NOW FOR A WIN ONE" CLUB.
Women May Organize in the In
terest of Fure Politics.
Mrs. Parkhurst, Mrs. Sage and Mrs.
Rockefeller Mentioned AS Leaders.

The idea of a win One" campaign, on
the part of the women of New York,
suggested by Mrs. Florence Brown. of
22l West Twenty-third street. meets
with general approval from other
women who have made study of NUM-
clpal politics, and who are determined
to take a hand in the efforts of our citi-
zens to secure purer administration
of municipal affairs.
Mrs. Brown said to-day:
Il favor an energetic canvass on the
part of the women. l would have every
woman form win One club. Every
woman should be pledged to win at
least one vote for good government. She
should canvass among the men she
knows and never stop until she had at
least one man pledged to vote as she
desired Then there would be one vote
cast for every woman in the movement,
the same as If they had the ballot"
Mrs. Elizabeth B. Grannis said:
"A good deal of Mrs. Browns idea
approve of heartily, but | represent a
rather different set of methods. Mrs.
Brown advocates womans cart-tall
Campaign-wOmen speakers to women
auditors. If We might have the cart
tan managed by honest, earnest WOHltii
! would approve. But II bright, am
bilious smart women did 1t the very
evil one woull be IN 1T;
Yes, want all these church women
to org inize, get together in the lecture
room for consultation, and have the
pastor or some man wise In statesman
ship or politics to instruct them con-
corning the best methods to induce men
to vote for Iure candidates and poll
Cies. We want the organized women
to appoint committees to labor In our
families and among their neighbors.
| Then each woman might win one vote
or many
Miss Theresa Barcalow, President of
the Women's Political Studies Club,
said:
Il agree with Mrs. Brown. l would
suggest Mrs. Josephine Lowell to head
such a campaign But DR.. Parkhurst,
why does he appeal to the women? He
done as he, should. If he wants. the
women to help him why doesn't he
help the women"
Mrs. Grannis and Miss Barcalow each
proposed Elbridge T Gerry for Mayor.
Mrs. Brown suggested Mrs. John ID.
Rockefeller or Mrs. Russell Sage as the
! leader Of the wOmen's movement Mrs
Grannis thought neither of these wo-
men would accept, and proposed Mrs
| Parkhurst to lead a great central or
| ganzation of women of the church
Miss Barcalow thought Mrs Josephine
Lowell the woman of v ymen for leader
| against corruption.
Mrs. Rockefeller, Mrs. Sage and Mrs
Parkhurst were absent from home
when an Evening World" reporter
| called.
Mrs. Isabella Davis Secretary of the
Kings Daughters, said:
| Il hope to see the women taking ad.
vantage of the present opportunity
Every woman can win one vote"
Mary Phillips, of the New York City
Woman Suffrage League, said she liked
the idea.
Miss Jeanette L. Glider said:
| Il should think every woman who
| wishes for better municipal government
would be anxious to use every possibl,
influence to help drive out the presen
corrupt ring"
