OKLAHOMA'S UNITED STATES HOUSE DELEGATION AND PROGRESSIVISM, 1901-1917 By GEORGE O. CARNE~ // .

The "progressive profile" as developed in the Mowry-Chandler-Hofstadter thesis characterizes the progressive as one who possessed distinctive social, economic, and political qualities that distinguished him from the non-progressive. In 1965 in a political history seminar at Central Missouri State College, Warrensburg, Missouri, I tested the above model by using a single United States House representative from the state of Missouri. When I came to the Oklahoma State University in 1967, I decided to expand my test of this model by examining the thirteen representatives from Oklahoma during the years 1901 through 1917. In testing the thesis for Oklahoma, I investigated the social, economic, and political characteristics of the members whom Oklahoma sent to the United States House of Representatives during those years, and scrutinized the role they played in the formulation of domestic policy. In addition, a geographical analysis of the various Congressional districts suggested the effects the characteristics of the constituents might have on the representatives. -
Chapter 18 Video, “The Stockyard Jungle,” Portrays the Horrors of the Meatpacking Industry First Investigated by Upton Sinclair
The Progressive Movement 1890–1919 Why It Matters Industrialization changed American society. Cities were crowded with new immigrants, working conditions were often bad, and the old political system was breaking down. These conditions gave rise to the Progressive movement. Progressives campaigned for both political and social reforms for more than two decades and enjoyed significant successes at the local, state, and national levels. The Impact Today Many Progressive-era changes are still alive in the United States today. • Political parties hold direct primaries to nominate candidates for office. • The Seventeenth Amendment calls for the direct election of senators. • Federal regulation of food and drugs began in this period.

The Road to Election and Initial Impact of FDR Kiana Frederick Leading up to the Election of 1932
The Road to Election and Initial Impact of FDR Kiana Frederick Leading Up to the Election of 1932 ● FDR’s main campaign strategy was to focus the public’s attention on Hoover’s inadequacies and the Nation’s troubles. ● His strategy allowed for him to put down Hoover while promising better days ahead if he was president. ● This promise was NOT backed up with any specific policies or programs that he would change or create. Lead up to the Election of 1932 ● Herbert Hoover was the president prior to the election of 1932 ● Prior to the election, five thousand banks had failed, and by the end of 1932, one third of the nation’s workforce was unemployed. ● Farm income had declined from 12 million dollars in 1929 to 5 million dollars by the end of 1932. ● Herbert Hoover’s popularity decreased significantly because of his inability to reverse the economic collapse. Map of the Election of 1932 The Election of 1932 ● Democrats had only elected one president since 1896 ● Franklin D. Roosevelt v.s Herbert Hoover ● FDR would be a shoo-in for the election ● FDR would promise a “New Deal” for the American people ● The election marked the end of the “Fourth Party System” and would commence the “Fifth Party System” Fourth Party System and Fifth Party System The Fourth party System marks the period in political history that was dominated by the republican party, also known as the “Progressive Era.” The Great Depression served as the springboard. The election in 1932 would be a realigning election giving way to the Fifth Party System. -

AP U.S. History: Unit 7.2 Student Edition The Progressive Era, 1900-1920 I. Road to Progressivism Use space below for notes A. The Greenback Labor Party of the 1870s sought to thwart the power of the "robber barons," support organized labor, and institute inflationary monetary measures. Supported primarily by farmers B. Legacy of Populism 1. Populism failed as a third-party cause but it had political influence for 25 years after its failure in the 1896 election. 2. Populist ideas that carried forward: a. railroad legislation (1903 & 1906) b. income tax (16th Amendment, 1912) c. expanded currency and credit structure (1913, 1916) d. direct election of senators (17th Amendment, 1913) e. initiative, referendum and recall (early 1900s in certain states) f. postal savings banks (1910) g. subtreasury plan (1916) 3. Though Populism was geared to rural life, many of its ideas appealed to urban progressives who sought to regulate trusts, reduce political machine influence, and remedy social injustice. POPULISM PROGRESSIVISM NEW DEAL (1890-1896) (1900-1920) (1933-1938) II. Rise of Progressivism th A. Former Mugwumps (reform-minded Republicans of the late-19 century) desired a return to pre-monopoly America. 1. Men of wealth and social standing lamented the changes in America’s political and social climate due to the rise of industrialists: monopoly, plutocracy and oligarchy. a. Protestant/Victorian ideals of hard work and morality leading to success were now threatened by the “nouveau riche,” the super wealthy, who seemed to thrive on conspicuous consumption. b. Earlier Mugwump leaders of local communities were now eclipsed by political machines catering to big business and immigrants. -

1 Constitutional Choices: Political Parties, Groups, and Prohibition
Constitutional Choices: Political Parties, Groups, and Prohibition Politics in the United States Aaron J. Ley, Ph.D. University of Rhode Island Department of Political Science 206 Washburn Hall Kingston, RI 02881 [email protected] 401.874.7893 Cornell W. Clayton Washington State University School of Politics, Philosophy, and Public Affairs Johnson Tower 814 Pullman, WA [email protected] Abstract: The Prohibition-Era is an exceptional period of American history spawning the only constitutional amendment ever to grant a specific police power to the federal government, as well as the first effort to repeal a constitutional amendment. Most accounts of the Eighteenth and Twenty First Amendments to the U.S. Constitution focus on the temperance movement and interest groups while largely ignoring the role played by major political parties. This is because prohibition split the electoral coalitions of both major parties and support for the amendment was thus characterized as “bipartisan” or “non-partisan” in nature. In this paper, we argue that partisan politics is an integral part of the constitutional politics of this period. The split in the parties’ political coalitions, together with the unsettled and closely divided nature of electoral politics during the transition from the third to the fourth party systems, played an important role, perhaps the key role in enactment of the Eighteenth Amendment, permitting its passage even as neither national party supported it. The Eighteenth Amendment thus is the only constitutional amendment since the founding period to be enacted without supported of one or both of the major political parties. The national political parties also played a role in enactment of the Twenty First Amendment, supporting tacitly or explicitly the repeal of prohibition. -
The American Labor Movement in Modern History and Government Textbooks
DOCUMENT RESUME ED 088 789 SO 007 302 AUTHOR Sloan, Irving TITLE The American Labor Movement in Modern History and Government Textbooks. INSTITUTION American Federation of Teachers, Washington, E.C. PUB DATE [74] NOTE 53p. AVAILABLE FROM American Federation of Teachers, AFL-CIO, 1012 14th St., N. W., Washington, D. C. 20005 (Item No. 598, $0.30) EDRS PRICE MF-$0.75 HC-$3.15 DESCRIPTORS *American Government (Course); *Collective Bargaining; Evaluation Criteria; High School Curriculum; Industrial Relations; Labor Conditions; Labor Force; Labor Legislation; *Labor Unions; Secondary Education; Surveys; Textbook Content; *Textbook Evaluation; Textbooks; *United States History ABSTRACT A survey of nineteen American history high school texts and eight government texts attempts to discover if schools are still failing to teach adequately about labor unions, their history, procedures, and purposes. For each text a summary account is provided of what the text has to say about labor in terms of a set of pre-established criteria. At the end of the review a distillation of all references to labor topics which appear in the text's index is included. This gives an approximate idea of the quantitative coverage of labor in the text; of the tone, emphasis and selections of topics dealt within the text's narrative; and of whether the labor topic is merely cited or listed, or whether it is analyzed and described. An introduction to the survey and review summarizes the labor events and terms regarded as basic to an adequate treatment of organized labor. The summary evaluation placed at, the end of each text's review is based upon the extent to which the text included the items listed in a meaningful way for the student. -
