A scarce item. The Progressive Party (1948-1955 ) was an progressive liberal party which served the campaign of Henry A. Wallace for President .  Wallace had been a Vice-President under Franklin D. Roosevelt.  In 1946 Wallace was Secretary of Agriculture under Truman, and Truman fired him due to Wallace's public opposition to some of Truman's policies.  The party platform included racial desegregation, the establishment of a national health insurance system, expansion of welfare, and an easing of tensions with Soviet Russia during the early years of the Cold War.  This last bit was especially controversial at the time, as the party was seen to be a haven for Communist sympathizers and was possibly influenced by the Communists.  The 1948 Progressive National Convention was held in Philadelphia over July 23-25, 1948.  Truman won the election, and in 1950 Wallace revised some of his foreign policy views when the Communists invaded Korea.  This led to the Progressive Party turning their support to Vincent Hallinan.
