 A meeting of the Woman's School suffrage association was held yester- day afternoon in United church chapel Mrs. Mary B. Moody of Fair Haven annex presided and Mrs. Prof. Honey acted as secretary.
 About seventy-hve women who have identified themselves with the move ment to nominate Miss Ives as one of the commissioners to be elected to the board of education at the next annual school election attend the meeting The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved, after which Mrs. ex- Judge Sheldon, the first speaker, said that three men had given their pledges to the women that they should have one of their number on the board of education. They intend to keep faith with us and we should rally around them.
 The president called Mrs. Sheldon to the chair, after which she addressed the meeting. She said:
 Il know of one man who is adhering to all that is in his power to help the cause along. So enthusiastic has he been, and so many have been his fe- male callers, that his family has guyed him with irritating questions. He has stood them all and has not faltered in the work. He is man prominent in politics. one who has been used to vic tory. The defeat of Miss Ives would be humilitating to him.
 He is a man fast to his word and with his aid we cannot possibly fail He tells me that he is astonished at the opposition that Miss Ives is meet ing with. It is not he says, in the sub- urbs of the city, but in the center. We must not be half-hearted in this move ment. We should follow such leader ship
 Mrs. Moody resumed the chair and recognized Mrs. Alexander Troup, who said that the association should work for Miss Ives nomination against all pposition-against everything. If she is not nominated at the Harmonic hall meeting she should be nominated and run independently
 Mrs. George Black Newcombe asked if there were to be two tickets To this Miss Ives answered that she un- derstood that a. ticket would be put in the field with the names of three men on it.
 The chair suggested that all go to the Harmonic nall meeting with no feeling of unbelief We should go there with the idea of success.
 The question was asked if the asso- citation should ask that Miss Ives be nominated first this evening as an evi- dence of good faith on the part of the men. This was not thought necessary nor advisable.
 A motion was made that the associ- ation vote for no other candidate un- til Miss Ives was selected. This ac- tion Miss Ives took exceptions to and said very emphatically that she would countenance nothing of this kind. The motion was withdrawn.
 It was stated by the chair that Will liam E. Morgan would not be candi date for reelection. He had said The members of the association were cautioned to beware of spurious tickets and also of the attempt to commit the caucus tonight to the scheme of the woman's visiting committee.
 What the women wanted was mem Der of the board. She could assist in the appointment of visiting commit tee.
 The association adjourned to meet next Wednesday evening at the same place and at the same time.
 The list of women voters was increas- ed yesterday by the following: Isabelle w Hume, Ruth P. Hume, Jennie L. Stock, Hattie F. Powell and Carrie c. Alexander.
