October 20, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 11 Waukegan Next Foe for New Trier Grid Squad; Tough Game New Trierites are eagerly awaiting this Saturday's game at Waukegan. The Gray-Green team expects to make up for the one defeat of last season, which it suffered at Waukegan's hands. The score of that bitterly con- tested struggle was Waukegan 7--New Trier 6, in spite of the fact that Mark- ley carried the ball over Waukegan"s line, on a pass from Nelson in the last quarter. hat last touchdown didn't count because the referee claimed that Nelson was not five yards back of the scrimmage line when he passed the ball, This season's game is sure to be a hard one as neither team has been de- feated and both have shown a strong attack in previous games. New Trier defeated Lake View 26-0 and tied Lindblom. Waukegan has beaten two strong teams by close scores. Three weeks ago they beat Marshall 9-7, by a safety in the first quarter and a touchdown in the last period, earned by their dazzling passing attack. Two weeks ago they were able to nose out Kenosha, 7-0 on account of a Kenosha fumble and a short but successful pass in the first quarter. New Trier will be worried by the activity of Waukegan's star end, Pal- ucious, and their halfback, Levandus- ky. It is safe to say that if Levandus- ky ever gets loose he won't be stopped for he is one of the fastest sprinters on the North Shore. Byars, the fu k, is also a good player and can y be counted on making the extra points after touchdowns. Mrs. W. R. English, 375 Hawthorn lane, and Miss Helen English returned recently from a ten day motor trip to Omaha. Mrs. Etta Washburn, 71, Dies After Trip Abroad Mrs. Etta Washburn, 71, of 720 Wil- low road, died Wednesday night at St. Luke's hospital. Mrs. Washburn had entered the hospital Wednesday morn- ing after returning from a European tour that was interrupted by her illness in Paris. She had spent some time in the American hospital there. Two months ago Mrs. Washburn left here for Europe, hoping to regain her health by travel. She was accom- panied by a niece, Miss Louise Bur- roughs, of Lake Forest. Upon reaching Paris she was unable to go further. She sailed for home October 6. A nephew, R. F. Hyman, of 630 Gar- land avenue, survives her. Mrs. Wash- burn was the widow of a Galesburg manufacturer. Fred R. Burroughs, a brother living in Chicago, Fred IL. Washburn, a stepson, of San Fran- cisco, and Robert W. Hyman, a nephew, of Chicago, are the only other survivors. Funeral services were to be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock at the chapel in Oakwoods cemetery.

Miller, Ex-President of Winnetka, Gives His Reason in Open Letter Chicago, Illinois October 16, 1928 To the Smith-for-President Club Fellow Citizens of Winnetka: As some of you know, I am one of the many Republicans who in- tend to vote for Governor Smith for President at the coming election You have asked me my reasons. I am glad to give them. Principles of government of vital importance to our people run the gauntlet November 6th. Shall the ballot of the bigot and the fanatic control us? Shall we be told more and more from 'Washington how to live and how to feel? Shall the present theory of Prohibition be approved at the polls? I will vote for Governor Smith in part because of his courageous and intelligent stand on the question of Prohibition. Supporters of Mr. 'Hoover are trying to make out that there is no real issue on this ques- tion between Hoover and Smith. But the fact is that Hocver stands for Prohibition in its present form, except for modification of the method of its enforcement. Smith stands for temperance but advocates a change in the present theory of prohibition--not merely in the method of its enforcement. This is made clear by an examination of the utterances of the candidates themselves. Both platforms pledge enforcement of the law ; and on this both candidates agree. There is, therefore, no issue on this question. Nor is there any issue upon the following points, upon which both candidates have expressed substantially identical views: 1. That there should be no return to the saloon. 2. That grave abuses have occurred incident to the present law. Beyond this the candidates part, and there can be no reconcilia- tion of their views. Their pcsitions may be summarized thus: Hoover: Stands for principles of present Prohibition law. Thinks abuses due to enforcement methods and recom- mends investigation looking toward improvement of en- forcement machinery. Admits right of others to favor amendment of Constitution but does not himself ad- vocate it, and in the same breath denies possibility of modifying present Prohibition policy without constitu- tional amendment. Believes that there should be fundamental changes in the present Prohibition laws and promises to make constructive recommendations to Congress to this end. Says Hoover: "I do not favor the repeal of the 18th Amendment. I stand for the efficient enforcement of the laws en- acted thereunder. "Our country has deliberately undertaken a great social and economic experiment, noble in motive and far reaching in purpose. It must be worked out con- structively." Says Smith: "It is well known that I believe there should be fundamental changes in the present provisions for na- tional prohibition. While I fully appreciate that these changes can only be made by the people themselves through their elected legislative representatives, I feel it to be the duty of the chosen leader of the people to point the way which in his opinion leads to a sane, sensible solution of a condition which I am convinced is entirely unsatisfactory to the great mass of our people." That is the issue. It is an irreconcilable one. No one opposed to the Sontictation of the present Prohibition program can be with Hoover on it. Smith: Whatever be said regarding specific recommendations of change, Smith promises constructive and courageous leadership. His oppon- ent offers no leadership but offers only more bureaucratic investigation to a country already weary of such. Governor Smith has acted as a sincere and honorable man in tak- ing the position that he would, if elected, enforce the law, and at the same time stating that he did not approve of the law and under his constitutional duty "to recommend to the Congress such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient" (Contitution Article IL Sec. 3), would recommend to Congress a change. This is exactly the position which Lincoln took regarding Slavery. During the campaign and after his election, he again and again stated in his public addresses and letters that he did not believe in slavery but so long as it was lawful under the Constitution he would enforce the law and recognize slavery and at the same time recommend a change in the law. He advocated and recommended to Congress an amendment to the Constitution abol- ishing slavery. Roosevelt took a similar stand on the question of anti- trust legislation, and recommended a constitutional amendment on this subject, at the same time enforcing the existing laws. But even more important than the Prohibition issue is that of in- tolerance. Shall we be ruled by a minority of fanatics? The bigots are marshalled against Governor Smith. It is not only a duty but a privilege for any open-hearted man to vote for him. And back of all, underlying the whole fabric of the campaign, is the question whether we choose to be directed and nursed by a more and more centralized government. Mr. Hoover's whole philosophy of government, judged by his utterances and his public service, is one of a closely-knit, highly organized bureaucracy. He would say to us either "You must do this or that," or at least "It will be better if you do this or that and our government bureaus in Washi on will help you." He would standardize our lives. He would make Texas and Maine, Washington and Florida, think and feel alike, live in the same Nay and be subject more and more to the same restrictions and regula- ons. Lastly, I shall vote for Governor Smith because I believe he is better fitted than Mr. Hoover to lead men. The chief function of the President is to lead men over whom he has no authority. Mr. Hoover has displayed consummate ability as a dictator and as an organizer of material things. There is nothing in his record that convinces me that he has the capacity of a great leader of men. Governor Smith has displayed this quality in a very high degree. Yours very truly, JOHN S. MILLER ----
