A Time for Change

• Urban population is growing.• Railroads, transportation, telegraph, and

telephone are improving communication.• Increase in industries throughout Texas.• Government needed to keep up with the

times, thus a demand for REFORMS.

Women’s Suffrage

Texas women, during this time, were becoming increasingly more active in politics and their ultimate goal was SUFFRAGE (the right to vote).

They would fight the legislature for many years until 1918 when the state let them vote in primaries

and then 1919 in all elections when the 19th Amendment was ratified. Annie Webb Blanton became the

first woman elected to state office.

Prohibition

Texans grew increasingly worried about alcohol and its effects on

society. Many believed that PROHIBITION and TEMPERANCE were the solution. Many women spearheaded the movements to

make counties either “dry” or “wet”. Eventually, the state ratified the U.S.’s 18th Amendment which prohibited the manufacture, sale,

and transportation of alcohol.

The Grange & Farmer’s Alliance

The Grange was an organization that came about after the war to

provide support for local farmers. These farmers worked together to buy in bulk and help James Hogg win the election for governor in 1890. Their goal was to end unfair railroad practices

such as MONOPOLIES.

James Hogg

James Hogg, a champion for the ordinary citizen, became

governor in 1890 and made it his mission to end illegal big business practices with REFORMS. He gave land back to the citizens, limited debt, lengthened the school year and increased school funding. His

reforms were known as Hogg’s Laws.

The Populist PartyPOPULISM was a national movement of

rural citizens still struggling through the growth of industries. Their goal was to

increase gov’t regulation by forming their own political party called the

People’s Party, or the Populist Party.Made up of farmers, ranchers, and

laborers, their demands eventually were adopted in latter years by the larger

Democratic party.

Progressive Movement

Progressives were social reformers who wanted the gov’t to run more

efficiently to improve the economy and reduce waste and corruption.

Progressives pushed for change to protect Texas laborers and labor

unions. These pushes resulted in new laws about work hours and child labor laws. Other issues were state banking system, better prisons, fair property

taxes, and food/drug safety standards.

NAACPThe National Association for the Advancement of

Colored People, or the NAACP, was created to work against segregation practices that affected

the daily lives of African Americans. The first chapter in Texas was founded in Houston in

1912.
