"Still dogged by criminal charges from her 1919 arrest, Whitney ran for California state comptroller in 1924 – waging a relentless political campaign that garnered over 100,000 votes."

While I appreciate that this is an important political figure in the history of our country, the use of emotionally charged language like, "her relentless political campaign..." as if some campaigns are comparatively lackluster, strikes me as coming very close to advocacy. I want to know the story, but I don't want to be led down the primrose path, so to speak. Thanks.Bigdatut (talk) 15:39, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
