==Progressive Politics==
==Progressive Politics==
Almost all major politicians declared their adherence to some progressive measures. In politics the most prominent national figures were Republicans [[Theodore Roosevelt]] and [[Robert LaFollette]] and Democrats [[William Jennings Bryan]] and [[Woodrow Wilson]]. On the far left, the [[IWW]] ("Wobblies") opposed Progressivism because they wanted to destroy capitalism and progressivism wanted to strengthen it. The main labor unions, led by [[Samuel Gompers]] of the [[AFL]], were active supporters of the progressive Movement, as were most businessmen.
