The Progressive movement succeeded in persuading 24 states to adopt some form of direct democracy between 1898 and 1918, including initiatives, referendums, and recalls. The Populist movement was active in the late 1800s but did not focus on direct democracy as a main goal. The Whig and Know-Nothing movements were from earlier time periods and had little to do with direct democracy. The "Bull Moose" movement was a short-lived third-party movement in the early 1900s and did not focus on direct democracy either.
