Excerpt from Third Party Movements Since the Civil War: With Special Reference to Iowa, a Study in Social Politics
This volume is the outgrowth of plans to make available through the publications of The State Historical Society of Iowa the history of political parties in this Commonwealth. Thus the book is related to the series of studies on the history of political parties in Iowa before 1860 made by Dr. Louis Pelzer and published several years ago in The Iowa Journal of History and Politics.
At the outset Dr. Haynes aimed to confine his studies rather strictly to the history of third parties in Iowa; but as his researches progressed it became evident that the scope of the proposed volume would have to be enlarged, since the movements of minor parties in Iowa were found everywhere to be inextricably bound up with the growth of these parties in other States. Accordingly, the final product of the researches of the author is a history of third party movements in the United States since the Civil War with special reference to Iowa. That such a volume should emanate from this State is both logical and fitting, since Iowa is in the very heart of the region in which the new movements have originated and has furnished the most capable leadership in such movements.
