They had a strong belief in society being capable of improving on its own. They were able to influence a wide variety of voters due to the different directional views they had on a prosperus U.S. The first view was,"antimonopoly", fearing concentrated power and the urge to limit and dispere authority and wealth. The second view was the importance of socoial cohesion, as Brinkley says,"the beliefs that indivivduals are not autonomus but part of a great web of social relationships" (p.582). The success of an individual depended on the welfare of society. So, if society was bad then that meant that theirs no progress for the individual. The third belief was organization and effeiciency, social order was a mean of using intelligents as a guide for social and economic gain. Take the example of the pre-World War I progressives were elitists too; they were sure in their convictions that expertise could improve the processes of government and that rational discussion would lead to an enlightened consensus that would promote social progress in the interests of all. During this period, most developed economies made the transition from rural to urban and from agrarian to manufacturing economies. It is a period when sectional interests, including many of the modern professions, developed. The Progressive Era is particularly marked by the conjunction of scientific knowledge and traditional values. It is a period when science and technology were thought capable of providing for the material wants of all and that the issue of social justice could be resolved through knowledge. This conjunction provides the setting in which "truth" is seen as an achievable state. The modern professions emerged from this milieu as occupations concerned with the moral and technical mysteries of life. The exemplars of the professional model were medicine, the law, and teaching. The successful professions lay claim to areas of expertise that were used to define what is normal or "right," mediating the client's individual needs and the values institutionalized in society.
