TO SAVE INFANT R0UES
Montclair in Campaign for
Child High Life" Reform.

lFrom The Tribune Correspondent
Montclair. y. j., Nov. 16.-Montclair
women who have interested themselves I'm
a campaign to make the children Of this
town less blase will issue tomorrow a
formal call for a meeting on December 8.
The campaign will be under the direc-
ton OF the Montclair Federation Of Wom-
ans Organizations. and IL is planned to
frame a code which will serve as GUIDE
for parents who wish TO provide safe
and sane" social entertainments for their
children.
The Rev. Harry Emerson Fosdick, pas
tor Of the First Baptist Church, severai
months ago decried from the pulpit the
baneful Influences that attend the too
strenuous social life OF the children OF
Montclair. An investigation of conditions
showed that he did not exaggerate.
AT a recent birthday party given by the
wealthy parents of a six-year-old child
caterer served the foods. q New York
house provided the decorations and pro-
fessional entertainers amused the little
guests.
r. +. Gray one of the signers Of the
call for the meeting. says:
III the parents are not pitifully weak
thoughtless. or from a moral standpoint.
criminally negligent why are children
allowed TO squander nights at orgies Of a
so-caled social nature? Child labor.
about which we heard so much in the last
week here. is q great evil. but. 70 far as
Montclair is concerned. child debauchery
is worse. There may be some excuse for
come children being out in the dawn's
carly light TO get living. but there Is
none whatever for these so-called social
activities"

Awaiting Mayor Elects

red hot SCRAP" has been started
among the supporters OF John Purroy
Mitchell I'm The Bronx over the leadership
of the anti-Tammany Democrats in that
borough. IT is growing so strenuous that
Mr. Mitchell TO all intents is going to
have a rather knotty problem TO solve
when he gets back from his vacation.
Ex-senator Joseph =. Hennessy, brother
OF the irrepressible John. and Eugene
Mcclure. once lilly white" Tammany
man, are the claimants of the title, and
the contest that has started has stirred
up as pretty n fight as has been seen In
The Bronx for long time.
Mr.. Mitchell will be the one who will
have to decide, however. and the anti
Tammany Democrats in The Bronx are
awaiting his return with more than ordi-
nary interest. for in addition 20 leading
the anti-Tammany forces in the borough
for the next four years. the man he Sc
lects Will also have considerable to say

To Drive Out Murphyism.

"I am not anxious to become the anti
Tammany leader OF The Bronx Mr..
Hennessy said last night. but so many
persons sincerely interested I'm driving
Murphyism out Of The Bronx have come
10 me that have no alternative hut TO
stand by The guns.
The idea OF Gene Mcclure posing a.
n reformer IS rather amusing Ny infor-
nation is that he is just as good Tam
many man as he ever was and would be
perfectly willing 10 do business again
with Murphy at the same old stand.
This is borne out by the actions OF
Warden Clancy. Of Sing Sing. who was
appoInted by Governor Sulzer at the re-
quest Of Mcclure. When Clancy was
asked 10 help the fusion campaign with
the Stilwen revelations Mcclure got TO
him first. so there was nothing doing.

CURE"
Mcclure is asserting that he, too. has
been asked by number Of anti-Tam-
many Democrats TO help drive Murphyism
out Of The Bronx. and they intimate that
the call has come from men close To the
new administration.
Lines are being tightly drawn in the
contest but from the looks OF things
Hennessy has the better of IT, for II il
hadn't been for the help OF the Republi-
cans Mcclure would have made poor
showing on Election Day. OF course. If
the fight gets too hot Mr.. Mitchell may
take Il into his head to select some one
else. but the Hennessy followers don't

Political Foes in Battle.

Hennessy and MCGUIRE are bitter enc
miles politically, and the friends Of the
former Senator say that one OF the rea-
sons for this feeling is the fact that Mr.
Hennessy succeeded In defeating a bill IN
troduced by former Senator Stilwell whci
provided for the copying of The Brony
records after the latter became county
This. Mr.. Hcnnessy asserted, would have
caused the unnecessary expenditure oI
about q 10000 by the citizens Of TIL
Bronx. According 20 Mr.. Hennessy, thl.
made Mcclure particularly sore, because
he asserts. Mcclure was a business part
ner Of Stlvell.
So bitter did the feeling between Hen
messy and Mcclure become that when the
fusionists prepared a ticket for the re-
cent election Mcclure refused 10 "stanc
for It. because MIR Hennessys name was
on IT, Instead. he lined up with John J
Knewitz. the Republican leader, and 90
gether they fixed mp fusion ticket OF
their own.
Mr. Henuessy. however. continued ir
the race for County Clerk, with the back
ing of the Procresslves and the Inde'
pendcnce League. and polied 2l,co votes
against 200 by the McGuire-Knewit7
candidate and . sOo by the Tammany can
didate. A. q result OF this showing thu
Hennessy supporters now charge Mcclure
with PLAYING into the hands of Tammany
They point out that. according 20 the 70.
turns II MCGuirc had stood by the fusion
candidates Tammany would have beer
beaten. instead Of elect!ng the Sheriff
the District Attorney. the County ClerH
and the Register. Mr. Hennessy lives ir
the 3ith Assembly District. and this h'
carried by more than 100.
Friends Of Mcclure assert that hi'
break with Murphy three years ago vi.
make him the logical choice for leader OF
the antI-Tammauy Democrats, but th'
Hennessy adherents make light OF this
claim and declare that Mcclure Was al
WAYS willing 10 do business with Murphy
up To this time. while Mr. Hennessy has
always remained independent
I'm support OF this they point TO th'
fight he made against Richard Croker for
the nomination for Senator. Croker de-
cldcd that Hcnnessy must not be nomi'
mated. but after bitter fight. whicf
went to the Court Of Appeals. Mr.. Hen
