At this meeting the Committee unanimously adopted a statement which roundly criticized President Woodrow Wilson's "peace-at-any-price doctrine." It called for military preparedness and proposed that the Republican and Progressive parties unite behind "the same standard-bearer and the same principles" during their June conventions, in order to elect a new leader in the fall election. See Edmund Morris' "Colonel Roosevelt" for an in-depth blow by blow account of the move toward the eventual nominee, Charles Evans Hughes.
