We are bound hand and foot, but for
tunately our tongues are not tied"
said Mrs. g. A. knollenberg, of Rich
mond, Indiana. A bitter fight was on
for the election of Mayor of that city
The present incumbent, whose private
and public life Is obnoxious to the
better element OF the town, was up for
reelection. For eight years the poll
teal machine had backed the Mayor,
a mere tool In the hands of unscrupu-
lOus leaders. The forces of good gov
ernment seemed on the very verge of
defeat, when the women arose in their
might, twelve hundred strongs demand
ing that their little city be controlled
by men of clean character-that good
instead of evil, honesty instead of
graft, decency instead of indecency,
be the watchwords.
They held great mass meeting and
made stirring speeches. 1t was not n
question of politics; 1t was the moral
sentiment of the community speaking
through its wives and mothers. And
1t was effective. The Mayor went
down to defeat. Said leading paper:
"1he women of Richmond made the
rcsul. possible. The tide began t.

half of womanhood and the sanctIty
of the home protested against the con.
tinuance of the present regime. II
