What is Justice and humanity : Edward F. Dunne, Illinois progressive about?
<p>An Irish Catholic Democrat from Chicago, Edward Fitzsimons Dunne was one of the most consistent champions of the humane liberalism known as progressivism that dominated American politics between the 1890s and the 1920s. A close political associate of William Jennings Bryan, Clarence Darrow, Jane Addams, and Raymond Robins, Dunne has been labeled Chicago’s first truly reformist mayor and Illinois’s most progressive governor. At his death, political insiders compared his role in Illinois to that of Woodrow Wilson on the national scene.</p> <p>As chief executive of Illinois from 1913 to 1917, Dunne supported a variety of progressive reforms with far-reaching effects. He favored woman suffrage, argued for expanded state responsibility for overseeing workmen’s compensation and teachers’ pensions, and initiated large-scale improvements in the state’s roads. He also supported the creation of several regulatory boards and commissions, including the Public Utility Commission, the Efficiency and Economy Commission, and the Legislative Reference Bureau. More or less independently of the legislature, Dunne encouraged major reforms in the operation of state prisons and juvenile facilities.</
