towns ruled by women
WHERE THEY HOLD EVERY OF c ICE
FROM MAYOR TO JANITOR.
Female Voters in Most Towns Vote
for Men - Two Exceptions - The
Mayor Stops Cleaning Her House
and Tulles.
From the Philadelphia Pi 1-
Toffka, Kan., April 9.—Manhattan and
Oskaloosa are two Kansas towns whers
,he women have everything their own way.
Tbev have turned the men out of all the
local political officasand have ran the town
ever since both sexes have voted in local
elections in Kansas.
The revolution iti Oskaloosa was accom
plished two years atco and in Manhattan a
rear ago. The act enabling women to vote
Kansas became a law three years ago.
■I he women captured all the city offices in
t-ese towns, and since that time women
|iave administered all the departments of
the city government from the mayor down
through the council to the janitorship of
.ci y halt The women bad another
ticket in the field for the regular spring
on April 1, and it was elected over
tt e three other tickets. They nad control
of all the election machinery, having ap
pointed women judges and clerks of elections
nt all the precincts.
T’ is. and the t-ister town of Oskaloosa,
are the first municipalities in America, ami
probably the first in the world to gi.e their
government over entirely to wome i. A
drummer who visited Oskaloosa the week
after election, says: “When I saw men
lounging silently around the public square
1 wondered if they did not feel like apolo
gizing for drawing their breath. It is no
fancy of mine that they looked meek and
hushed. I had expected to see them restless
ami contemptuous under the political domin
nation of women, hut I was disappointed.
A good many of them told me the town
"was disgracing itself, that the women had
not time to fit themselves t > run the gov
ernment alone and that it would never Hap
pen again. But there was no radical talk
about tan mg the ballot away from them.
1 did not hear a man hint such a thougnt or
hope. Woman suffrage in municipal elec
tions is accepted as thoroughly in Oska
loofft as manhood suffrage is in Pennsyl
vania.
“It is astonishing to find that nobody
there sees anything numorous in the situa
tion. The new departure is no longer a
laughing matter with the townspeople.
Their solemn earnestness is the lunniest
element in the whole affair. These city
mothers, in their private characters, a:e
treated with gallant deference, but in their
official characters they do nut get off but a
very little more easily than city fathers
generally do. However, whenever ail ag
grieved citizen of Uskaloosa wishes to go the
full length of denunciation and imputa ion
lie finds it convenient, as a rule, to apply
himself to an energetic woman, locally de
rided as Bos3 Ellen Beasley, and who is
c rnmonly accused of misleading the women
of the city government.
THE EDITOR WAS A WOMAN'S MAS.
“The editor is a woman’s man; that i3
anat the opposition calls the supporters of
the city government. This geutleman told
me that the new administration was without
a flaw. He said lhat the first suggestion of
electing a woman’s ticket was not. serously
made. That was in the spring of 1887, and
ihe ticket put up by a few women was de
feated. The next year, however, the men
■aid that they would not play hog, and so a
msall group of them made up a ticket com
posed entirely of women. The candidates
were all amiable and popular wives and
mothers; there were no short hairs or cork
screw curls among them. But even then
the proposition was not seriously taken,and
it was in the spirit of a joke that the entire
woman’s ticket was elected. Mrs. Mary D.
Bowman, the candidate for mayor, received
11(5 votes, while tee man win opposed her
received only sixty-eight. Then Oskaloosa
fe.t funny. The tow nspeop’ regarded it as
a joke among themselves, and it fairly took
: heir breath to look at the Kansas City,
Topeka, St. Louis, and Chicago papers.
Some of the women thus suddenly thrust
into the bright sunlight of publicity actu
ally cried over the descriptions that they
read of their own faces aud gowns.
“But they wiped away their tears and
were sworu in. By the time their year was
ended they bad long ceased to b ; a joke
among their constituents, who had formed
into stubborn factions of the discussion of
the merits of the new administration. The
aldermen had passed but a single ordinance,
and had conducted themselves soberly aud
patiently. This one ordinance excluded
trom the town center the busings of brood
ing horses, aid immediately- this subject
became the chief issue in municipal politic-.
Those who favor the old plan swore that
the trade of the t >wn would bo ruined if
ttiis ordinance should be enforced; but the
rdinanc was enforced, and on the question
of its enforcement the women were ro
elected. The fight against them was earn
est and warm, but the entire woman’s
ticket w s successful. Mayor Lowman re
ceiving 197 votes to 128 that were cast for
an ungallant townsman who belies the
name of Noble.
WOMEN* AS ELECTION “BOYS.”
