Disc 6 |
| When the town gets impatient with their town-hall meetings where nothing really gets done, it is proposed that the town elect a mayor. Loren nominates Jake, and Horace nominates Michaela. While there is no law against women running for office, only property-holding women are allowed to vote, giving Jake an extreme upper hand in the race. Myra is attacked by a man while she is "entertaining," while Michaela is outside of town campaigning and is unable to be there to help, which makes her wonder if she would be able to be mayor and still be the doctor the town needs. When she is about to announce her withdrawal, things start to look up and she decides to stay in the race. During a debate, Michaela confesses that, while she wouldn't do anything without the town's vote, her personal preference would be to outlaw prostitution and drinking. Though he originally discouraged her from running because of how dirty politics can get, Sully is impressed that she held her ground even though it may have hurt her vote. On election day, the women of the town all come out to vote and are initially turned away, until they all present an official document saying that Sully deeded to each of them a small part of his homestead, making them all land owners, and eligible voters. When they see their victory is threatened, Jake and Loren make a deal with Michaela that if she wins, she won't outlaw prostitution or drinking, and if they win, they will allow women to vote, whether they are property holders or not. When Myra hears that even if Michaela wins, prostitution will not be outlawed, she asks Hank for her contract, rips it up, and quits, saying that she would rather spend her life in a jail cell than keep working for him. The Reverend reads the results and Jake wins the vote, but not by a large margin, and keeps his promise to make it legal for women to vote. |
