The Progressive Era in Texas Reforms, Women’s Suffrage, Prohibition, and Discrimination

Progressive Movement in Texas Population growth in the cities brought in new problems and forced Texans to deal with existing ones. The Progressive Movement attempted to reform (solve) these problems.

Progressive Movement Reforms Reforms included: 1. new form of city government (after Galveston hurricane), 2. the Terrell Election Law, 3. women’s suffrage, 4. prohibition, 5. evangelical and other social services organizations

Progressive Reforms Terrell Election Law was passed in 1903 and remains the basic voting law in Texas today. This Law ensured: 1. elections would be carried out fairly 2. secret ballot voting 3. restricted campaigning near voting booths 4. primary elections held before the last general election

Progressive Reforms Women were still working to reform election laws and gain voting rights. 1918 - Governor William P. Hobby granted Texas women voting rights in Texas primary elections. 1920 – 19th Amendment passed gave women constitutional voting rights in elections.

Progressive Reforms Progressive reformers targeted the sale of alcoholic beverages as the center of social ills (no-good). They argued that saloons were associated with illegal activities. Groups including Women’s Christian Temperance Union (W.C.T.U.) claimed alcohol was associated with illegal activities like gambling, theft, and left many families in poverty. 1918 -Texas approved a statewide prohibition law. 1920 – 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution made prohibition the law of the land.

Progressive Reforms Progressives focused on social morality, a return to religion, and community service. The Young Men’s Christian Association (Y.M.C.A.) was a very influential organization that successfully promoted “daily evangelical Christianity,” while promoting good sportsmanship in athletic contests in gyms. The YMCA remains much the same today.

Discrimination in Texas Democratic Party passed Jim Crow laws, that discriminated against African Americans and many Mexican-Americans. These laws blocked these people from using public hotels, restaurants, and attending entertainment events. Discrimination was present in housing and education, too. African Americans, as well as Mexican-Americans lived in sections of towns with inadequate housing, lighting, sewage, and police protection. Children attended separate schools which were often poorly constructed, lacking basic school equipment and supplies.

Discrimination in Texas Racial unrest led to violence. Those accused of minor crimes were sometimes lynched by mobs (usually K.K.K.). Ku Klux Klan was a politically powerful group during this time. 1902 - Democratic Party requires payment of a poll tax and adopts a “whites only” restriction for the primary election. These bar most African Americans from voting and/or participating in politics.

NAACP and Mutualistas 1912 – In Houston, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (N.A.A.C.P.) began. They worked to end discrimination and create racial equality. Mexican Americans joined labor unions and formed mutualistas (mutual assistance societies) to provide community service with weddings, funerals, and aid to the poor.
