President Orner Leads Way in Heaviest Village Ballot Ever Polled in Wilmette Earl E. Orner's stewardship of Wilmette's muncipal household was accorded a remarkable expression of approval at the polls Tuesday of this week, when, in the most bitterly fought Village election witnessed in more than a d'e cade, the People's party ticket swept the entire community like a great tidal wave, completely engulfing the candidates of the Home party. President Orner led the way by polling a vote of 3,092 as against 1,558 for Andrew ]. Mouat, Home party candidate for Village president. A total of nearly 4,700 votes was cast, according to the unofficial returns, representing the heaviest ballot ever polled in the village. The maximum vote of the community wa~ said to be about 5,000. People's party candidates for trusteeships were not far behind· their leader when the final vote was cast, indicating that splitting of tickets was the exception rather than the rule. Trustee Paul A. · Hoffman, whose candidacy the Home party refused to endorse at the memorable caucus of February 23 1927-thereby provoking the · establi~hment of the People's party-received an endorsement as convincing as that of his colleagues. ' Postmaster Warns · "Jltl oving" Residents to GiveN ew Address Postmaster Joseph E. Shantz issues a warning this week to Wilmette residents leaving the villal!e who would like to have their mail follow them to their new home. Mr. Shantz says: "At this time of the year many persons arc moving to othe.r localities and in order that there will be no delay in the forwarding of their mail I desire to call their attention to the importance of notifying the post office of their change of address. "Do not fail to obtain a card from the letter carrie.r or at the post office. 1f you are a subscriber to newspapers or magazines, notify the publishers of the change of address. Mail matter of other than that of the first class cannot be fonvarded without stamps affixed. "In filling out the change of address card be sure to include the ·names of all members of the family. The husband of an addressee will be presumed her agent when she has not directrrl her mail to be withheld from his control. If a card is to be signed by some other person other than the husband, a written order of authorization must be filed with the card."
