Merrill Day and Night METER CABS--TOURING CARS RY HOUR OR TRIP Phone 828 Winnetka 915 Linden Avenue Hubbard Woods October 26, 1926 To the Independent Voters of New Trier: We hope that you will carefully consider the character, ability and experi- ence of the candidates, before voting at the election on November 2nd. We believe that the candidates on the Democratic ticket are superior to their op- ponents in these essential requirements, and, therefore, that they deserve your support. This is the basis on which we ask you to vote for them. | Public attention is naturally centered on the contest for United States Senator. We wish to call your attention to the past record of George E. Brennan, nominated by the Democratic Party for that high office. As a boy Mr. Brennan worked in a coal mine; he read and studied and as a young man became a school teacher and, later, Assistant County Super- intendent of Schools of Will County, Illinois. Today he is a successful busi- ness man. He has been for nearly 20 years the Chicago Manager of the United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company. In 1921 Mr. Brennan became responsible for the nomination of ten Republican judges along with ten Democratic judges on the Democratic judicial ticket. This coalition ticket was elected, and the efforts of the Small-Lundin- Thompson machine to control the judiciary of Cook County were defeated. In 1924 he secured the nomination of Norman K. Jones as the Democratic candidate for Governor against Len Small. New Trier, although normally overwhelmingly Republican, gave Jones a majority of its votes. It was Mr. Brennan who brought about the nomination of the present ad- mirable mayor of Chicago, William E. Dever. George E. Brennan's fine record of public service is an assurance that, if elected, he will be an able and public spirited United States Senator. We submit that Mr. Brennan and the other Democratic candidates deserve your vote. Yours respectfully, ROSWELL B. MASON, 326 Ridge Ave., Winnetka, Ill. HENRY A. BERGER, 819 Chestnut Ave., Wilmette, Ill. Democratic District Committeemen for the Township of New Trier. Sound Last Call to Get Recital Tickets (By G. W.) There is still one week left be- fore the opening of the Artist-Re- cital series sponsored by the Win- netka Music club. When so fam- ous a singer as Tito Schipa comes to the north shore, it is a great event musically. Edward Moore, music critic of the Chicago Tribune, in reviewing Mr. Schipa's concert at the auditorium last Sunday says: "In matters of poise, of lovely voice, of exquisitely graceful manner of singing, he is nothing short of sup- erb." To those who have neglected it, we wish to reiterate our request of last week, "Please mail at once your check to Mrs. Bessie Grant, Winnetka State bank, Winnetka, or you may find yourself minus a ticket on November 8 when Mr. Schipa gives his recital at New Trier High School auditorium. Break Ground for Vista del Lago's New Spanish Club Discarding the conventional spade for the more effective plow, sponsors of Vista del Lago broke ground Tues- day for the new $1,500,000 shore club that is to overlook the palisades of Lake Michigan on Sheridan road just south of Kenilworth. Taking advantage of the equal-mem- bership-rights-to-woman, fifty of the fair sex from Chicago and the north shore suburbs joined their husbands and brothers at the ceremonies, ap- plauding Commodore J. Stuart Black- ton, chairman of the board, and Hugh McLennan as furrows were turned on the site of Chicago's adoption of the southern California idea in beach front development. In a brief resume of the evolution of clubs as marked by more than twen- ty shore clubs and 50,000 memberships within three years on the Pacific coast, Commodore Blackton attributed their success to Vista del Lago's motto--for Mrs. Alice Covey Fitzgerald of 826 | Locust street, who has been visiting | her sister, Mrs. A.
