If she were a man she would make an excellent politician one who would rouse the whole coun- tryside by her speeches. Here is her latest appeal for votes in the contest:
 Realizing that "the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world" I make this (maybe my last) appeal for aid in the last week of our contest. to the mothers and little girls to please see that your fathers and husbands send in some votes for the granddaughter of Lowndes and Butler. I do hope every one has read the patriotic letter of Mrs. Lucy A. Holmes, of Huntsville, and that each and every one of Lowndes' fair daughters may go and do likewise.
