They will go to Neenah, Wis. after the game for some parties which will be given for them. say it in print · If you we can help make it emphatic New Trier Township polled a total vote ·somewhat in excess of 17,000 last Tuesday, all but three voting districts going into the Hoover column with majorities averaging approximately 3 to 1. Three precincts, one in Northfield and two in Wilmette, in what w:ts formerly the Village of Grosse Point, gave majorities to Al Smith and his Democratic a·ssociates on the ballot. Smith carried the Northfield precinct by the scant margin of two votes. No less significant than PresidentElect Hoover's wide margin of victory, was the aggressive manner in which New Trier dealt out its final blow to the Thompson - Crowe - Galpin- Eller county regime. Almost invariably, the voters who favored the Republican national ticket, crossed party lines in the great fight to exterminate the remnants of the Thompson- Crowe alliance. Thus we find such total·s as 14,229 for Herman N. Bundeson, Demoratic candidate for coroner, as against 2,265 for Oscar '?J olff. ~ga~n, in the scramble for Samtary Dtstnct positions, one observes that Howard W. Elmore in the Republican column, ?lnd Jame·s M·. Whalen, Henty ;A. Berger and Ross A. Woodhull, Democrats, ruled favorites over T. ] . Crowe, Oscar F. Nelson, and Morris Eller. Eller, incidentally, was the worst defeated candidate in New Trier, trailing all entries, with a vote aggregating slightly over 2,000. Favor G. 0. P. State Ticket Louis L. Emmerson for governor and the entire Republican state ticket, ran well up with the national candidates. Mrs. Anna Wilmarth Ickes, for Representative in the state Assembly recived the highest vote o{ all candidates with 15,446. Next in line was Dr. Bundeson. · ] udge John A. Swanson was an easy winner over his Democratic rival, Juclge William J. Lindsay, in the race for 'State's attorney. The voters uniformly crossed over the party ·barrier to favor such Det?ocratic candidates as Clayton F. Smtth, for recorder of deeds, who was opposed by John ] aranowski, ThomJ)'son follower, while Joitn E. Conroy, Democrat, was favored over Eugene L. Nusser for member of board of assessors.
