The right to recall officials from office
They allow citizens more influence over the laws and leaders of their state.
The Progressive Movement (1900-1920) was basically a reform movement. The movement drew its ideals and inspiration from the writings of Thomas Jefferson and reform groups that had attracted some attention in the 19th Century. The progressives were successful in part because they were able to rally the better part of a generation to their ideas about reform. Many of their ideas were adopted by the two major parties. While not all progressives supported all progressive reforms, the basic objectives of the movement included the following: Destruction of the monopolistic power of the major corporations and banks in America. More representative government at all political levels in local, state, and national government. An active government that would take the initiative in reform. The right of labor to organize and secure a decent salary and safe working conditions. More economic and political rights for women. Regulation of child labor. The direct election of United States Senators. A graduated income tax that would fall hardest on the wealthy and least on the poor. Enactment of the initiative, referendum, and recall. Reform of city government Nationalization of railroads and banks. Government owned and operated local utilities. Consumer protection laws to prevent the sale of unsafe food and drugs. Progressives were found in all levels of society including the ranks of the very wealthy, the very poor, the middle class, and minority groups. Progressives were politicians, businessmen, workers, artists, and professionals. The progressive agenda was not an attempt to gain equality for all races and individuals in society. While minorities were represented among the leadership, most progressives were white, anglo-saxon protestants (WASPs), whose American roots were established by many generations.

Progressives were interested in establishing a more transparent and accountable government which would work to improve U.S. society. These reformers favored such policies as civil service reform, food safety laws, and increased political rights for women and U.S. workers.
The right to recall officials from office
They advocated/earned: referendum, recall, initiative, direct primaries, direct election of senators (17th Amendment), and the Australian ballot. I suppose you could also add women's suffrage if you wanted to.
the initiative,referendum and recall.
The initiative, referendum and recall are more ways to include citizens in government. In the initiative gives citizens the power to propose a law. The referendum gives citizens the power to vote on laws. The recall gives voters the power to vote someone out of office.

Recall
The important elements are direct primary, initiative, referendum, and recall. These are used in the United States.
Yes they did. They wanted to get more representation in government for citizens, and to cut back corruption as well as the power of political bosses. Eventually the Secret Ballot, Direct Primary, Initiative, Referendum, Recall, 17th amendment and women's suffrage were passed (not all at once obviously)
The direct primary, the initiative, referendum, and the recall. All of these reforms are currently used in the United States.
