Not, you understand, of its campaigning heart. That is as sturdy and staunch as ever. But of its personal, really and truly heart, the campaign train has of a certainty been robbed, robbed so indubitably that when at 1:30 yesterday afternoon, it climbed back into its Pullman home, it lifted up its collective voice and wailed in collective anguish: \u2018I\u2019ve never had such a wonderful time in my life. I\u2019m coming to Miles City to live.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to take you back home with us!\u201d cried Miss Elizabeth Freeman as the campaigner shouted goodbye. \u201cWe don\u2019t want to go.

Really, how smart to bring your own reporter with you! We may have a sense these days that reporters should be objective and maybe part of the press pool that travels with the candidate but not necessarily partisan. We are probably fooling ourselves, but in those days papers were avowedly political which is why there were often competing papers in a town. Binghamton\u2019s own millionaire Willie Sharpe Kilmer didn\u2019t like the coverage he was getting from the Sun-Bulletin so he started the Binghamton Press. In going through this scrapbook you can tell the partisan coverage when reporting that a bunch of Democratic rowdies roughed up the \u201cHughesettes\u201d as they were called or taunted the whole campaign train as the \u201cGolden Special\u201d because of all the wealthy women on board.<\/p>\n<p>The Women\u2019s Campaign Special was a great stunt, the brainchild of Frances Kellor who was to go on to be the first female Cabinet member under FDR. It was the first time that suffragists campaigned for a party candidate instead of for the cause of votes for women. The fear among anti-suffrage politicians was that women would change the balance of power with their votes. As it happened, most women voted the same way their families voted and women\u2019s votes, or as we say, \u201cthe gender gap\u201d was not significant in elections until recently.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I am hoping it\u2019s wide enough to pull us back from the abyss of Republican backlash that is endangering women, and indeed, Mother Earth. Please, register to vote, and then VOTE. Look at how hard women worked to make it happen, not withstanding a pleasant time in Miles City MT in 1916.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1215\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1215\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1215\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"189\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elisabethfreeman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/cowboyp-c-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elisabethfreeman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/cowboyp-c-1024x645.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/elisabethfreeman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/cowboyp-c-768x484.jpg 768w, https:\/\/elisabethfreeman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/cowboyp-c.jpg 1110w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"https:\/\/elisabethfreeman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/cowboyp-c-300x189.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1215\" src=\"https:\/\/elisabethfreeman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/cowboyp-c-300x189.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"189\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elisabethfreeman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/cowboyp-c-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elisabethfreeman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/cowboyp-c-1024x645.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/elisabethfreeman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/cowboyp-c-768x484.jpg 768w, https:\/\/elisabethfreeman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/cowboyp-c.jpg 1110w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1215\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Front of postcard from Corda.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Three articles about Hughes Women\u2019s Campaign stop at Miles City MT 1916, quoted in post.<\/h3>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!--themify_builder_content--><\/p>\n<p><!--\/themify_builder_content--><\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Board the Women\u2019s Hughes Campaign Train, 1916 Hughes Campaign Women posing with cowboys in Miles City MT.
