a LC 4 October 6, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 17 DEMOCRATS ORGANIZE "Winnetka Smith for President Club" Said to Have Many Members Form- erly Republicans At a meeting at Mrs. William Gold Hibbards on Tuesday evening a group of citizens organized the the "Win- netka Smith for President Club" which will be affiliated with the vast chain of clubs of that name which are spring- ing into being all over the country. Perhaps the distinguishing mark of the Winnetka organization is the un- usually large proportion of members who do not normally vote the Demo- cratic ticket. One of the most promi- nent of these, John S. Miller, was elected president. The vice president, Ernest S. Ballard, was also brought up from the cradle in the Republican party, and Calvin Fentress, one of the important members of the executive committee, admitted as did many others at the meeting that he had voted the Republican ticket at the last presidential election. From time to time letters from such distinguished citizens will be published, advancing their reasons for voting for Governor Smith. The list of officers of the executive committee is as follows: president, John S. Miller; vice president, Ernest S. Ballard; treasurer, Roswell B. Mason; secretary, Mrs. Leslie Weary; and assistant secretary, Mrs. William W. Clore. Members of the executive committee are: Mrs. Morris L. Greeley, chair- man; Mrs. Dwight P. Green, Mrs. James F. Porter, Mrs. Perry D. Smith, Mrs. Ernest S. Ballard, Mrs. William Gold Hibbard, Mrs. Roswell B. Mason, Mrs. Frank Fuller, Mrs. Mabel S. Burke, Mrs. Robert J. Mehren, Miss Kolb, Mr. Calvin Fentress, Mr. Wil- liam B. Hale, Mr. J. Eager Lloyd, Mr. Henry F. Tenney, Mr. Jacob M. Dick- inson, Jr. and Mr. Wilmarth Ickes. The committee will probably be en- larged from time to time. After the regular business of organ- ization was concluded, the Smith en- thusiasts present plied Mrs. Hibbard with questions about her recent visit to Milwaukee where she met Mrs. Smith and her daughter personally. Headquarters are established at 555 Lincoln avenue, telephone Winnetka 619, to be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The executive secretary, Mrs. William B. Clore, will be in charge from 11 to 12:30 a.m. and from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Volunteer workers will be in charge during the remaining hours.
