Arkansas: First woman to vote in the South voted in a recall election (replacement race)

Cool history here, as Fort Smith's Dymple Johnson (who was also the first female dental hygenist) was the first woman to vote in the entire south on November 13, 1917. 

The election was a replacement race for Mayor John Heskitt Wright (who was also on the ballot). Arch Monro was the winner. Wright was recalled for his support for union activity including a strike. He seems to have been removed by the courts for failing to arrest vandals.
