Mae Snow gets support from Minneapolis women
Many of them vote for her alone, passing up long-term candidates entirely
Election judges in some districts asked ridiculous questions of suffragists
Minneapolis Morning Tribune, September 21, 1910


excerpts -

Minneapolis women supported Mae Snow for nomination for the board of education. Many of them voted for Miss Snow alone, ignoring the long term candidates, making her plurality higher than if they had voted for two. It is said that hundreds of husbands voted for Miss Snow on advice from their wives. . .

. . . Miss Mae Snow, the woman candidate for the board of education, voted early at a fire station near her home.
