In what ways was a model leader for state-level Progressivism?
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: Good essays will stress La Follette's ability to make his state a "laboratory for democracy." They will point to specific reforms such as direct primaries, railroad commissions, the merit system for state employees, and the reliance on experts from the University of Wisconsin. Better essays will point to other state leaders like Albert B. Cummins in Iowa, Hiram W. Johnson in California, Theodore Roosevelt in New York, and Woodrow Wilson in New Jersey.
