Petticoat Politics.

Joe is a reluctant candidate for "petticoat politics", ne needs a good reason to do as his wife wants. He gets one when he is denied membership in an exclusive lodge, the Knights of Bedlam, by a man named Wilcox. Joe is determined to show Wilcox that he made a mistake not accepting his membership application. When Joe hears about this, he and his father-in-law, Grandpa Edgar, try to get Wilcox out if the race. Joe "rescues" Wilcox from drowning and out of gratitude Wilcox decides to drop out of the mayoral race.
