She had to "talk her way into admission to the bar," according to Jo Freeman.National news outlets reported the nomination, and a widely circulated journal containing satiric cartoons featured Lockwood on its cover.[23] Before the May 1887 Des Moines Convention, Nettie Sanford Chapin, the chairman of the party's National Committee, was aware that Love was favored as the Vice Presidential nominee.He credited Lockwood and NERP leaders for their accomplishments and emphasized that he adhered to the principles of Equal Rights and Peace, approaching these ideals with a strong moral conscience.
