Township Comumitteemen will be eélected directly. by the voters in each of the major parties., . SIt bas been pointed. out tiat at tic 1935 session ýof the legislature the Priniary La w was radically amended as to the method of selection of com-ý mutteenn. in the so-called country towns of" Cook county. Ilereto fore' the voters in each precinct have elccted their own party coummittee- man. Hereafter but one comMittce- man will be elected from tic entire township, and he will appoint his own captain in ecd precinct. The change cbiiusly facilitates tie build- ing of a political machine tirougiout the township. AIl of this bas been commented upon, but the point neeti- ing special stress is that this change ini method applies <nly -to tie coun- try towns of Cook county. The quaint language of the aniendment makes this particular method o choosing party leaders apply only "in counties containing a - population of W-000 or more, outside of cities containing a population of 200,000 or more" (Par. 9 (b) cf tic Primary Law approved July 6, 1927,,as amen&- ed by act apprýoved July 9, 1935), w iu a fsehich is but a* deviou a o pCi- fyingz solely thecçountry towns Of, Cook county, of whîch New Trier is one of thc largest and most im- portant politically. unsavorypolitical factional and ma- chn ifuences of. the Cityý of Clhi- cago.

McKenzie QUESTIONS MR. SNYDER March 24, 1936, Editor, WILliM Lipz: As a voter having the interests of the Democratic party at heart, and interested in the so-called *"reform"~ candidacy of Ralph M. Snyder, who is opposed by Thomnas J. Lynchi for the important office of, Township Cjormitteemau, I amn impelled to ask Mr. Snyder to answer the foilowing questions: lst. Are you the candidate of the Kelly-Nash organization? 2nd. Are you supporting the cati- didacy of Mr. Bundeson against Governor Horner, at the behest of the Kelly-Nash organization.?. 3rd.
