dilbs Do you remeHber Sara Bard Field? 



Coggins: Oh, very well, yes. She campaigned, and her sister, 

 Mary Field. One of the most Interesting can^algners 

 was Gail Laughlin^ a lawyer, who eaxne from Colorado 

 to help out. She had the habit of holding a finger 

 up before her face and rising up and down on her 

 toes like a sandpiper. She wasn't very large and I 

 guess she wanted to be sure that people paid 

 attention. 



O^llbt What type of woman do you feel, from yotar personal 

 acquaintance around here, was most active for 

 women's rights? 



Oogglns: Oh, I think college women, more than the working 

 vomBTim After all, they had some economic power, 

 you see, and they resented this. I remember 

 Mrs. Hume, Sam Hume's mother and the widow of 

 Jim Hunt, the Wells Fargo agent who captured 

 Black Bart. She was a very good speaker, and she 

 went to caispalgQ up in the mining towns. Also in 

 Eureka, a town that had been so hostile to the 

 Chinese that they ran them out of town. Up there 

 she emphasized that the Chinaman could Vote "but 

 your wife can't."
