He also talked about accuracy and " how to hide the dull stuff." Ausenbaugh explained what to look for in an interview and how to prepare ques­ tions ahead of time through research.

  • Robert Worth Bingham and Louisville Progressivism 1905 1910
    ROBERT WORTH BINGHAM AND LOUISVILLE PROGRESSIVISM, 1905-1910 BY WILLIAM E. ELLIS* Progressivism continues to fascinate and bewilder American historians. From the 1890's through the era of World War I, a reformist mood compelled many urban middle class citizens to examine their society. Debates continue today over whether the movement was actually progressive or if anything of substance was really accomplished.1 The political history of Kentucky in the late 19th and early 20th centuries has often been relegated to the back pages or to footnotes by historians •vho write from a southern or national perspective. Little mention has been made of progressivism in Kentucky. Among Kentucky politicians of this era, only William Goebel demanded national attention. But historians can not even agree in their in- terpretation of Goebel. Was he a progressive, an urban political boss, or just another southern demagogue? Historians have not looked deeply enough into this period for signs of progressivlsm in the Commonwealth. If no "Progressive Movement" existed in this state, at least numerous individuals fit the general progressive model. Helm Bruce, a Louisville lawyer and leader in the contested mayoral election of 1905, qualified as a progressive in his fight against an urban political machine. Nicholas Burckel recently in- cluded Kentuckians James B. McCreary and A. O. Stanley in his study of "Progressive Governors and the Border States." Louis- ville ministers E. Y. Mullins and E. L. Powell led the progressive elements within the Southern Baptist and Disciples of Christ de- nominations. Patrick Henry Callahan, president of the Louisville Varnish Company and an active Catholic layman, followed the ideals of progressivism until his death in 1940.
