But I noticed that he hadn't spoke for nary Conservative but himself. "Then Gaius Ellis rises and sobs similar. He's stopped votin' for himself, too. His ballot is for that grand and good man, Gabriel Atkinson Holway, Esq. More applause and hurrahs. "And then who should get up but Jotham Gale.
They're all occypied be writhin' freemen, callin' in sthrangled voices f'r somewan to light th' candle so they'll be sure they ain't votin' th' prohybition ticket. Th' calico sheets over th' front iv th' booths wave an' ar-re pushed out like th' curtains iv a Pullman car whin a fat man is dhressin' inside while th' thrain is goin' r-round a curve.
I'm an old woman, an' I never had much book-learnin', but I'm thinkin' one like me son Sammy's wife has all the rights she needs wit'out the votin'. She goes out worrkin', same's me son Sammy, day in, day out. She says Sammy could support her good enough, but she won't raise her childern in a teniment, along wit' th' low companions. Me son Sammy, he has it harrd these days.
Then come the wives and relations of Senators and Congressmen, showin' that bein' right on the spot they knowed what wimmen needed.

Suppose any pilgrim was allowed to step off'n a train any time he happened to be comin' through, an' pick off a loose one? What would Choteau County's or any other county's he-population look like in a year's time, eh?

I works up that sketch of my talk with the Swede second mate until I had her shoulders shakin'. "What a boy you are!" says she, gaspy. "Don't overlook the fact that I'll be votin' next year," says I. "How absurd!" says Auntie.
They exerted all their influence, liquor run free all day and all the night before, tryin' to brutalize and craze the men into votin' as the Liquor Power dictated. But Elder White knew what they wuz about, and he and all the earnest helpers he could muster used all their power and influence, and the election wuz a triumph for the Right.
It is nothin' but nonsense clutterin' up the house with so many bureaus. "When wimmen get to votin'," says he sarcastickly, "I'll bet their first move will be to get 'em back agin. I'll bet there hain't a women in the land, but what would love to have 20 bureaus that they could run to." "Then, you think wimmen will vote, do you, Josiah Allen?"
The Professor shook his head; he was not rich, he said, and had already spent more money in the contest than he could afford. "Be gob, it's poor worruk this talkin' an' votin' for us that gets nothin' by it" the phrase stuck in his memory as illustrating the paltry baseness of the whole affair.
"This is a very good country here where you are. You Irish hav enjoyed our boons, held your share in our offices, and you certainly have done your share of our votin.
