ITS MOTHERS MEETINGS.
Woman's Municipal League Has Promoted
Political Education All Summer.

Although the mothers meetings which the
WOman's Municipal League has been conducting
during the summer have been highly successful IL
is open question whether This method Of educat
ing public sentiment will be continued during the
coming campaign. About six hundred women and
some men have attended these meetings. which
have been held in St. Georges Memorial House
Union Settlement. and the parish houses connected
with the Church of the Ascension. St Marks and
St Bartholomew and Madison Square Church
House. Among the speakers have been Dr. Rob
bins. Mrs. William 5. Carter Mrs. TONES and Mrs
n. D. Fisk
While the league has kept pretty quiet over this
side Of its work. il has eXerted strong anti-Tam-
many influence through the meetings. and it seems
TO feel that while it has hitherto dwet largely
the principles underlying good government and bad
government. it is now time to come to the personal
issues involved in the campaign The people Of the
lower East and West sides have had their attention
directed to the improvements that have taken place
under the reform admins tration in better cleaning
Of streets. the more effective precautions against
the spread Of infectious diseases, and tenement in
spection. The league thinks the time has come 10
pass from the abstract To the particular. and to
emphasize the fact that to continue these advan-
tages II is necessary to vote the reform ticket
Through the summer the league has also held
public meetings at Harlem. two par'or meetings
at Washington Heights and one at Williams
bridge. 1t may decide to hold d series Of mass
meetings between now and election day. fur
the plans of the league are as ret IN allegiance
As one Of the officials said yesterday.
we can't do anything till the nominations are
made. OF course. we shall stand by fusion. We
have committees appointed. but the precise
form our activity VIII take cannot be decided on
until we know more definitely. We shall be active
in some way, Of course"
MISS CHAMBER To RETURN.
Miss Margaret Astor ChanIer the president OF the
lea gUe, is expected TO arrive the St Louis on
Saturday from Europe. whittier she was uneXpect-
edy called this summer by the dr"wning OF her
young nephew. As Miss Chanler is chairman Of
the campaign committee nothing very definite can
be done before her return. but il Is expected that
her presence will be the signal for the institution
OF a definite line OF action. Since. assuming the
head Of the league. Miss Chanler has come down
from her summer home at Barrytown every week
