August 11, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 7 Hoover and State G.O. P. Ticket Win Editors' Support Harmony and a spirit of enthusiastic co-operation, together with roseate predictions of victory for Herbert Hoover and the entire state ticket in [llinois in November led by Louis L. Emmerson, nominee for Governor, were the interesting features of a luncheon and reception tendered 300 Republican newspaper editors of the state by the Republican State Central committee of Illinois at the Hotel LaSalle, Chicago, Saturday, August 4. It was an old-fashioned political lovefeast at which plans for the cam- paign were discussed and old friend- ships renewed. An informal inquiry disclosed the fact that every Reublican newspaper in the state is supporting Hoover and the entire State ticket and that many of the independent papers are for the Republican nominees in the present campaign. William W. Loomis of La Grange, president of the Illinois Press asso- ciation, presided at the luncheon. Among those seated at the Speak- ers' Table were: Louis L. Emmerson, nominee for Governor; Otis F. Glenn, nominee for United States senator; Fred E. Ster- ling, nominee for Lieutenant Gover- nor: Oscar Nelson, nominee for State Auditor ; Omer N. Custer, nominee for State Treasurer; William J. Stratton, nominee for Secretary cf State; Con- gressman William E. Hull of Illinois; Congressman Dickinson of Iowa and John H. Harrison of Danville. Telegrams were read from Oscar E. Carlstrom, nominee for Attorney- General; Ruth Hanna McCormick and Richard Yatts, nominees for Congress- man-at-Large, who expressed regret at their inability to attend because of previous engagements. "I do not think that the farmers are willing to intrust the solution of the agricultural problem to Tammany Hall, which evidently believes that corn grows in cans instead of in a field," said Louis L. Emmerson. "They will, I believe, prefer to have this great question studied and settled finally by that great economist, Her- bert Hoover, who is superbly fitted for the task by education and experi- ence. Nobody has a certain remedy for agricultural relief. The question may have to be solved by a series of experiments. The Republican Party may be relied upon to find a solution for this problem. "We are facing an unusual cam- paign. Never before have both of the national party platforms been so much alike. There really is little difference between them." "As editors, you are going to talk about the great history and achieve- ments of the Republican Party and contrast it with the record of the Democratic Party. You are going to compare the personalities, records and fitness of the two candidates for the high office of President. "We are going to depend on the women to help win this fight and I know who they will be for. They will be for Herbert Hocver and the entire Republican State Ticket in Illinois." Mr.eand Mrs. Frank Windes and Miss Margery Windes of 873 Spruce street, returned recently from Gris- wolda, at Ludington, Mich., where they have been for the past month. --0-- Miss Marcia Converse, 396 Haw- thorn lane, with Miss Vera Leahy of Evanston is spending some time with Miss Irene Baehr of Glencoe on the Baehr ranch near Denver, Colo. --_--Q Mr. and Mrs. C.

Strong Hollens Team Breaks Winnetka's Winning Streak The winning streak of the Winnetka baseball team was temporarily inter- rupted Thursday evening when they traveled to Welles park, Chicago, and took the short end of a 9 to 0 game. The Hollens are perhaps the strong- est semi-pro team in the Chicago mid- west league, and it is no surprise that the Winnetka team was defeated. Carey and Izard were the only two athletes who could connect safely with the offerings of Dutch Blackburn, for- mer big league twirler. Each con- nected only once. The Hollens pounded Lefty Mills hard to score their nine runs. Sunday the Winnetka club will re- new its efforts for the Fairplay cup, when they engage the strong Glencoe nine at the Skokie Playfield. Starting time of the game is 3 o'clock. Mrs. Brownell Tompkins of Morris- ville, N. Y., has been visiting Mrs. N. Landon Hoyt of 535 Sheridan road, and Mrs. P. W. Bradstreet of 475 Cedar street. --O Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Hoyt, Jr., and family are home from Vermillion, Minn., where they have been spending a month.
