With Republican factions sharply divided, the voting on Tues- day will mark thé culmination of many weeks of bitter campaigning for the favor of the electorate in the suburban communities round-about Chicago. Insofar as New Trier is concerned the big fight is in connection with the nomination of county commissioners, since both the Deneen and Crowe-Bar- rett-Brundage factions have candi- dates who are residents of the town- ship--Frederick W. Penfield of Glen- coe and Oscar W. Schmidt of Wil- mette are opponents in the campaign- ing, the former aligned with the Den~en group, and Schmidt with the opposing faction. Backed by "700" Seven hundred residents of New Trier, organized as "The Committee of 700" have come out openly as en- dorsing Penfield and the other Deneen candidates for county commissioners, and have been waging a vigorous cam- paign of education to acquaint the township with the issues, flooding the north shore community with literature which embodies the warning that "New Trier faces a crisis at the Pri- maries." "Shall New Trier interests be sacrificed because politicians choose your candidates?" they ask the voters, contending that the Crowe-Barrett- Brundage faction, not being "satisfied with its control of city politics, is try- ing to force its candidates upon the country towns." "The crisis is here--" they point out, "the country towns ot elect men who have shown by their service in the past that they will work for the interests of the country towns and not for a political faction." The "Committee of 700," of which Gen. John V. Clinnin is chairman, en- dorses the candidacies of the follow- ing men for county commissioners: Rely on Records William Busse, Mount Prospect, for commissioner and president of the county board; Frederick W. Penfield, Glencoe; Lachlan W. MacLean, of Evanston; Dudley D. Pierson of Chi- cago Heights, and George A. Miller of Oak Park, for commissioners. These men are at present commissioners. Mr. Penfield was formerly village president of Glencoe and is now chair- man of the Glencoe Plan commission. His record as a county commissioner is regarded as highly progressive and strongly in the interests of New Trier | needs, as well as those of the entire country towns district. Mr. Busse has been a county com- missioner for 24 years, and has served previously as president of the board. He is seeking re-election on his re- count of more than a score of years' service to the county. The Crowe-Barrett-Brundage group, with New Trier headquarters estab- lished at 605 Main street, Wilmette, has not been idle. From this source has gone out literature in plentiful quantity setting forth the merits of the various candidates. The town- ship has been canvassed with meticul- ous care with the result that virtually every householder has become fairly familiar with the campaign issues and the candidates of this persuasion. Schmidt Strong Candidate Of particular interest to New Trier voters is the candidacy for county commissioners of Oscar W. Schmidt of Wilmette, formerly village president of his home community and well known in Chicago insurance circles. He is described as a thorough organ- izer and Lighly efficient in any work he undertakes. His greatest joy one is told, is the keen competition of the bowling alleys, with golf running a close second for favor. He is well known in athletic circles and was formerly president of the Illinois and Chicago bowling associations. He is regarded as one of the strongest of the Crowe-Barrett candidates. He is endorsed by the Oscar W. Schmidt Booster club of New Trier. Frank J. Kriz of Western Springs is said to have a strong non-partisan following. He is a banker and busi- ness man and is at present a county commissioner, and a Crowe-Barrett power to secure the favor of the vot- ers, it is said. Joseph P. Carolan, of River Forest, another candidate for county commis- sioner under the Crowe-Barrett ban- ner, is engaged in the insurance busi- ness, and was the first superintendent of the Forest Preserve. C. Ernest Guyton of Evanston is an- other Crowe-Barrett county commis- sioner candidate. He was formerly an Evanston alderman and prominent in civic affairs in that city. Another candidate for county com- missioner in the Crowe-Barrett group is John W. Jaranowski. For president of the County board the Crowe group has Francis L. Bou- tell. Have Fine Records Candidates for the state legislature on the Deneen ticket are Representa- tives Howard P. Castle, lawyer, of Barrington, and Lewis B. Springer of Wilmette, who are candidates for re- election. Both of these men have served several terms and are widely known to voters of New Trier. Both have the endorsement of the Legisla- (Continued on Page 46)
