Jane Addams Shuns Honors
HAS NO AMBITION TO BE CHICAGO'S MAYOR.
ANSWER RELUCTANT
Against Principles of Suffrage Movement to Take Big Office.
New York, July 2 -- "I don't desire to be a candidate for the mayoralty of Chicago," So said Jane Addams, of Hull House, when she arrived on the steamer Olympic from Budapest as a delegate to the World's Woman Suffrage congress.
"The fact friends mentioned me for the mayoralty is a surprise. It is hardly fair to expect me to answer now whether I would accept the nomination or not. It is against our principles that women should start office holding the moment we receive a vote.'
