Answer:

The Progressive Party was popularly nicknamed the "Bull Moose Party" when Roosevelt boasted that he felt "strong as a bull moose" after losing the Republican nomination in June 1912 at the Chicago convention. ... In the 1908 presidential election, Roosevelt helped ensure that he would be succeeded by Secretary of War Taft.
