re------ 6 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 22, 1924 = FACTS FOR VOTERS ! By League of Women Voters 1 THE WHY AND WHEREFORE OF THE PRIMARY During the early history of our country when everyone knew every- one else and there were few officials to select, men were nominated in friendly fashion at meetings of all the voters. As the country grew and de- veloped, the government became more complex in order to meet the needs of the people and more offices were created. The citizens grouped them- selves into political parties, choosing their candidates according to party beliefs. Dominating each party was the party boss who often unfortunate- ly ran the party for his own personal gain. In many cases he allied himself with corrupt interests, and so secret elections, votes bought and paid for with political jobs and stacked con- ventions were the result. The method of nomination by con- vention as practiced at that time gave too much power to the political lead- ers and did not give the voters the opportunity to express their own choice of candidates. Hence several of the states passed legislation, reg- ulating parties by requiring due notice Building Permits Show Springtime Is at Hand Building permits for Winnetka dur- ing the last week totaled more than $50,- 000, a good indication that Spring weather is near at hand, since the prop- erty owners are evidently renewing build- ing activities. Permits were granted as follows: L. S. Slocum, to erect a two-story frame residence with garage attached, value $11,000, at 1356 Asbury avenue; Mahlon E. Sharp, to build a two-story frame residence, value $8,000, at 1103 Ash street; Charles Kristoff, $350 one- story garage at 1143 Cherry street; L. H. G. Bouscaren, to rebuild two-story frame residence at 646 Prospect avenue, value $7,000; Arthur J. Rudolph, to rebuild one-story frame porch, value $500, at 856 Foxdale avenue; Perry Maynard, $1,500, rebuilding two-story brick building at 1048 Gage street; Ayres Boal, to alter a two-story frame residence at 701 Sheridan road, value $5,000; William B. McAdams, $11,000 frame residence at 727 Foxdale avenue; Howard F. Walsh, to erect $700 one- story garage at 862 Prospect avenue; and A. E. Bastian, 1010 Hubbard place, to erect $6,000 two-story residence. 1924 Model Dealer Is Subject for Discussion "The local automobile dealer who has ) ) 1C€ 1 not kept abreast of the recent and atiig- of elections of candidates and posting ot kept abreast of the recent and amaz of the time and place of the primary. Althought the Primary system as used today is not perfect, it is a big step in the right direction. It is reg- ulated by the State Primary law and is a party contest where members of the party choose party candidates for the next general election. Therefore it takes the place of the caucus and convention. The expense of the Primary is borne by the State. What is known as the closed Primary, is used in Illinois. This simply means that the voter having once allied himself with a definite party must vote that parties ticket at the next Primary. However, this does not interfere with the way he may wish to vote at the general election on November 4th. Should he wish to change his party he must refrain from voting at the Primary for two suc- cessive years. The great bulk of our candidates who will appear on the November 4th ballot will be nominated at the com- ing Primary, April 8th. It is most im- portant that all citizens vote at this time. If the best candidates are not nominated at this time, it will be im- possible to elect the best candidates in November. This is also the voters only chance to express himself in his party government, for he elects the officers 'of his party at this time. Skokie School P. T. A. to Present Group of Plays The Parent-Teacher association of the Skokie school is planning a program of plays for the second week in April, among those contemplated being "The Pot Boilers," by Alice Gerstenberg, and "Ticklen Time."

T. Wersted of Wersted Motor company. "The remarkable improvements in au- tomobiles reflected in the 1924 models will be realized by the car owner in largest measure only when delivered and backed by a good, dependable local dealer. "The dealer has so much to do with local satisfaction in car ownership that unless he is prepared with the knowl- edge and equipment necessary to meet the service requirements of 1924 cars, he is as obsolete as the car models of yesterday."

In these days of so many accidents and so many people hurt and killed by automobiles, the only safe thing for an owner of an automobile is to be insured for Liability and Property Damage. Every owner is wise to take this precaution against severe loss, should an accident happen and one can well afford to pay the premium for such insurance which is not excessive. I write insurance for the OLD AETNA INSUR- ANCE COMPANY with Two Hundred Million to I should be glad to have you come in and talk insurance. CLARK T. NORTHROP, Agent 556 Center St., Winnetka, Ill. -
