McVicker, Mary

Mary McVicker ran for the New York State Assembly as the Socialist candidate from the 22nd District of New York County in 1918. The New York Tribune published a short biographical sketch of her on October 19, 1919. This sketch revealed that, prior to running for the office, McVicker had served as a Quaker minister for several years. In addition, she was "conservative" on her views of Bolshevism. The New York Tribune concluded by writing that, McVicker's campaign was "part of a campaign of education."
