mary lease

so i'm reading about a nineteenth century political figure by the name of mary lease, who was involved in populist politics around the turn of the century. and apparently in 1890, while she was stumping for the party in kansas, she told farmers to raise less corn and more hell. haha. how awesome is that? it must have worked too because "The election of 1890 was a decisive victory of the Populists" (Lovett 29).
