FORMATION OF FARMER-LABOR-PROGRESSIVE FEDERATION AND THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY
Scope and Content Note: People in the coop and labor movements, and others politically left of the La Follettes, were interested in setting up more radical organization than what the La Follettes envisioned. Henry Ohl of the Wisconsin State Federation of Labor called a meeting to this end in Appleton and, later, in Oshkosh. Attended by representatives of nine organizations. This evolved into the Farmer-Labor-Progressive Federation (FLPF). The representatives drafted a platform and decided to run people in the Progressive primary and then support whomever won the primary.
