- Description:
- New Hampshire's progressives emerged in the state's Republican Party in the late 19th century as a reaction to the political power of the Boston and Maine Railroad. The movement became prominent in 1906 when novelist Winston Churchill unsuccessfully sought the gubernatorial nomination, but managed to create progressivism's power base. In 1910 the progressive candidate, Robert P. Bass, became governor. In many ways the progressives were similar to regular Republicans, although they were interested in some civil rights questions.
