From collection Candidates
L. Meredith Stansbury (Mrs. H. S.) was nominated in 1894 for state assembly from Arapahoe County, Colorado. It is not clear that she campaigned and did not win although she was the best known of the assembly candidates. The Woman's Journal described her as the "Ellis Meredith" of the Denver News. ("On the Eve of the Election," November 10, 1894). She was college educated, active in the woman suffrage movement, and had testified before the Judiciary Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives on the question of women's rights.
