RR Tape - WINNETEA TTA LK Published weekl by Lloyd Hollister, Inc., 664 Lincoln Ave., Winnetka, Illinois. March 8, 1912, at the post office at Winnetka, Illinois, under the Act of March 8, 1879. Bubscript Entered as second class matrer $2.00 y yor. XVII. NO. 35 M---- WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, NOVEMBER 3, 1928 PRICE FIVE CENTS VOTE TOTAL HERE TO SHATTER ALL RECORDS Hoover Destined to Receive Overwhelming Majority in New Trier, Say Dopesters With another political campaign drawing rapidly to its close, voters in New Trier township are destined to shatter all previous high percentage voting records at the polling places Tuesday, November 6. That this un- precedented ballot will register an overwhelming majority for Herbert Hoover is universally admitted by lo- cal political dopesters. Virtually all of the campaign activity in the township has been confined to the state and county tickets, the only marked exception being Winnetka's very own battle ever the relative merits of the two Presidential nom- inees. In this village the women have taken charge of the campaign during the past few weeks, established Hoo- ver and Smith headquarters and soli- cited support under the banners of the Women-for-Hoover and Women-for- Smith clubs, respectively. It has been a merry fight with the Hoover adher- ents obviously destined to have the better of the deal when the ballots are counted. Wind Up With Rally Winnetka's campaign, insofar as speech-making is concerned, terminated with a great rally last evening, marked by an old-fashioned torchlight parade, headed by a band, which assembled at the Village hall and proceeded to the Woman's club building where such notable pro-Hoover speakers as Cath- erine Waugh McCulloch, president of the Illinois Woman's Enforcement league, noted lawyer and leader in the Democratic party; Congressman Mor- ton D. Hull, and U. S. Senator Freder- ick Steiwer were scheduled to speak. Outstanding Winnetka leaders on the speakers' program were John R. Mont- gomery and Frederick Copeland. Wilmette launched considerable ac- tivity in the final weeks of the cam- paign, the Republicans and Democrats each establishing headquarters. Several meetings have been held, the speakers being, for the most part, state and county nominees. . See Big Hoover Majority That New Trier will roll up a trem- endous majority for Hoover is a fore- gone conclusion, according to local Republican leaders, who also predict that Glenn, Emmerson, and the entire Republican state ticket will not be far behind the standard bearer. The only exception noted in this connection .s the recent movement toward Floyd E. Thompson, Democratic candidate for governor. Mr. Thompson spoke before a crowded house at Winnetka last week and appears to have a sizable following from within the Republican ranks along the shore. Of especial interest to New Trier voters is the letter sent out this week by the New Trier Republican commit- tee, comprised of precinct committee- men and other leaders, making un- qualified endorsement of candidates in the county election who in the prim- aries were aligned against the Crowe- Galpin-Eller faction which suffered all but complete obliteration at thal time. : The letter shows the New Trier Continued on page 12) Get Out the Vote! That is the slogan of the Win- netka Women Voters' league in its busy preparations for intense ac- tivity on Election Day next Tues- day. The league members have com- pleted a well defined organization designed to get every eligible Win- netka voter to the polls next Tues- day. To secure an accurate record of the results of their efforts, the league members will maintain a painstaking check of every voter entering the poll- ing places on Election Day. Winnetka has a two-fold interest in achieving a high vote percentage next Tuesday. The primary purpose, of course, is to imbue every citizen with a sense of patriotic duty, while a sec- ondary, but none the less important, objective is that silk flag award of the Winnetka Izaak Walton league to the New Trier Village which polls the highest percentage of its qualified vote next Tuesday. The village winning the Izaak Walton flag three times becomes per- manent possessor of the coveted tro- phy. To date Kenilworth has twice taken the award, while Winnetka has topped the field on one occasion. It will be an uphill battle for Winnetka to wrest the prize from Kenilworth this year since the unprecedented reg- istration augurs an exceedingly close contest. But, Winnetka revels in just such a fight. The Winnetka Women Voters' league will see to it that the Izaak Walton league award comes back to our village, The league wishes to announce that automobiles will be available through- out the day next Tuesday to carry voters to the polls. Such transporta- tion may be obtained by calling Mrs. A. M. Ferry, Winnetka 716.

WINNETKA 2000 Busy Campaigner Mrs. Robert Gay, 938 Sheridan road, has been having an extremely impor- tant part in the activities of the Win- netka Women's Hoover-for-President club. As vice-president in charge of headquarters at 571 Lincoln avenue, Mrs. Gay has assumed a heavy respon- sibility in these hectic days of cam- paigning. Auction Dwyer Home Today to Provide School Play-ground The house on the old Kate Dwyer property on the northwest corner of the Horace Mann school block will be sold at public auction at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon. The Dwyer property was acquired recently by the Winnetka School board for the purposc of en- larging and beautifying the Horace Mann school grounds. The follow- ing letter concerning the auction to- day has gone out to all parents in the village from Carleton W. Washburne, superintendent of schools: "Please don't forget the auction on the Dwyer property on the southeast corner of Elm and Birch streets at 2:30 Saturday afternoon. You will remember that the Board of Educa- tion is trying to sell this house which it acquired with the property, in order that it may use the proceeds toward grading and repairing the newly ac- iired playground and improving the old. "Miss Dwyer's house will be open for inspection all day Saturday up to the time of auction." In This Issue Automobile Section ...... Page 53 Boy Scout Activities ...... Page 36 Society News .....

The witching hour of 7:30 has come and the doors of Community House are opened to three thousand little spooks, witches, and... "Limbs of Satan" that usually roam abroad on Hallowe'en night. They had been gathering in the church yard since 6:30 o'clock that night, the babble of their high-pitched voices stirring the workers inside locked doors to feverish activity so that the sprites would not be disap- pointed in having the thrill of a life- time when the doors opened. Before they could quite catch their breath after shoving through the door, the Pied Piper in the guise of a Scotchman carrying a bag-pipe and dressed in kilties, plaid, socks, and spats led the way into the gymnasium to the six-ring circus there. Two young contestants seated on a slick log held up with wooden horses be- labored each other with a punching bag until one fell off and the victor was awarded with a stick' of candy. The tight rope offered a challenge to all, though it sent many a patron un- ceremoniously sprawling onto the floor. Chamber of Horrors But .oh, the chamber of horrors! What a challenge it offered to the most mischievous, the bravest, even the most hard-boiled small boy and girl there. A blindfold, a swift slide down a shoot, only to be scooted through a long tunnel with all kinds of hard things in it, prickly electric shocks, cold water, burning paint... all over within five breathless min- utes, and the brave sat down to watch his comrade come through. Sat down? Only to rise again from a shockingly wired bench. : In the room of mystery the younger set of the village fished for dimes and nickels that never came to the sur- face, and tried to stick arrews in a hole for a stick of candy. After these disappointments, the victims had to walk the plank for their lack of skill. First aid in room two, right across the hall! The gentler, though wetter sport of apple bobbing, used up three crates of Jonathans. A whole load of favors was disposed of, though the recipents had to go through the horror of squeezing the hand of a man who had walked the plank seven years ago in the south seas. Just Kids Again For the older generation, who had to come along just to see that the children were safe, you know, there was a man with a real gazing crystal, and a real gypsy with her corps of assistants, For the tiny tots there were many attractions such as an old witch who really wasn't as bad as she looked and who went around putting jelly beans and candy corn in the palms of all the little children. You | can't be too careful about these witches, though, they have such awful faces, (Continued on page 75)
