Changes

In Wisconsin the Republican Party was split into two factions after 1900, the conservatives and the "Progressives" led by [[Robert LaFollette]].  LaFollette broke bitterly with Roosevelt in 1912, but stayed in the Republican party. In 1924 LaFollette ran for President on his own ticket, also named the '''Progressive Party'''.  It carried only the state of Wisconsin, but was strong among labor union members, especially railroad workers. It did not run state or local candidates, and disappeared with LaFollette's death in 1925.

In 1934 LaFollette's sons set up a "Progressive Party" in Wisconsin that was successful for a few years.  Two of Wisconsin's governors during this time, Philip LaFollette and Orland Loomis, came from the Progressive Party, as did some Congressmen.  This version of the party was also active in California, getting one member (Franck Havenner) elected to the U.S. Congress from California in 1936.  The Progressive Party candidate, Raymond Haight, also polled respectably well in the 1934 California governor's race, drawing from moderate Democrats unhappy with the takeover of their party's nomination by the leftist campaign of [[Upton Sinclair]] on the Democratic ticket.  In 1936, Philip LaFollette attempted to move beyond Wisconsin and California and launch a National Progressive Party, but this failed.  The Progressive Party of Wisconsin disbanded in 1946, while the California branch last ran candidates in 1940.
