A Complicated Campaign剧情介绍

Bell City, Colorado, in the midst of a mayoralty campaign. Things look bad for the \"Old Party,\" owing to the fact the women, who outnumber the men voters 2 to 1, are united in their choice of a candidate, Miss Pinker, an old maid. The leader of the Feminist Party is Mrs. Bright, a widow of about fifty. The \"Old Party,\" composed of the men folks, realize their impending defeat and hold a council of war. They agree that something must be done to cause discussion in the ranks of the Feminists. The \"Old Party's\" candidate for mayor is Colonel Pease. A committee of the \"Old Party\" calls at his home and tells him that they have decided to adopt desperate measures in order to bring about his election. Their plan is to have Colonel Pease visit Miss Pinker (the lady candidate), and induce her to decline the office of mayor. After much persuasion the colonel calls on Miss Pinker. He at first tries to argue the question with her, but, this being impossible, he finally proposes marriage. At this offer Miss Pinker jumps, but makes the colonel put his offer in writing. Miss Pinker startles the Feministers by announcing her withdrawal from the fight and making a speech in favor of Colonel Pease. But it happens that Miss Pinker is not the key to the situation. Mrs. Bright is the real backbone of the Feminists' Party. She makes a speech denouncing Miss Pinker as a traitor and promptly nominates another candidate, a Mrs. Ent, and the party still stands united. When the \"Old Party\" members read of these developments, there is much consternation. The colonel is again called upon to break into the enemy's camp. He calls on Mrs. Bright and before he gets away he has also promised to marry her. The colonel is elected, through the efforts of Mrs. Bright. Complications then develop. Miss Pinker comes with the colonel's agreement. Mrs. Bright also claims him. The colonel sidesteps both of them. Two breach of promise suits are started. The colonel absconds. Another meeting at the \"Old Party\" headquarters, it is decided the mayor must be brought back. Peter Lang, district attorney, is called upon to sacrifice himself for the good of the party and marry Miss Pinker. They telegraph the colonel. He returns, marries Mrs. Bright and the \"Old Party\" is good for another administration.
