October 26, To the Independent Voters of New Trier: We hope that you will carefully considu the character. ability and nperi·ence of the candidates. before voting at the election on November 2nd. Wf believe that the candidates on the Democratic ticket are superior to their opponents in these essential requirements, and . .thfrefore, that they deserve your support. This is the basis on which we ask you to vote for them. Public attention is naturally centered on the contest for United States Senator. We wish to call your attention to the past record of George E. Brennan. nominated by the Democratic ·P arty for that high officf. As a boy Mr.· Brennan worked in a coal mine: he rud and studied and as a young man became a school teacher and. later, Assistant County Super intendent of Schools of Will Counry, Illinois. Today hr is a successful busi ness man. He has been for nearly 10 years the Chicago Manager of the United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company. J · I 9~6 A few words to .Bill and ··washday·' is a thing of the past. CALL IN BILL TODAYHE'S IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD TODAY-AND EVERY·DAY In 1 91 I Mr. Brrnnan became responsible for the nomination of ten Republican judges along with ten Democratic judges on the Democratic judicial ticket. This coalition ticket was elected, and the efforts of the Small -Lundin Thompson machine to control the judiciary of Cook County were defeated. In I 924 he secured the nomination of Norman K. Jones as the Democratic candidate for Governor against Len Small. New Trier, although normally overwhelmingly Republican, gave Jones a majority of its votes. It was Mr. Brennan who brought about the nomination of the present admirable mayor of Chicago, William E. Dever. George E. Brennan's fine record of public service is an assurance that. if elected, he will be an able and public spirited United States Senator. 20% Discount on work brought in and ca lied for We submit thar Mr. Brennan and the other Democratic candidates deserve your vote. Yours respectfully, . .. . ROSWELL B. MASON, 326 Ridge Ave., Winnetka, Ill. HENRY A. BERGER, 819 Chestnut Ave., Wilmette, Ill. Democratic District Committeemen for the Township of New Trier.
