VOL. XVII, NO. 29 D DIER CRUSHES SIAU-CRQWE TICID Electorate of Township Delmra KDockoat Primary Election Notes One precinct in Winnetka, the twenty-fourth, e3tablished a record seldo~ equ~lled. W~en the votes for governor in that precanct were counte~ it was discovered that there wasn't a single vote ·for Len SmalL Louis 1... Emmerson got them all and there ~as a total of 207. In the same precmct the Small-Thompson-Cr.owe machine got another rap almost as disastrous when Swanson, 3eeking the nomination for State's Attorney, collected 196 votes while Crowe was given two. Also. Frank L. Smith got six votes against 192 for Otis F. Glenn. Speaks at New Trier Anti-Crowe C.lltlatea for P.,.. cinct Po.ta Take II ol · . · New Trier Diltricta The avalanche in New Trier Township last Tuesday which ~wept S~U, Smith, Crowe and others mto potitt~l oblivion was made complete when SIXteen candidates for precinct committeemen, avowed foes of the SmaUThompson-Smith-Crowe machine, were carried to victory. These sixteen men were returned winners out of a total of the twenty-six precincts, twelve in Wilmette, one in Kenilworth, ten in Winnetka and three in Glencoe. In Wilmette, the struggle for votes was spectacular and raged hot until the final ballots were cast. Six men aligned a~ anti~Crowe battlers, Lewis B. Springer in the Seventeenth, George W. Kibby in the Sixteenth; Harry. C. Kinne in the Thirteenth, Fred V. Lippen in the Fourteenth, ~ A. Zimmerman in the Eighteenth and Elmer Lundin in the Nineteenth ~ere · the candidates who came through with flying colors, to the · humiliation of their over-confident opponents. O..COme Bia Odds The triumph of these committeemen candidates is of great importance in view of the fact that no less than three-Kinne, Zimmemtan and Lundin · -were eleventh hour entries, going into the race too late to have thei~ names placed on the ballot. Their names had to be written in on the ballots. Receiving the endorsement of the Voters' Advisory committee of Wilmette, after filing time had elapsed, they consented to run in order to "bust" the anti-Crowe forces. For this reason their success was a big achievement. Much credit is due the Advisory committee and others who individually worked night and day to bring about Tuesday's great victory. Ceta Lacky 'Break' There would have been at least one more defeat of a Thompson-Crowe candidate in Wilmette but for careless markjn~ of ballots. Ro~er Wiltiams, who, like the succesSful candidates mentioned. entered the race too late to have his name olaced on the ballot, would have been - returned a winner had not at least twenty-four :votes been thrown out because of.. iml)roper markin~. As it was Williams was de:.. . feated by the scant inarJ!in of thirteen votes by Countv CommissiQner Oscar W. Schmidt, who is a veteran committeeman of the Fifteenth orecinct. It was a ~lose call for Schmidt. and a tough break for: Williams with votes thrown out. There were numerous rlose conte~ts and a few upsets. In Winnetka the hattie for votes between Carlton Proutv and George Campbell was a . hot one Proutv, IonS! a comrnittf"Cman in the Twenty-fifth pre!=inct. won. but his margin of victory was no ~r ~Pven votes. the figures bein~ 138 to . ' chiae Candidates Blow to Biar Ma- 7 \ \ hat New Trier Township may have lacked in numbers, it most assuredly made up in precentage last Tuesday in contributing richly to the almost complete obliteration of the pernicious Small-Thompson-C r ow e political combine which in its various aspects has held Chicago, Cook County and the State of Illinois in veritable bondage for the past eight or ten years. Representing a comparatively small corner of Cook county, New Trier delivered virtually all she had in the way of ballots in the Republican Primary election-the biggest vote in north shore history-in the determination to lend every ounce of strength to the forces that were united in the cause of removing from Chicago and Illinois the unsavory reputation gained by the state and city. Aa Awakeaed Citme111'7 New Trier's contribution to the route of the Small-Thompson-Crowe forces will stand for many years as a model example of the tremendous power of the ballot when placed in the hands of a thoroughly awakened citizenry. That the township would handsomely support the Anti-Smallj Crowe candidates was taken as a matter of course, but that this opposition to the Republican machine would develop into an all but unanimous expression of condemnation of the powerful combine, was beyond the fondest dreams of the most sanguine of voters. In not a single precinct did Len Small poll as high as fifty votes. One precinct in Winnetka was unanimous for Louis L. Emmerson. The 26 districts gave Emmerson the tremendous majority of 9,758 to 487. Nor did Dailey, Smith, Crowe or any of the lesser Small-Crowe candidates fare much better. Crowe, admittedly the strongest of his group, was forced to be content with a total of 876 votes as against 9,166 for his opponent, Judge John A. Swanson. AU D-.ea Mea Woa Bernard Barasa polled the highest vote of the Pro-Crowe group, his total being 1,267, his . opponent, Edw~rd Litzinger of the Deneen garnermg 8,242 votes. Attorney General Oscar E. Carlstrom's total in the township was 9,133, as against 675 for John ~~ile~. For United States Sell.:ttor Otts l·. Glenn, the Deneen candidate, overwhelmed Frank L. Smith, 9,180 to 728. Ruth Hanna McCormick led the way among the candidates for Congressman-at-large with a total of 6,798, Henry R. Rathbone was next ~ith 5,664, while Richard Yates traaled with 3,437. In the battle for State Representative Mrs. Anna Wilmarth Ickes was first choice with 15,927, with Lewis B. Springer, Charles F. W. Forberg and William F. Propper following in that order. Mr. Springer had 7.294; Forberg, 1,861, and Propper, 513. Congressman Carl R. Chindblom was the overwhelming choice for Representative in Congress, amassing 7,100 votes. His nearest competitor, Leslie Scott Lowden, polled 726. Tlae total aamber of Yotea cut ia New Trier Towaahip eatabli81aea a . . . record.
