Jane Addams and the Progressive Party Campaign for President in 1912
This article examines the activities of Jane Addams and the Progressive party campaign for President of the United States in 1912.

In this study, we redress this sit…

I argue that red scare practices and broad social changes played decisive roles in the campaign and are more generally relevant for underst…
