Political Campaign National Progressive Party NYS Convention 1912 Ribbon Medal with a MOOSE. The United States Progressive Party of 1912 was a political party created by a split in the Republican Party in the presidential election 1912 . It was formed by Theodore Roosevelt when he lost the Republican nomination to Taft and pulled his delegates out of the convention. When reporters suggested that he was no longer fit for the office, he retorted that he was "fit as a bull moose" (giving the party its nickname), and he called his own convention and nominated a national ticket with California Governor Hiram Johnson as his vice-presidential running mate. State parties also nominated slates in most northern states. The great majority of Republican governors, congressmen, editors and local leaders refused to join the new party, even if they had supported Roosevelt before. Even the Vice-Presidential nominee, who had been elected Governor in California in 1910 by a grassroots progressive movement, remained a member of the Republican Party. However, many independent reformers signed up. Two important activists were Gifford Pinchot and his brother Amos Pinchot . The Progressive Party also endorsed a number of sympathetic candidates from the Republican and Democratic parties in state and federal elections from 1912 to 1916.
