A recently .enacted state election law provides that Village officiais elected in Wilmette at the regular Village election on April 17, shall serve for a term'of, one year. only. The result is- that, beginning wt 1935, the terms of the president and six trustees will expire simultaneous- ly, instead'of 'alternately, as hereto- fore. At.. the« coming election a Village clerk, Village treasurer and tbree trustees are to be elected. Some time ago tihe present incumbents signified their intention of runrnn for .reelection on an. administration ticket. The Harmony conVention, which was organized a year or more ago for the purpose oéf eliminating partisan politics from Village affairs, has been preparing to nothinate a ticket. It is now intimated that, ow- ing to the new one-year term, there is apossibility that there may be no contest this year, the presenit n- cumbents to accept nomination'on tbe Harmiony ticket instead ýof an adi- miniistration ticket. While this arrangement cannot be sadto have been definitely settaed upon, there is a strong probability that that is the way the matter will. shape up. The Harmony convention, if the plan is finally adopted, will pu+ in nomination the following in- cumbents:. For Village clerk, Nicholas P. Mil- ler. For Vilage treasurer, Harry W Miller. For Village trustees, one year tenu, Harry C. Kinne, Joseph Heinzen and S., N. Tideman., For Iibrary tIrustees. Mms Rollo0 Gullickson, Mrs. R. E.attison Kline.
