Now Who’s the Joke?

Salter was elected mayor of Argonia on April 4, 1887.[3] Her election was a surprise because her name had been placed on a slate of candidates as a prank by a group of men against women in politics hoping to secure a loss that would humiliate women and discourage them from running.[2][3][4] Because candidates did not have to be made public before election day,[2] Salter herself did not know she was on the ballot before the polls opened.[4] When, on election day itself, she agreed to accept office if elected, the Women's Christian Temperance Union abandoned its own preferred candidate and voted for Salter en masse. Additionally, the local Republican Party Chairman sent a delegation to her home[5] and confirmed that she would serve and the Republicans agreed to vote for her, helping to secure her election by a two-thirds majority.[2][4]

Although her term was uneventful,[2] her election generated national interest from the press,[3] sparking a debate regarding the feasibility of other towns following Argonia's lead, which ranged from objections to "petticoat rule" to a "wait-and-see" attitude.[2]

I love when men’s plans blow up in their face and end up humiliating them instead. Wholesome. I bet those apples tasted great!
