La Follette's Progressive Party

La Follette's Progressive Party was a political organization founded by Wisconsin Senator Robert La Follette in 1924. It aimed to promote progressive ideas such as government reform, regulation of big business, and social justice. The party sought to challenge both the Republican and Democratic parties by advocating for policies like labor rights, anti-corruption measures, and political transparency. Though it was short-lived, the party played a significant role in advocating for progressive reforms during the 1920s and reflected La Follette's commitment to improving democracy and reducing undue corporate influence in government.
