Defunct Municipal Voters League and Chicago Politics
The piece attacks the Municipal Voters League as a defunct influence tied to Carter Harrison era interests. It questions the league’s advisory board, accuses it of anti Irish and anti German bias, and links it to railroad and traction franchise lobbying. The author cites election results and criticizes city lease practices and wage cuts amid graft concerns.
