4 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 1924 VOTERS' LEAGUE PLANS BIG YEAR New Year to Begin Early in October October 13 has been set for the open- ing fall meeting of the Winnetka Lea- gue of Women Voters, Mrs. Walter L. _ Benson, the newly elected president, an- nounced this week. It is the goal of the league to have 75 percent of the women of Winnetka turn out at the polls for the presidential election in No- vember. At the election here this spring 56 percent of the women voted. While this is considerably better than the aver- age for the state of Illinois, which was 46 percent, the Winnetka league is con- fident that Winnetka can and will show a large increase in the use of the bal- lot this fall. The establishing -of headquarters in Community House is to be a new fea- ture of the league this year., Here in- formation on candidates and bills may be obtained at all times. As the Win- netka league is a part of the national league, it has at its disposal the accu- mulated information of this nation-wide organization. The information gathered by the league is unbiased by any party affiliations. These: Winnetka women, whether Republican, Democrat, Social- ists or unaffiliated, have unusual oppor- tunity of exceptionally easy access to the facts and figures they wish to know before going to the polls. In addition to Community House headquarters many other new features have been planned to make the work of the league more far-reaching and helpful to the woman who desires to use the citizens privilege and duty with in- telligence. Among these is a series of lectures in October and November by Mrs. Walter F. Dodd, of Chicago. The league feels most fortunate to have secured the ser- vices of this well known lecturer and government expert, who is the co-author of "Government in Illinois." Mrs. Dodd's subjects include--governments in the U. S.; registration; party membership; pri- maries; governments over the citizens of Winnetka. These lectures will be free to the league members. f Monthly luncheons will be held dur- ing the fall and winter. A final appeal to former members who have not yet paid their dues for this year is being sent out this week by the new chairman of the finance committee, Mrs. Austin Jenner of Hill road. The dues are so small that it is no wonder that some members have overlooked their notices, it is explained. The lea- gue is open to every woman in Win- netka and Kenilworth and a large mem- bership has enabled the organization to operate effectively at a very small cost per person. Any woman wishing to join the league may do so by communi- cating with Mrs. Harold Delay, 878° Oak street. --because the stroke of the clapper causes metal vibrations which start air waves.
