From what I read, it was part of a progressive wave. The heck of it is, every previously appointed Senator who ran for election in 1914 was elected!

From what I read, it was part of a progressive wave. Call my cynical, but I'd call it part of a mass media wave, even if it was just print. The elites figured out that buying a paper was cheap influence toward instituting centralized power to "solve problems" or to "weed out corruption."
