of the board Of education. Seven

Mrs. Young's failure to be reelected
two weeks ago by the school board
reused a storm Of popular Indignation
Mass meetings were held and the
school board and the mayors office

women visited his office" shouted
Trustee Harding one OF those whose
designations had been accepted hY the
mayor, but who took the floor and
defied the chairman to silence him.
Those women do not represent
Chicago They do not represent a
tenth part Of Chicago. Chicago does
not want Mrs Young just because a
crowd of women hold mass meetings.
Few Of The arguments were intelli-
gible because of the number shouting
together.
Don't listen to the liar" cried Mr..
Loeb of the Young faction, as Mr.

these ouuages here today?' shouted
Sonsteby.

to get the floor.

Nothing was accomplished, except
to get the principal objections of the
anti-Young faction into the record,
until it came to voting on the resolu

their votes, got chance to make
themselves understood.

Mrs Young got up and marched
out Of here in fl of pique," said Mr..
Rothman "she would have been re-

things better to do an injury to Mr. |
Shoop."
After Mrs Mcmahon obtained
