August 18, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 41 MAP NEW DRY EFFORT W. C. T. U. Plans Active Part in Na- tional Political Campaign; Dispatch Tons of Literature A campaign of education in prohibi- tion is occupying attention and ener- gies at the national headquarters of the W.C.T.U.,, 1730 Chicago avenue, and will keep that organization active, it is reported, until November 5. The campaign is the part of the or- ganization's contribution to national politics in the year of a campaign is- sue. It is conducted on non-partisan and non-personal lines. Hundreds of pounds of literature are coming to and leaving from the building under the general direction of Mrs. Anna Mar- den DeYo. Mrs. Ella Boole, national president of the organization, who was elected world vice-president in July at the meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland, is expected to return to Evanston next week to aid in supervising the cam- paign direction. Miss Anna Gordon, world president, will in the east this week and will visit friends there before returning to Ev- anston. Mrs. Margaret Munns, na- tional and world treasurer, is prolong- ing her stay abroad and visiting sev- eral places on the continent and in the British Isles before returning. There are 171 Jewish congregations in Illinois, owning synagogue buildings, valued at $7,754,478. Adams | arrive | The Voters' Column by Hoyt King An important step accomplished this week in the divorce of crime from po- litics, forced by the exposures of the Special Grand Jury, was a movement to organize the Republican County Campaign committee. The campaign is usually conducted by the Executive committee of the County Central com- mittee. However, indictments charging fraud, kidnapping and murder at the last Primary against subordinates and followers of Homer Galpin, State's At- torney Crowe, Bailiff Snow and Mor- ris Eller, members of the Executive Committee, made it plain that the fate of Judge Swanson for State's Attorney could not be entrusted to these men. Representatives of the National and State candidates are giving the situa- tion attention. A press item says, "The arrange- ment of final details has been left in the hands of two Chicago Republican leaders. One is George Woodruff, vice-president of the National Bank of the Republic and active in the cam- paign for Hoover and Curtis. The other is State Representative David E. Shanahan, dean of the Illinois Legis- lature." A committee appointed by these men would still have in question to what extent to trust the Ward Committee- men controlled by the Crowe-Galpin- Eller group. Many leaders contend that the cam- paign will have to be a citizens' cam- paign, if they make good on their vic- tory in the April Primary and com- plete the work laid out for the State's Attorney by the Special Grand Jury. Albert A. Brunker of the Swanson Business Men's Organization is al- ready in the field and his work will need the support of leaders in every Chicago ward and country town. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Woodruff and small daughter, Annette, are leaving the end of the month for Detroit, Mich., where they will live. Mrs. Woodruff was formerly Beatrice Pease of 320 Leicester road, Kenilworth. -- Miss Harriet and Miss Elizabeth Stuart, formerly of Kenilworth, are on their way to Europe for a late summer visit. Their father, George Stuart, is already in England. They will return in the fall. --Q-- Mr. and Mrs. George Richards of 530 Essex road, Kenilworth motored to Ellison Bay, Wis. recently to see their son George Jr. who is at camp there. --O-- Mrs. R. W.
