Following the national convention of the Progressive
Party in Chicago during the first week of August 1912, the delegates
returned to their home states to quickly prepare for the election
and to create state-level Progressive Parties as adjuncts to the
national Party. These state delegates often in turn held a state
convention of the Party, and, as in the case of New York state,
adopted their own state version of the Party platform. Reproduced
here is the New York State Progressive Party platform, adopted
during the state convention, which took place in Syracuse, N.
Y., on Sept. 5, 1912. This seven-page document tracks the national
platform, but contains some slight differences in emphasis and
wording.
