Contests have been conspicuously absent for mnny seasons and the appearance this year of rivalry for all but two of the township offices to be voted upon is greeted with no small am.ount of interest hy the electorate. There has been no blaring of trumpets and few, if any harsh words in the campaign of the rival tickets, namely, the Ne..;, Trier Citizens League ticket and the Good Government ticket. Clean and for the most part, constructive campaign methods have been em: ployed and the mails and local press used as means of ~;;>romutgat\ng the issues, to.the absolute exclusion of stump oratory. The New Trier Citizens ticket, with two exceptions-the offices of collector and constable--comprises pers,<>ns who are candi1ates for reelection to the posts they have held for several terms. "These candidates," according to John R. Cochran, chairman of the campaign committee, "received the endorsement of the New 'l'rier Citizem league at a session of the league about a month ago whcu the records of the various incumbents were reviewed and the matter of their reappearance on the league ticket determined by a vote of representative citizens from every village in the township.
