The National Progressive Republican League

The National Progressive Republican League was a political group in the early 20th century that sought to promote reform-minded and progressive ideas within the Republican Party. It aimed to support candidates and policies emphasizing government regulation, social justice, and modernization, contrasting with traditional party conservatism. The league played a role in shaping progressive politics by advocating for changes like improved labor rights, anti-corruption measures, and greater government intervention in the economy. While it was influential for a time, it eventually merged with other reform efforts, helping to push the Republican Party toward more progressive stances during that era.
