From collection Candidates
Sara MacCormack Algeo campaigned for state senator from the city of Providence, Rhode Island in October, 1920. She was a long time suffrage movement campaigner, who ran on a ticket of putting forward the needs of women and children. Mrs. Algeo was sincere and frank about her candidacy. "I know nothing of government finance," she said, "and there are other things concerning governmental affairs of which I am rather hazy. But I do know what laws are needed to protect women and children. And I do so want to see them enacted. I think I can win if I get the nomination. I have the education, the ability to do public speaking, the willingness to go into the fight and the time."
