Two candidates appeared; one was a gentleman and the other a young lady lawyer.

They both sought election; the gentleman secured a small majority, but in the end the lady lawyer conquered, for she soon became the wife of the Attorney-General, her former opponent during the election campaign, and after her marriage she practically carried on the work of her husband.

Some years later her husband retired from practice in order to farm, and she continued to carry on the law practice.

Does not this indicate that the intellect of the American woman is equal, if not superior, to that of the men?
American women are good conversationalists, and many of them are eloquent and endowed with "the gift of the gab".

One of the cleverest and wittiest speeches I have ever heard was from a woman who spoke at a public meeting on a public question.
