Illinois ranks second of the states in "SEND ANNA WILMARTH ICKES to SPRINGFIELD!" This is the plea of prominent citizens of the Sev- enth district who know Mrs. Ickes either as a trustee of the University of Illinois, a club and civic leader, or as a successful homemaker. Read what they say. Think over their advice. Then on Tuesday, April 1o--pri- mary day--go to the polls, ask for the Republican ballot, and-- Mark your X in front of the name of Anna Wil- marth Ickes for representative, general assembly, from the Seventh district! Here is what some of your neighbors say about Mrs. Ickes: GEN. ABEL DAVIS, GLENCOE: "I intend to support Mrs. Ickes who is a candidate on the Republican ticket as a representative in the General Assembly from the 7th district. Industry, integrity, and honesty, qualifications possessed by Mrs. Ickes, are all very essential, but above all, she has the capacity of thinking well and for her- self." STATE REPRESENTATIVE HOWARD P. CASTLE, BARRINGTON: "I believe Mrs. Anna Wilmarth Ickes well qualified for service in the general assembly and therefore favor her candidacy for one of the Republi- can nominations for representative from the 7th sena- torial district." JUDGE CHARLES M. THOMSON, WINNETKA: "There is very little use of working for the nominction of Louis L. Emmerson for governor, and for a houseclean- ing at Springfield, if you do not also work for a legis- lature that will support him. This is but one of the many very good reasons why you should vote for Anna Wilmarth Ickes as a Republican nominee for state rep- resentative." ATTORNEY DONALD R. RICHBERG, PALOS PARK: "Mrs. Ickes has the experience and capacity to exert a real influence in the house of representatives at Spring- field. By electing her, the voters of this distrct will gain a vote that will count and a voice that will be heard in the legislature. They will help their own interests and render a service to the State." MRS. GERTRUDE P. LIEBER, WINNETKA: "The home owners of the Seventh district will serve both themselves and their district if they 'plump' their votes for Anna Wilmarth Ickes for state representative. Any- one who has met Mrs. Ickes realizes that she will serve the district in this capacity with ability and distinction." REV. ROBERT E. O'BRIEN. First Methodist Epis- copal Church, BLUE ISLAND: "I firmly believe that Mes. Ickes should receive the full and undivided sup- port of every voter in the Seventh district. She is a hard worker, conscientious, and a person who, if elected, will carry into the legislature the principle of common . honesty." DR. ARTHUR I. EDISON, MAYWOOD: "Voters of the Seventh district who wish to see honesty, ability, and fearlessness in the legislature at Springfield should plump their votes for Anna Wilmarth Ickes." REMEMBER! Phimp your vote for Anna Wilmarth Ickes for State Representative, General Assembly, at the Republican Primaries, April 10. HoyT KING, WILMETTE: "The district is fortun- ate in having for a candidate, Mes. Anna Wilmarth Ickes. Mrs. Ickes' experience in public affairs fits her exceptionally for legislative duties." 1. S. ROTHSCHILD, WINNETKA: "Mrs. Ickes will add character to the legislature. Her education, training, temperament, courage and purpose will well serve the public." ATTORNEY JAMES L. HENRY, LAGRANGE PARK: (who withdrew as a candidate in favor of Mrs. Ickes) : "I believe that the duty of the hour is to unite on a candidate who is sponsored by that faction of our party which has consistently opposed misrule and corruption and therefore ask my friends to support Mrs. Anna Wilmarth Ickes." MRS. WALLACE CLAY BOSWORTH, PARK RIDGE: "Voters of the Seventh district can make no mistake in plumping their vote for Mrs. Anna Wilmarth Ickes for state representative, who has proved her ability as a lead- er. It gives me great pleasure to endorse her." How to mark your ballot! Look for the heading, Representative, General Assembly. Find Mrs. Ickes' name. It will be the last one for Representative. Place an X in front of it. Anna Wilmarth Ickes and for no other candidate for the general assembly. Waltonians Active in Protecting Wild Creatures in County By Seth E. Gordon (Conservation Director, I. W. L. A.) The wild creatures of Cook county have recently aroused the sympathy and support of every one of the thirty chapters of the Walton league, in- cluding those in Wilmette and Win- netka, as well as national headquar- ters. Several weeks ago two police offic- ers of Park Ridge learned of the pres- ence of a wild deer in their midst. Disregarding the state law they had sworn to uphold and enforce, they de- clared a little "special privilege" shoot- ing season of their own and killed a tame doe which had become the pet of the neighborhood. They even boasted to their friends about their fine marksmanship and boldly used the public's automobile to transport the carcass to a cold storage plant, await- ing the day of a big feast. Public indignation ran high. Local Waltonians and friends got busy, re- ported it to state game authorities, and caused the arrest of Acting Chief of Police, H. M. Haight and Sergeant Harold Johnson. They wriggled and squirmed in an effort to shake off the clutches of the law, but this effort only had the effect of tightening the grip. On Wednesday of last week the case was given its third and final run be- fore Judge H. J. Byrd, the Police Magistrate of Arlington Heights, in the presence of about three hundred interested men and women, including representatives of the national Walton organization. Witnesses testified reluctantly, but gave ample evidence upon which Judge Byrd convicted the principal malefactor, Mr. Haight, and imposed a fine of $75 and costs, amounting to probably $25. The charges 'against others involved were dropped. Imagine the astonished onlookers when counsel for the defense served notice that an appeal will be taken to the criminal court, where under the evidence the verdict should be sus- tained. Another case in point is the menac- ing disregard for our laws, especially those protecting wild life, as evidenced by the finding of a number of dead meadow larks and robins in the pos- session of three Italians who ran afoul of the police in Oak Park several days ago. Other charges are carrying con- cealed deadly weapons and drunken- ness. Dean Grant to Lecture ° . on Horizons of Faith "Religion in a Changing Universe" will be the first of the series of lec- tures which the Rev. Frederick Clifton Grant, S. T. D., dean of the Western Theological seminary, will deliver in Harris hall, Northwestern university, Thursday evening, April 12.
