Abstract
After eight energetic years in the White House, Theodore Roosevelt retires from public life, at least that is his stated intention. His hand-picked successor, William Howard Taft, easily wins the presidential election of 1908, but he is not a progressive Republican like Roosevelt. He is much better suited to be a Supreme Court Justice which he eventually becomes. A number of independent and private progressive organizations form during this period. Robert LaFollette, Wisconsin senator, becomes the leader of progressive Republicans until Roosevelt returns in 1910 and wants the job back.
