Griffith of Winnetka, :ommissioner ofý athletics, Weste rn (Big ren) Intercollegiate conference, presi- dent of the -National Intercollegiate conference, president of the Chicago Rotary 'Club and active Legionnaire, will be guest speaker at a meeting of Wil- mette League for Defense of Consti- :utionIal Government, to.be held Monday evening, November 5, in the auditorium of Wilmette Woman's club. Major Griffith bas chosen to discuss under the rather startling title, "Has 4America Gone SofI ?" wbat many citi- zens regard as a tendency to surrender personal rights and liberties for the doubtful benefits of a regimenîed in- lustry and planined econom.v. His convictions on national issues of para- mount importance are definite and deep- rooted, and those who have heard him speak state that no one is left in doubt as to what he thinks, says or means. With the courage born of many con- tests on the athletic field, it is said, he attacks the philosophy of those wlio would lead government away from the safe and sure path laid out by the con- stitution. A speciai invitation is extended to college people, Rotarians and Legion- naires, as wvell as the generai publi to be guests of. the league and enjoy with ils members the great pleasure of hearing Major Griffith. There will be no admission charge. Special music bas been arranged by the Wilmette Maie quartet, composed 14 Madison Jordan, first tenor; J. G. Barnett, second tenor; Munroe Mun- ,on, baritone; F. E. Wesîlake, bass: Albert J. Strohm, accompanist. 'TO .CAST VOTES NEXT TUESDAY Bitterlyr Found Camp)aign Bears National T i n g e, Obseuring Local Issues The voters of New Trier township wiil march tb the polis Tuesday, No- vember 6, te cast their ballots in what is probably the most important off- year election in «the history of Illi- nois, if not of the nation. Upon ils resulîs will no doubt depend the course of future legisiation, both lo- cal and national. Unforîunately, strictiy local issues have been given a national tinge i hrough the efforts of candidates 10 profit by' an endorsement of, or op- position t, the national administra- tion. This bas served tb obscure 1aramount issues of great importance te Cook county and the state, and te I)efuddle voters wbo have earnestly ..ought dependable information on propositions and candidates who are as far removed fromn Washington as the east is f rom the wesî. Campaiga at White Heat One of the most bitter campaigns of recent years is drawing te a close ini a display of verbal pyroîechnics that bas seldom been equalled. Can- didates and leaders of this faction and that bave vied with each other ini villification and abuse that bave com- pletely submerged logic and sane argument, and left fmany voters un- enlighîened on questions tbat vitaily aîffect their welfare. Being an off-year, apathy and ini- difference have been displayed by the electorate tb a degree that bids fair te endanger their interesîs. However, cspecialiy in New Trier township, the voters responded te appeals in suffi- cient numbers te boost the regisîra- lion lisîs te a fair percentage of the ( .jualified voters, and indications now are that an average off-year vote wili lie cast.