“The election was very exciting. Zealous
women rode in carriages and ’buggies ail
day, while the polls were open, seeking re
luctant sisters. The scenes about the voting
place were, I am assured by both sides,
worthy of the good people of the to an. The
only exception was the disposition of the
women to cheat, so say thoir opponents. I
have heard men from all parts of Kansas
say that w. men cheat at the polls m i eadiiy
as they are widely believed to chea at
euchre. 1 have asked all these accusers
why they not prevent the cheating 3
“ ’What!’ they would exclaim. ‘Challenge
a woman’s vote < I guess not; why I’d be
run out of town.’
“Very often in the Oskaloosa election
husbands and wives came together aud
voted the same ti kot, but there was a num
ber of instances wherein the two heads of
families stood apart; always without any
unhappy effect on their domestic relations.
1 heard of wives who voted the meu’s
ticket, while their husbands supported the
the women candidates. The sexual line was
n.t drawn, for it is estimated that in spite
ol ihesuoeess of the women’s ticket half the
women who voted threw their ballots for
the men. So. ial jealousy and a notion that
the women in office were foolishly making
talk about themselves were the motives
generally ascribed to such voter*.
“HR HONOR, THE MAYOR.”
"When 1 visited the register’s office there
v as no woman to be seen, but a mail with a
l ieasant, intelligent face and only one arm
"as seated at a desk writing in a big book.
1 asked, ‘ls the mayor here?’
“ ‘No,’ he ansviered. ‘She’s at home to
day. I’m,her husband and am doing her
"ork; can 1, do anything for you ?’
“1 told him that I would like very much
to meet the mayor herself before I left
town, w hereupon he kindly directed me to
l>er home. This is a pretty little cottage
' the edge of the town. There is a well
tended garden behind it, and in front is a
f-ean, flowered lawn.
“As I rang the bell the repert of carpet
heating came from tho ell of the house,
ifter a minute a woman of medium hight,
h years of age, slightly silvered hair, and
with a face lighted by native intelligence,
-harpened by an honest keenness and gently
lined by earnestness and decision, opened
ihe door and bade me good morning.
"I asked if the mayor was at home, and
the answer was, ’I urn she.’
“After the introduction had been made
mutual I was welcomed into a home-like
■uttitig room, with its flower pots, sewing
machine ami work basket.
“ ‘\ou must excuse my appearance,’the
mayor said slowly and precisely, iu a warm,
natural tone. .She was born in Pennsyl
'arilft and is, though two centuries removed
rom Scotland, very Scottish still. Mani
estly the fundamental trait iu her is that
sort of calm patience that is succeeded ia
uue time by a persistence equally calm.
There was little to excuse ia her appear- I
ance. for she looked as well as a housewife ’
could who had ome, as she explained, im
mediatelv from her ’parlor cleaning.’
Mis. Lowman, that is her honor’s name,
said that she had never taken any part in
politics until the mayoralty as thrust upon
her, although she had always followed the
political discusssiODs in the newspar ers. !
Ihe only attention that she had ever given
local political affairs was to feel sorry that
Oskaloosa was so core lead v governed in
respect t* stre-U and sidewalks anil
nuisances. There had not been any liquor
selling that she knew of -nice the s.ate 1
adopted prohibition. When she was >
electei mayor she regarded it i
in the light of simple duty to j
assume the responsibility and do the best I
she could. She had never thought of woman 1
suffrage until her official life began, and sue '
din not know of a woman suffragist ia
Oskaloosa befo*e that time. Now, however,
she and the aldermen, and a good many
otheia of both sexes, were convinced that
if the suffrage were extended to women iu
the broader politics of the state and nation,
not as a privilege, but as a dutv, it would
not be long until her sisters accepted it and
contributed to tho affairs of g ivernment
the benefit of their love of peace and mor
ality.
ONE TROUBLESOME EVE.
“The mayor confessed that she ana her
si ders in the city government had not
found themselves able to do ail that ought
to be done, but she felt that no money had
been wasted and that the town was better
off. Tne taxes were bss, and there were uo
debts.
“The exception which the mayor noted to
the unanimity prevailing in t ie board of
aldermen was made, 1 afterward heard, by
Mrs. Carrie Johnson. Mrs. Johnson wai an
alderman in the first year of the women’s
reign and the youngest member of the
board, being only 23 years of age. When
the proposition came before the board to
make Alderman Johnson’s rich father lay a
sidewalk around a vacant corner lot, she
not only opposed it, but when defeated she
left the board and never came again. Tins
is the story as it was told to me.
“The jail, by the wav, had only two pris
oners in it when I was in Okaloosa, and
they were Freelovers who had been arrested
in the neighboring town of Valley Falls,
where there is a very small community of
cranks surrounding the radical editor of a
paper called tho Lucifer.
