illinois support and New York prospects. He also backs a nation controlled lakes-to-gulf deep waterway using Panama Canal machinery to tame Mississippi floods, arguing it serves unity and economic power.
