From collection Candidates
Sarah Scovell ran as the Socialist party candidate in 1914 for Kansas State Treasurer and in 1918 for Kansas Secretary of State. She lost both times. In 1902 the Kansas Socialist party had committed itself to a program of revitalization which included running as many candidates as possible for all offices. It was thought that Socialists might win in tight races between major party candidates. Scovell is variously listed as editor of the newpaper "Republican" and the "Echo."
