Q.) What were the implications of Roosevelt creating the Bull Moose Party?
A.) While the Bull Moose Party lost at the national level in 1912, it continued putting candidates on the ballot at the state and local elections. However, these candidates did poorly in 1914. The party did hold a convention in 1916 and nominated Roosevelt to run again. When he refused, the party tried to give the nomination to Charles Evan Hughes which caused the party to be entirely dissolved.

1. The climate of the article is that the business men were getting want they wished for and wanted. This article is showing the corruption that is going on in the big businesses.
2. I think this article is legitimate because it is showing the corruption of the big businesses and that people should be cautious with the environment around them.
3. Once the public found out about what was going on, the people went to the banks to check on their money.
The Rise of the Standard Oil Company
1. Mr. Rockefeller i9s setting the tone of this article by saying that his Standard Oil business is too powerful and will take control of every oil refinery. He is stating that nobody could compete with him and all of the oil refinery businesses should give up and sell their company to him or else they will pay and be taken over by Rockefeller.
2. I believe this excerpt is legitimate because this is what happened back in the day. The upper class businesses took over other related business and gave them cash or stocks of their own business to make money off of.
3. When the government found out about what is going on with the Standard Oil Company, they did nothing about it and let this powerful company run by a wealthy man.
Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle (1906) attacked the meat-packing industry
1. In 1906, the meat companies had poor working conditions and the meat was dirty and unhealthy to eat. Many people became sick from the meat and diseases were being formed.
2. I believe this excerpt is legitimate because this is what working conditions were like in the early 20th century: very poor, dirty, problems with the building and many more.
3. The government took control over this situation and made working conditions healthier and cleaner.
Teddy Roosevelt & the Square Deal
1. Teddy Roosevelt was the 26th President from 1901 to 1909. He was called the “Bully Pulpit” as no president since Lincoln. He loved to lead and to fight those he felt were not acting in America’s best interests. Roosevelt ended the Coal Strike, took part in the Northern Security Case, pushed through the Hepburn Act.
2. Roosevelt called his program the Square Deal. He asked for: (1) an attack on the “serious social problems” facing the nation; (2) legislation to allow the regulation of big business; (3) broader control of the railroads; and (4) conservation of natural resources.
3. Pure Food and Drug Act- Creation of the Food and Drug Administration, which was entrusted with the responsibility of testing all foods and drugs destined for human consumption. The requirement for prescriptions from licensed physicians before a patient could purchase certain drugs. The requirement of label warnings on habit-forming drugs.
City and State Government Reform
1. Robert La Follette of Wisconsin was elected as a Republican. His Wisconsin plan was direct primary to give voters control over candidates.
2. There was the “Direct elections of Senators” because the people had the control to decide who they wanted to become Senator of their state.
3. Initiative was that only a select amount of people initiate laws into legislation. Referendum is that the states could pass the laws passed by the initiatives. Recall is that the voters could reelect former officials.

1. The new freedom created the Federal Reserve System and it noted issued a flexible new currency to the banking system.

2. The Progressives helped out different cultures and met their needs.
Progressive Assignment
Yellow Journalism is a term first coined during the famous newspaper wars between William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer II.
Pulitzer's paper the New York World and Hearst's New York Journal changed the content of newspapers adding more sensationalized stories and increasing the use of drawings and cartoons.
As more cartoons were being published in newspapers, Pulitzer began to publish a cartoon of his own that he titled "The Yellow Kid" in 1896. The cartoon was created by R.F. Outcault and became one of many objects fought over between Hearst and Pulitzer during their rivalry. Hearst later took Outcault and his cartoon from Pulitzer by offering him an outrageous salary. Pulitzer published another version of the cartoon very similar to "The Yellow Kid" to continue competing with Hearst.
With so much competition between the newspapers, the news was over-dramatized and altered to fit story ideas that publishers and editors thought would sell the most papers and stir the most interest for the public so that news boys could sell more papers on street corners.
They often used the "Yellow Kid" to sensationalize stories and discredit the stories of other newspapers. The "Yellow Kid" was also used to sway public opinion on important issues such as the Spanish-American war. Newspapers of the era did not practice the objectivity that newspapers today strive for.
Many historians believe that Hearst in particular played a major role in the American involvement with Cuba during the Spanish-American War. Hearst saw the war as a prime opportunity to boost his newspaper sales. He was the first newspaper to station a team of reporters in Cuba to monitor the events happening there. Hearst published articles of brutality, cruelty and inadequate care to sway public opinion regarding America's involvement in the war.
Two reporters, Richard Harding Davis and Frederick Remington, were the highest paid reporters for Hearst stationed in Cuba. When Remington sent a telegram telling Hearst that there was not much going on there, Hearst replied with his famous telegram,” You furnish the pictures and I'll furnish the war." This is just a small example of Hearst sensationalized practices (Book # 1 and 2)
Hearst also became very involved with the war itself, after much public swaying through the dramatized stories of his paper; he eventually pushed the President to sign a bill officially entering America into the war.
1. This article is exposing yellow journalism and how it changed the newspaper. Yellow journalism was all about adding interesting stories, pictures, and cartoons to spice up the newspaper and get more people to read about it. The journalists added a lot of drama because of the amount of competition between the newspaper companies.
2. I believe this article is legitimate because it describes how the newspapers changed because of yellow journalism and we still have it going on today.