“There are four other Kansas towns
whore women hold offices. In Cottonwood
Fails the bad citizens mocked the scolding
editor of a local paper by nominating his
wife for mayor. Tne people elected her aud
I heard that she was trying to make the
bad citizens laugh out of the other side of
their mouths. In many places it is com
plained that tho women's vote is more in
fluenced by a candidate’s whiskers thau by
his principles.”
GEORGIA POLITICS.
Dr. J. F. Park is suggested for mayor of
LaGrange.
The friends of Hon. F. C. Foster of Mad
son are urging him to enter the congres
ional race.
W. Pete Bearden, who has made Madison
an efficient marshal for several years, has
resigned, and R. B. Aycock has been ap
pointed to fill his place until an election is
held next Wednesday.
Montezuma Reconi: Our people generally
are in favor of meeting at the court house
and selecting a candidate for the legislature.
They want a representative man, one who
is not a self-appointed candidate. It is time
for the people to take this matter into their
own hands.
Hon. Allen Candler is out in a card. He
was quoted as saying that “the man who
carries the Ninth congressional district
must have protection principles.” What he
did say was that uo mas can carry the
Ninth district who is opposed to the repeal
of the internal revenue.
In addition to Seth Tatum, Dr. F. M,
Ridley, Hon. J. U. Pitman, Col. Benjamin
Swan-on, and Judge Whitaker, all of
Troup county, a e suggested by the
LaGrange Reporter as good senatorial
timber from the Thirty-seventh district.
Troup names the senator this time under
the rotation plan.
Politics are reported to (e wurming up
considerably in Chattahoochee county.
There are four candidates in the field for
representative—Johu King, E. J. Wynn,
IV. A. Sapp and Beu J. Wyatt, The three
cornered senatorial rare remains unchanged,
the candidates being Hon. LaFayette Harp,
Col. A. D. Harp and Hon. J. F. O. McCo k.
Athens Banner: Since Mr. Murray sacri
ficed his office to principle, aud chose rather
to stand by his principles and convictions
than bond the supple knee to Buck an-l his
gang, that thrift might follow fawning, he
has been the recipient of a great many
letters from different sections ot the United
States indorsing his course and expressing
applause at his position. Yesterday a gen
tleman from Ohio wrote Mr. Murray a long
letter full of praise, and stated that if be
ever visited t.he state that he must come and
see the writer, and he would promise him a
regular ovation. The letter continued that
the democrats of the “Buckeye state” were
with Murray to a man m his praiseworthy
course, and his praises were sounded on
every ha and. When the damocra sdo get
into power again To ie Murray will be well
provided for. He will have a backing all
over the union.
FOR GEORGIA FARMERS.
J. H. High of Madison lost a valuable
colt Thursday. It vvas being led out of the
stable when it reared aud fell backward,
crushing its skull.
Cotton continues tv be brought into
Madison by the farmers trom the plama
tious near that city, aud occasionally a few
bal.’s are brought from adjoining counties.
The farmers’ alliance of Jackson county
held two meetings during the past week,
and resolved to petition the Georgia me r
bers in congress toVAfe for the sub-treasury
bill.
Wednesday a representative of the Mon
tezuma Record hid u tad; with Bennmg
Moore of Marshal .ville, o ne of th > most ex
perienced und bo.,t posted fruit men in
Southwest Georgia. Hit says that mere
will be a fruit crop this year, but nothing
in comparison to that of last season. None
of the early varie. h s will amount to much,
while the Elberta. Chinese Cling, ami other
later varieties will yield fair crops.
Her Hair Saved Her Life.
From the PhUadeOihiu Time.i.
Petersburg, April 4. —A curious freak
of lightning during a remit’, storm was
played on a woman named Ellen H i rues, a
laundress, living in the suburbs of this place.
She had stepped to the door and stood hold
ing it ajar, watching the storm, when she
was struck by the lightning anJ knocked
senseless. She was alone at the tune, except
for a child a few months old, but a neighbor
from her window saw tho woman fall, and,
during the storm, ran to her assistance and
succeeded in resuscitating her after some
lime. , ,
Though unable to speak for hours, sue
was appare itly unhurt by the shock, but a
part of her hair was turned a dazzling
white by tho electricity and killed to tho
very roots. A distinct line of demarcation
separates the dead white hair from the
living and black strands. This line does
not run exactly down the middle of the
head, but about an inch and a quarter to
one side.
A remarkable feature of the occurrence
is that the woman says that as she was
struck she was conscious of a a terrible
pang in the side of her head which is un
changed, and remember* no particular
sensation in the other. She is inconsolable
over her strange deformity, as the physi
cians here give her no hope that new and
black hair wUI ever grow again on the af
fected side of her head, bat endeavor to
comfort her by the unanimous opinion that
she owe* her life, and at any rate her
reason, to the thickness of her locks, which
prevented the brsln from lesling the full
force of the shock.
