The:controlling issue. is "which of the three .candidatesý is bèât qualified to represient New Trier Township,?". To decide intelligently, it is, neces- sary,'to know what,-the,,duties of this office are. Some of the duties i ti- elude: (a) Appointmnent of a Democ,.ratic precinct comitteemian .antid. party workers lu egch of the thirty-onei precincts of the township.. (b) Selection of ninety -. three judges and elerks of electioni (c) Arrangement for thirty-one polling places for primaries atîd elections. (d) Making the party canvvass. (e) Supervising the- getieral ac- tivities of the party in the town- ship.. (f) The Democratic Township Committeeman is also a member of the Demiocratic Cook Countv Cen- tee is the iegally uesigiiiit con- *trolling organization of the party. 0f the three candidates for. this office, one bas lived in the township such a short time as to make it prac- ticially impossible' for hini to know an0d appreciate the needs'and desires o f the commnunity. My-.other oppon- ent may be considered as a profes- sional politician. He is now on the state payroll. that the former leader had1 either re- fused or failedto do this work. Sixteen of the regularly« elected precinct committeemen tîolùnteered to, help. Eight elected. committeemen had died, moved ou.i. of the precinct or become disqualified. 0f the. other sev en, one, is supporting, Mr.'Nolan and six are wýorking for, Mr. Lynch. Ihave askedworkers to help ,in these fifteen precincts, and the work of the Democraticparty bag been 'performed .in.ec of the thirty-. on e precincts.ý 1I do not coàceive it to be the duty of a candidate for Township Coin- tnitteemn t b efwer every mnendo or rumor of the opposition. If lie did so, the contest would degenerate into an alley fight. I appreciate, of course, that the residents of New Trier town- ship adhbering to the principles of the Democratic party are anxious that noý machine politics be injected into the township. 1 amn heartily in accord with that sentiment, and my public record shows that I have always sus- tained that attitude. I bave no con- ing the necessary work of the party under its legally constituted agency, the Cook County Central committee. My primary interest lu the Goverix- orship primaries ia in having a Demo- cratic candidate who can Win in November and wlio wiIl help the Na- tonal ticket. My only iuterest in the matter of Towuship Committeernan is. that the man be selected whQ can do most to malce the Dernocratic.
