rr WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1923 LEAGUE PRAISES LEWIS SPRINGER District's Representatives' Records Are Good Evidence that the Seventh Senatorial district, in which Wilmette, Winnetka, and Glencoe are located, is ably repre- sented in the Illinois state legislature, is contained in a letter recently sent to Clarence S. Pellet, partner of Lyman M. Drake, Wilmette, of the firm of Critchell, Miller, Whitney and Barbour and one of the leading insurance men of Chicago, written by S M. Singleton, secretary of the Legislative Voters league of the State of Illinois. Representative Named The Seventh Senatorial district is represented in the house by Lewis B. Springer, of Wilmette, Howard P. Cas- tle, of Barrington, and John W. Mec- Carthy, of Lemont. In speaking of Mr. Springer and Mr. Castle, the two representatives who are best known in this end of the district, Mr. Singleton said, "Representative Howard P. Castle, during his third term at Springfield, maintained the enviable record that he had previously made there. As chairman of the house judici- ary committee he gave tireless service, and the work of that important commit- tee was exceptionally painstaking and thorough. By his effectiveness in de- bate and his fearless opposition to un- desirable measures Mr. Castle won in- creased recognition as one of the real leaders of the Assembly. Praises Lew Springer "Representative Lewis B. Springer, of Wilmette, the other Republican member of our district, showed unusual apti- tude in learning the legislative game |} during his first term and made a highly cweditable voting record. Mr. Springer introduced a bill, which became a law, establishing an experimental agricultural station in Cook county this year under the supervision of the state university. The act carries an appropriation of $25,000 for the establishment of this agricultural station and its maintenance for the next two years. "Both Mr. Castle and Mr. Springer voted against the governor's $100,000,000 road bond issue bill; and voted in favor of overriding the governor's unjusti- fiable veto of law enforcement items in the appropriation for the attorney-gen- eral's office, as well as in favor of over- riding the governor's conscienceless veto of the Park Civil Service bill. Mr. Singleton also speaks a good word for Representative McCarthy, of Lemont.

To the east, the lake sparkling with the silver reflections of a rising harvest moon or the lights of a passing ship. Below, a sea of trees and the glow of Evanston's homes and business center. There is no view in this vicinity more inspiring or more interest- ing than this never to be forgotten view from the roof of The Orrington. A wonderful Italian Ball room, two private dining rooms and outdoor refreshment service add to the enjoyment of it all and prom- ise for The Orrington not only the distinction of being Evanston's most beautiful hotel but the center of social activities as well. There is much to look forward to for those who make The Or- rington their home. THE RENTING OFFICE IS OPEN DAILY Reservations for the remaining quarters are being scheduled at the renting office, N.
