October 31, 1925 WINNETKA TALK Winnetkans in Race to Secure Largest Number of Voters Mrs. Walter Benson, president of the Winnetka League of Woman Vo- ters, was hostess at a tea Wednesday afternoon, October 28, to open the membership drive of the League. She had as her guests, the precinct chair- and the block captains of the League, about twenty in all. Mrs. Har- old Del.ay, chairman of the drive, explained the rules of the membership race. She said that the drive was to begin immediately at the close of the tea; each block captain and precinct chairman must confine herself to her respective block and precinct in getting memberships for the first ten days and the second ten days will be kind of "free for all", as any one can canvass anywhere. A complete canvass of the village is to be made, and renewals of mem- berships will count the same as new members. The captain who turns in the largest number of memberships will receive the prize, two first floor seats to an evening performance of the Chicago Civic Opera. The name of the prize winner will be announced on the closing day of the drive, November 18. The list of precinct chairmen for this year is now completed except for one name. Chairmen who are new this year, are Mrs. Joseph R. Draff, Mrs. L men | Portis, Mrs. J. J. Sampson, Mrs. Mer- ril Dement, Mrs. Isaac Rothschild, and Mrs. Henry Urion. Those who continue from last year include Mrs. W. W. Shoemaker, Mrs. Robert Me- hren, Mrs. Charles Strong, Mrs. Theo- dore Coyne, Mrs. Roger Sherman. Mrs. Ralph Snyder and Mrs. Durant Allen are two block captains new this week. They will work under Mrs. Graff.

The subject of the debate was an- nounced as "Resolved, that the growth and activities of the socialistic move- ment are detrimental to social pro- gress." Chapman and his colleagues upheld the negative. Chapman's chief point was that socialism is not nec- essarily the waving of Russian red flags. Chapman won his place on the team in a competition open to all members of the university. He is prominent in Harvard debating circles, being presi- dent of the Debating council.
