Petticoat Revolution

 * ... that during the Petticoat Revolution, Laura Starcher (pictured) became mayor of Umatilla, Oregon, while keeping her candidacy a secret from her husband, the current mayor, until the afternoon of election day? Source: East Oregonian, 1916 (2nd paragraph, far left column)
 * ALT1:... that after the Petticoat Revolution, mayor Laura Starcher (pictured) gave an inauguration speech about the "weaknesses, faults, shortcomings, vices, general uselessness, and worthlessness" of men? Source: Oregon Encyclopedia
 * Reviewed: This is my first DYK nomination, and I am exercising my temporary exemption from QPQ until I'm more experienced with the process
 * Comment: The quote in the ALT1 hook is from the New York Herald - is it enough that the quote is attributed in the article itself? Also, this article could be considered to run on December 5th - the 102nd anniversary of the election.

 * This is not a full review but merely a comment, but unfortunately the special date request is unlikely to be accepted. Per WP:DYKSG, generally special date requests can only be made up to six weeks in advance; though there have been exceptions, this is rather rare. Nevertheless, if consensus determines that the special date request can be granted, then it can go up on that date. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 04:39, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are sourced inline and either of the two hooks could be used. The image is delightful and is in the public domain. The article is neutral and the "Earwig Copyvio Detector" did not bring up any concerns. December 5th is too far away to keep this nomination for that date. No QPQ needed and I hope that this new DYK contributor will become a regular. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:05, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
