To maximize the women’s vote, Lum sent out word to have them vote by absentee ballot. Today Lum discusses the strategy with his rival campaign manager, Squire Skimp. Is it a chance thing to rely upon? Squire thinks so.
As he leaves, Lum continues the discussion with Abner. Has it been enough to rely on the influence Lizabeth has with women? The gents fret over the poll results when grandpap arrives. Abner demands a recount until Lum reports a significant number of absentee ballots have arrived.
Will the wave of votes put Abner over the top? Cedric returns after his emergency trip to the county seat. With a thunderstorm blowing in, the gents race out to make sure the mail hack can cross the rising rivers.
