THOMAS R. MARSHALL Next Sunday evening, November 7, Wilmette is to be honored by the presence of the Vice President of the United States of America. On that date the Hon. Thomas R. 'Marshall will be the speaker before the Wilmette Sun- day Evening club. His subject will be "Under Which Au- tocrat?" Vice President Marshall not only is one of our most distinguished Am- erican citizens and the second ex- ecutive of the na- tion, but he has long been one of our foremost stud- ents and observers of the trend of great movements. He is a great speaker, and, entirely apart from the interest which at- taches to him as one of the great men of the country, he should draw a large audience Sunday night. Non .Political In keeping with the policies of the Sunday Evening club, this meeting will not be in any sense political. In fact the date for the meeting was chosen because it would fall after election day. The special music for the occasion will be an organ recital by Mrs. Marie Edwards von Ritter and violin solos by Miss Anna Nyberg. Numerous other events of great interest are scheduled by the man- agement of the club for the near future. Armistice Services On November 14 it is probable "Armistice Day" will be commemor- ated by some important Speaker. It has been definitely arranged that on that evening Arthur Dunham and the entire Glee club of the Chicago Asso- ciation of Commerce, comprising nearly seventy male voices, will give half the program, principally of patriotic and religious numbers. On November 21 the famous Fisk Jubilee Singers will give a program of plantation songs and will picture the development of the southern negroes. Manager C. C. Schultz* Stricken With Typhoid Ask Householders To Co-operate with Village Officials in Absence of Manager C. C. Schultz, energetic village manager of Wilmette is seriously ill with typhoid fever. Following sev- eral days of high temperature phy- sicians early this week diagnosed the ailment as typhoid fever and while the patient's condition is not regard- ed as dangerous it is expected he will not return to his duties at the village offices for at least sixty days. Mr. Schultz has been an untiring worker in the interests of the vil- lage and has won the respect and ad- miration of the residents. He is preeminently a,' business man and as such has established a record of efficiency and has repeatedly merited the official commendation of the Vil- lage President and the Board of Trustees. It has been largely through Mr. Schultz's initiative and atten- tion to duty that the business de- partment of the village has been thoroughly systematized and placed on a generally efficient basis. In the temporary absence of Mr. Schultz householders are requested to co-operate with the departments at the village ball by prompt pay- ment of assessments and other customary village taxes. It is requested, particularly, that householders attend to the prompt and regular removal of ashes and refuse from their homes, by com- municating without delay with the village hall, This co-operation will obviate the necessity of appointing a temporary village manager to serve during Mr. Schultz' illness.

VILLAGE PUTS DAMPER ON "TAG DAY SYSTEM" Solicitation of funds upon the streets and in the public places in Wilmette "by means of the Tag Day system is taboo in the village by virtue of an ordinance passed by the Village Board of Trustees at its last meeting. Promiscuous solicitation of funds at frequent intervals on the streets of the village declared by village of- ficials to have gone the extend of be- coming a nuisance and an imposition upon the good nature of Wilmette residents, was responsible for the regulation enacted this week. Ac- cording to the ordinance solicita*- tions are to be made only upon the receipt of a permit from the Village President and the Board of Trustees. Interests Every Resident The section of the ordinance estab- lishing the new regulation, reading as follows, should command the at- tenion of every resident of Wilmette. "Section I. It shall be unlawful for any person acting for himself or as the officer or agent of any associa- tion, society or institution to solicit or beg for money or other valuable thing upon the streets or public places within the Village of Wil- mette, whether such solicitation be for charitable or other purposes, by the so-called 'Tag System' of collec- tion without a permit from the Pres- ident and Board of Trustees of the Village of Wilmette and only* upon an order of the said President and Beard of Trustees of the said Vil- lage of Wilmette allowing such soli- citation to be conducted on a single day set apart by said order as a so* called 'Tag Day'." It is to be noted that the ordinance establishes a single tag day set apart for the solicitation of funds, indicat- ing that all such solicitations will be in common perhaps on day each year. The penalty upon conviction for violation of the terms of this ordinance is a fine of not less than $5 and not to exceed $100. OPEN WEDNESDAYS By reason of the fact that so-call- ed chain stores in Wilmette failed to comply with a universal agreement among the business houses of the village on the Wednesday afternoon closing, the A. S. Van Deusen grocery and the Wilmette Grocery and Market this week announced dis- continuance of the closing plan in these establishments.

Many Split Ballots Found in NeuATrier Overwhelmingly in Favor of Repub- lican National Ticket but Against the Thompson Group Wilmette and New Trier township Tuesday registered decisive approval of the Republican Presidential ticket along with the greater portion of the entire United States. With complete and official figures unobtainable at this writing, because of the record voting throughout Cook county, it is estimated that practically every voter in the town- ship went to the polls on election day, men and women in about equal numbers. The bulk of the balloting on the north shore was done in the morning and early afternoon; many of the women voted along with Jhe commuters before 10 o'clock in the morning. Against Thompson Men While the local electorate voted almost solidly for the Republican National ticket, there was much splitting of the ballots in favor of the candidacy of Sen. James Hamil- ton Lewis for governor of Illinois, and other democratic anti-Thompson candidates. In certain precincts Sen. Lewis is said to have polled a ma- jority of 10 to -. Democratic candidates for County judge, State's attorney, and trustees for the Chicago Sanitary district are said to have polled a large vote here by virtue of the activity of the In- dependent - Republican committee, headed by John S. Miller, Jr., pres- ident of the Village of Winnetka, and comprising on its roll many names of prominent north shore residents. Large numbers of New Trier res- idents received the election returns at the Byron C. Stolp school in Wil- mlette, New Trier Township High school, Winnetka Community House and the Glencoe Union church. K. of C.
