Charles McCarthy听(1873 鈥�1921) was a political scientist, Progressive听reformer, and briefly, an听American football听coach. He is credited with founding the first legislative reference library in the United States. McCarthy authored听The Wisconsin Idea, a summary of Progressive philosophy and thinking. Many of the reforms he advocated focused on removing corruption from politics and waste and inefficiency from government, the recall of judicial decisions, easier amendment of the听Constitution, and women's suffrage as means to accomplish this. It also called for improvements in social welfare for women and children, workers' compensation, farm relief, mandatory health insurance in industry, and new inheritance and income taxes. McCarthy鈥檚 papers primarily cover the years 1896鈥�1967.

This edition is part of a series of the papers of five major reformers in the 鈥淧rogressive Era,鈥� 1850鈥�1950: Richard T. Ely, Edward A. Ross, Charles McCarthy, John R. Commons, and Charles R. Van Hise. Each collection is available separately.
