dupage: 11858 - will: 16054 - totals: 27912 walker - dupage: 6536 - will: 21363 - totals: 27899 hennebry - dupage: 4642 - will: 19782 - totals: 24424 mccabe - dupage: 6605 - will: 17535 - totals: 24231 the figures given are official for dupage county and unofficial from will county. it is not expected that the official count in will county will change the complexion of the returns. the election of hennebry is conceded by many political leaders. the vote in the four downers grove precincts was as follows: o'neill - 9: 427 - 8: 756 - 2: 780 - 3: 457 walker - 9: 149 - 8: 210 - 2: 216 - 3: 147 mccabe - 9: 164 - 8: 245 - 2: 108 - 3: 167 hennebry - 9: 169 - 8: 200 - 2: 99 - 3: 72 the totals are: o'neill - 2420 walker - 722 mccabe - 684 hennebry - 540 mrs. o'neill carried her home town by more than three to one over walker her nearest opponent, and her her home precinct by almost four to one. her best vote in downers grove was in the second precinct where she beat walker more than four to one. the precincts are: 9, the kidwell garage; 8, the curtiss theatre building; 2, the old legion rooms; 3, the village hall. downers grove carried the soldier bonus by a majority of 526. a last minute campaign put on by the local legion post got out the vote and was instrumental in calling the attention of the people to the need for compensation. the vote was as follows: for - 9: 217 - 8: 320 - 2: 206 - 3: 217 against - 9: 97 - 8: 141 - 2: 117 - 3: 78 in this and the totals on the public policy the blank ballots and those spoiled are included in the "nos" as they count against a little ballot. the vote on the light wines and beer question was as follows: yes - 9: 171 - 8: 164 - 2: 165 - 3: 121 no - 9: 143 - 8: 280 - 2: 240 - 3: 174 only one precinct, the kidwell garage, had a majority for light wines and beer, the others all voted against the proposition. it carried in the county by almost a two to one majority and in the state by three to one. the entire republican state and county tickets were given large majorities both in the village and the county. those elected were: oscar nelson, state treasurer francis g. blair, state supt. of public instruction j. w. armstrong, mary e. busey and merle j. trees, trustees of the university of illinois richard yates, henry r. rathbone, and winifred mason huck, congressmen at large frank r reid, congress richard j. barr, state senator lottie holman o'neill, john l. walker and michael hennebry or wm. r. mccabe, state legislature s. l. rathje, county judge clarence v. wagemann, county clerk george fix, county treasurer john f. hesterman, county sheriff lewis v. morgan, co. supt. schools the vote in precinct five, at lace was as follows: mccabe - 98 walker - 108 o'neill - 109 hennebry - 63 for soldier bonus - 86 against soldier bonus - 41 for light wines and beer - 95 <inset picture><caption john l. walker> against light wine and beer - 25 edwin j miller, of downers grove, who made a lsat minute race as an independent candidate for the office of county superintendent of schools, got one vote in lace and a total of less than 100 in the county. hinsdale turned down the soldier bonus and also the light wines and beer little ballots. this was one of the surprises of the election because every other town in the county was for the bonus. in no other election ever held were there so few straight tickets voted. this holds true for downers grove and in the main for the country. most of the scratching was on the representatives for the legislature, as was expected. almost every ballot was "plumped" for either mrs. o'neill, walker, mccabe or hennebry. an indication of the scratching can be seen from the fact that out of more than 400 votes cast at the legion rooms here were but 59 straight tickets. thirty of those were republican and 29 were democrats. altho this was rather an unusual precinct, the others were not far behind. another tiny reason for red cross on the very eve starting the annual red cross roll call, nov. 11, comes this picture from smyrna showing one of the thousands of tiny tots who lost father, mother and home at the hands of the turks. red cross was active in the near east relief work of rescue. don't you want to help? to celebrate their golden wedding mr. and mrs. j. h. motsett, of saratoga avenue, just north of chicago avenue, will be at home to all their neighbors and friends next tuesday, november 14, afternoon and evening for the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage. <image><caption lottie holman o'neill> judge slusser nominated for supreme bench seventh judicial district convention met in sherman house wednesday afternoon judge m slusser, of wheaton, a former resident of downers grove, now occupying a seat on the 16th judicial circuit, was nominated for the state supreme court at a convention of the 7th judicial district held at the sherman house, chicago, wednesday afternoon. the other nominee was judge frederick r. deyoung, of harvey. the two additional places are provided for by the proposed new state constitution and the qualifying and election of the judges hinge on the state's ratification of the constitution december 12. george barr, of joliet, who was to be a candidate at the convention, withdrew at the last moment. he read a resolution endorsing the new constitution which was adopted by the convention. delegates from here were harold clarke, g. h. bunge, henry dicke, f. m. duncan and w. j. staats. preceding the convention, the dupage county republican central committee enjoyed a banquet in the grey room of the hotel. past officers' night at vesta chapter tusd'y mrs. heintz and mrs. huntington to act as worthy matron and patron for work vesta chapter, order of the eastern star, will celebrate annual past officers' night next tuesday evening. november 14. mrs. laura heintz, past matron, will act as worthy matron during the installation ceremonies and e. h. huntington, jr., past patron, will take the patron's station. the other chairs will be filled by past officers of the local chapter. mrs. louise e. hall, of riverside, who was worthy matron of the local chapter about twenty-five years ago, will be the guest of honor. celebration of o'neill victory sat. november 18 informal reception -

"tag day" for athletic field is tomorrow house-to-house caravan in an effort to provide real field for local teens knowing that everyone cannot subscribe $25 or $100 toward the community athletic field in the forest preserve and believing that every resident of the community desires to help, the citizens association is holding a tag day tomorrow, saturday, november 11 for the cause. high school students, boys and girls, being vitally interested in seeing downers grove have a "real place to play," have consented to do the tagging. they will make a house-to-house canvass saturday morning and four or five volunteer women workers will be on the streets downtown in the afternoon. the citizens associate took over the proposition of financing the field when it seemed as if the project would fall through. they received permission from those who donated funds to purchase the old north side field to apply the money on the new field. they have solicited others and about half the money necessary is now in the bank. the field will be in the forest preserve in a natural ampitheatre with hills sloping down from the east and west sides. work has already started on the field and it is beginning to take form. this is only one of the projects the association has on the fire for the convenience and betterment of the community organized for that purpose. county realtors meet monday the dupage county real estate board will hold its next meeting at the central y.m.c.a, 19 south lasalle street, chicago on next monday evening, November 13 at 6:30 p.m. The annual meeting will be held monday evening, december 4 at the same place.
