- April 2, 1926 WINNETKA TALK URGE NECESSITY OF LARGE VOTE TUESDAY Contest for Office of Marshal and Collector Adds Zest to Village Ballot Tuesday, April 6, is election day in Winnetka. Four village trustees are to be elect- ed--three for two-year terms--one for one year. In addition, a village treas- urer, a clerk, a marshal and collector, and two library trustees are to be elected. The Village ticket chosen at the cau- cus on March 15 is contested in only one office the village marshal and col- lector. Theodore Flynn, the choice of the Village ticket and the present in- cumbent, is being opposed by Daniel Connolly, running as an independent. What might otherwise be a quiet and uneventful election is thus given an issue that promises to make the ballot- ing an interesting one, with a much larger vote than would otherwise be the case. Important Issue Members of the Village Caucus com- mittee, in support of their candidates, have appealed to the voters of Win- netka pointing out that the contested office is a much more important one than is apparent on the surface. The village marshal and collector, according to the committee, is not only responsi- ble for the collection of considerable sums, but lecally also has authority over the village police force, though, by common consent, that authority has not been exercised during recent vears. Theodore Flynn. the Caucus candidate. has held the office for a number of vears and, as pointed out by the Com- mittee. has served satisfactorily and ha fulfilled two important pledges mad before each election and now renewed To waive the 29% collection fees on all Village special assessments to which he would be entitled by law, ac- ceptine, instead, a small fixed salary. To permit the Village council to direct the Village police force. The opposing candidate, according to the Caucus committee, has not public- ly, nor as far as they know privately made these pledges or anv other calcu- lated eauallv to benefit the public. The committee also stresses the fact that it has been the accepted practice in Win- netka for many years for the office to seek the man, rather than the man the office. Tt ascribes to this well-settled policy the past excellence of our Vil- lage officials, and the complete absence of partisan politics and attending abuses so common in American munici- pal affairs. The complete list of candidates: for the various offices is as follows: Village Trustees, (Two-Year Term) (Three to be chosen) Donald F. McPherson R. H. Schell Carl J. Easterberg One-Year Term Mary Langworthy Village Treacurer William E. Davis Village Clerk Stella Winslow Village Marshal and Collector (One to be chosen) Theodore Flynn Daniel Connolly Library Trustees Edward R. Lewis Dudley K.

TITO SCHIPA OPENS MUSIC CLUB SEASON World Famous Tenor to be First Artist in 1926-27 Program of Artist-Recitals Tito Schipa, the celebrated tenuis, who opens next year's series of Win- netka Music club Artist-Recitals, was born at Lecce, Italy. Schipa's parents thought him destined for the priest- hood. But at an early age he broke away from his religious studies and en- tered the conservatory at Lecce for piano study. He then became an ac- complished musician and composer be- fore his voice matured, after which he took up singing in the same institution. He made his debut in "La Traviata" in southern Italy. He won such repute in the smaller cities that he was called to Milan, where he again made his de- but in the same opera and also sang in "La Somnambula" with Mme. Galli- Curci. > : He thereafter went to Spain, where his fame as a tenor was supplemented by the introduction of some of his com-: positions by the Royal Symphony. or- chestra of Madrid. For his great art he was decorated by the king of Spain. He has likewise been decorated by, the king of Italy. From Spain Schipatra- veled to South America, where he du- plicated the laurels he won in Italy and Spain. From Buenos Aires he came to Chicago, making his debut, again with Galli-Curci, as premier lyric tenor of the Chicago Opera company, where his outstanding achievements have established him as one of the truly great personalities of the music world. He was a great favorite at Ravinia last season. en . Schipa has a tremendous operatic re- pertoire which alone would have made a career great enough for almost any tenor. But he was not satisfied. That difficult branch, concert singing, ap- pealed to him irresistibly. It is perhaps, the hardest branch of all. Alone on the stage the artist must make each song a picture without the aid of bril- liant costumes, scenery, orchestra, or 'action. Yet in that field Schipa has also secured phenomenal triumph. This is his fourth season in concert work, in which field he is possibly even more popular than in opera. : Renewals of subscriptions for next, year's series of these recitals was taken during the last concert two weeks ago. While the series is not yet fully sub- scribed, it will soon be oversubscribed. Those who dislike disappointment. should sent in their subscriptions at once to Mrs. Bessie Grant, at the Win-. netka State Bank. North Shore Art League to Hold Spring Showing The North Shore Art league will hold its annual dinner and exhibition at the Winnetka Community House on Thurs- day evening, April 15, it was announced this week.

The league announces that John Brcyn well known Chicago sculp- tor, is to start a class in modeling for beginners and advanced students about June 20.
