Answer 1

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The correct answer is Robert M. La Follette. He was the governor of Wisconsin at the time and the Wisconsin Idea was made up of many political reforms that helped change labor rights to help prevent tyranny of corrupt business leaders and monopolies. This is has been a big ideology in Wisconsin for many,many years, and it is still used in the mission statement of the University of Wisconsin today!
