Honestly, attempting to apply contemporary political labels to events that occurred more than a century ago is an unhelpful way of evaluating history. Clearly the progressives of the Progressive Era held many policies that would be non-starters in modern progressive circles, but then Thomas Jefferson's vision of an agrarian republic where only white men could vote doesn't really chime with modern-day liberalism, despite Jefferson being the ideological forefather of the American liberal ideology.
