WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 1925 FACTIONS CARRY BALLOT WAR TO HOT CLIMAX (Continued from page 1) that time will justify it in hearts of my fellow citizens. John S. Miller." Miller Tosses a Bomb : The past week has seen much activ- ity on each side. More circulars have been mailed out and questions have heen asked and answered by both fac- tions. At the Monday night meeting of the Village Ticket group at the Greeley school Mr. Miller explained to the audience that the charter under which the village is operated provides for a marshal and allows the treas- urer to deposit the village funds any- where he cares to and retain the in- terest.. It has always been customary, in late years, to require from the can- didate for. either of these offices a pledge that he will not excercise his rights under the charter. The marshal does not interfere with the police de- partment and the treasurer does not handle the village funds, nor keep the interest from them. Mr. Miller stated that so far as he knew neither George F. Batten, nor Arthur M. ¢ the "I know that Winnetka now has the best police department and the best chief of police of any suburb on the north shore. George I. Batten." And Kloepfer Replies Editor, WINNETKA TALK: "As there seems to be some doubt as to my position relative to the re- tention of interest on village funds held by the village treasurer in the event of my election, I wish to state that I will follow the custom here- tofore established of turning back to the village of Winnetka any interest earned on village funds and that I will accept only the usual salary al- lowed by the common council. "If you will publish this as an open letter I will appreciate it very much. Arthur M. Kloepfer." Parks Big Issues With these questions apparently cleared up there remains only the main campaign issue to be thrashed out-- namely: whether or not the proposed west side parks shall be acquired by special assessment. The candidates nominated by the village caucus are fighting for the parks while the Tax Payers candidates are fighting against them. Brief statements of the plat- forms of each side will be found else- where in this issue. Here Are the Candidates The candidates are as follows: On Theodore Flynn, for marshal and collec- tor; Mrs. Carrie B. Prouty and Walter T. Fisher for library trustees; Clark T. Northrop for police magistrate; Arlan W. Converse and Sidney Wellbeloved for park commissioners. On the Tax Payers ticket there are no candidates for president, police magis- trate or library trustees. The other nominees are: Justus Chancellor, Jr. Peter Johansen and J. C. Replogle for trustees; Arthur M. Kloepfer for treas- urer; George F. Batten for marshal and collector; Carl Niemann and Bernard E. Hobart for park commissioners. It is for the latter offices that the hardest fight is being made by the Tax Payers group, as victory there would satisfy the main issues of their campaign. The village election will be held Tuesday, April 7. Both sides are urging all resi- dents to inform themselves on the issues and go out and vote.
