} 4 TN WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 2, 1921 } -- TOWNSHIP ELECTION CONTAINS INTEREST James R. Crocker of Glencoe, Injects a Bit of. Excitement Into Rivalry For Justice of the Peace Offices RUNS AS INDEPENDENT Winters in South and Returns to North Shore To Find He Is List- ed Among the Forgotten With the Winnetka political situa- eion the most serene and peaceful in years, and a strong, unopposed ticket in the field, residents are turning with more than ordinary interest to the New Trier Township election prospects, where obtains a peculiar and, withal, interesting situation. Here we have the spectacle of an epparently shunned official rising up and injecting his own Independent ticket into the field against an array of five candidates for the five offices of justice of the peace. ' James R. Crocker, Glencoe justice of the peace, is the lone candidate on the so-called Independent ticket. Op- posing him on the North: Shore Township (regular) ticket are Fred- erick B. Crossley, Jacob M. Dicken- son, fr. Otto Falk, Daniel M. Mickey, and George W. Tapper, Jr. Tapper is a Glencoe man slated to replace Justice Crocker. Left in the Cold Crocker, it appears, had wintered in New Orleans and had given little or not thought to the approaching Township election which signified the expiration of his term and the con- sequent necessity of again going be- fore the electorate in the event he de- siregl to succeed himself. While the justice was basking com- fortably in the southern sunlight, township leaders bestirred themselves and formulated the regular ticket, known as the North Shore Township ticket. Crocker's name was omitted from the list of justice candidates. Tne North Shore Township ticket is endorsed by the New Trier Citizens League, organized eight years ago and which counts on its membership roll leaders in every village in the township. Justice Crocker returned post- haste, circulated petitions and launch- ed the Independent ticket. Glencoe is the seat of the political fight. One may expect to encounter there the old fashioned stump speeches and some torch-light parades over this week-end. Election Day for New Trier Town- ship is Tuesday, April 5. CAMP FIRE EXECUTIVE VISITS WINNETKA GROUPS Winnetka Camp Fire Girls were honored, Wednesday afternoon by a visit from Miss Edith Kempthorne, national field secretary of the Camp Fire Girls' association. The Assem- bly room in Community House was crowded to capacity with Camp Fire Girls and those interested in the or- ganization, and some groups were present from Wilmette and Glencoe. Miss Kempthorne urged a vigor- ous health program, for without health one cannot give service and do the work in life one is meant to do. She said that over a million health honors had been won by Camp Fire Girls within the past year. She had a most interesting exhibit of Camp Fire things which she had gathered on her trip across the country. She has been speaking for two months in the larger cities of the west. After the meeting she greeted the members of the Winnetka Camp Fire | Guardians' association, and around the tea table, discussed the work of Camp Fire.
