Despite the opposition of many in his own party, including not only Vare ’ s powerful Philadelphia machine, but also many “ wets ” who revolted and created a separate Liberal Party that autumn — thereby giving the Democratic candidate two lines on the November ballot — Pinchot narrowly prevailed, defeating Hemphill by a margin of 1, 068, 874 to 1, 010, 204.

* Pinchot, G. ( 1910 ) The Fight for Conservation New York: Harcourt Brace.

Pinchot was the first head of the United States Forest Service and a leading spokesman for the sustainable use of natural resources for the benefit of the people.

Pinchot saw conservation as a means of managing the nation's natural resources for long-term sustainable commercial use.

Pinchot is known for reforming the management and development of forests in the United States and for advocating the conservation of the nation's reserves by planned use and renewal.

Pinchot relied heavily upon Brandis ' advice for introducing professional forest management in the U. S. and on how to structure the Forest Service when Pinchot established it in 1905.

While working for the transfer of the federal forests from the United States Department of the Interior to his agency in the Department of Agriculture, Pinchot introduced better forestry methods into the operations of the private owners, large and small, by helping them make working plans and by demonstrating good practices on the ground.

Pinchot was generally opposed to preservation for the sake of wilderness or scenery, a fact perhaps best illustrated by the important support he offered to the damming of Hetch Hetchy Valley in Yosemite National Park.

Taft later dismissed Pinchot for speaking out against his policies and those of Richard Ballinger, Secretary of the Interior.

Pinchot had always preached of a " working forest " for working people and small scale logging at the edge, preservation at the core.

Pinchot ran for Senate in 1914 on the Progressive Party ticket.
