In 1918 Teddy Roosevelt was red-baiting Woodrow Wilson as a crypto-communist. The chances that he'd ever join the Democrats are zero.
Alf Landon was a Teddy Roosevelt progressive Republican. Just because you were progressive in 1912 didn't mean you supported FDR or the New Deal.
Although I don't know who he voted for in 1912 (Landon voted for TR), another progressive Republican was...Herbert Hoover. Edit: the biography I'm reading said Hoover donated to the Bull Moose party in 1912.
