June 9, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 63 FAVOR BAR NOMINEES With an extremely light and scat- tered vote recorded, New Trier citizens last Monday gave a substantial major-» ity to the candidates in the county Judicial election who had the endorse- ment of the Chicago Bar association. The vote, here as elsewhere in the county, was one of the lightest on record and in decided contrast with the remarkably heavy vote polled in recent spring primaries. Mrs. Robert H.
