The Roosevelts

Education Clip Bull Moose Party

Taft as president is popular, but is a disappointment to Roosevelt for not carrying out the Progressive reforms as he would.

Primaries indicated Republicans wanted change to Roosevelt, but Party convention gave delegates to Taft. Roosevelt pulls out and forms his own political party.
