They felt the cities should own and operate the utilities, therefore, to eliminate the monopolies, which kept the rich from getting richer. They were successful in “passing two important reforms to break the power of the political machines: the direct primary and at large voting”. The at large voting added seats to the council, and put an end to the all ethnic neighborhood voting power. The Progressives supported the bill, which Congress passed in 1912 to directly elect Senators. Humanization was an issue that was really sought for.
