VILLAGE ELECTION
HELD APRIL q.
Warm Fight for the Treasurership
Between Joseph Goyke, Present
Incumbent, and J. P. Brehm, Keeps
Up Interest in Coming Village
Fray.

This is a time of the year when
every week sees an election of some
sort in West Hammond.
The program as laid down for April
is as follows:
On Tuesday. April I, county, town
ship and city election; on the following
Saturday April IL election of trustees
for the school. township No. SO to
be held April 1S, election Of trus-
tees for the school district of West
Hammond, on April 81. election Of viii
age trustees, village clerk and village
treasurer. The last one is by far the
most important and interesting as far
as the entire village of West Hammond
is concerned.
With practically no issue in the cam
paign for the village election, except
ing the personality of the candidates
and their ability TO get votes. the cam
paign whtcR Is now nearing it's close
is not lacking in interest. Two parties
are in the field with their candidates.
the Peoples party and the Citizens
party.
Almost everybody in West Ham
mond is democrat and cons equently
there is no use of putting a republi-
can and democratic ticket in the field
The problem is solved by putting the
peoples and citizens ticket in the
field.
Unless there is a turn Of affairs un-
looked for, and unwarranted, Martin
Finneran on the peoples ticket, will
be elected on that ticket for village
clerk with overwhelming majority. He
has an able opponent in Fred Siegrist
on the citizens ticket, but Martin is
the most popular man in the village,
and there is no stopping him
That Martin is somewhat of a poll
tician can be figured out along the line
of his connection with the peoples
ticket. The latter slate has its strong
est supporters in the south end of the
village where the Germans and Poles
hold swak. His name on that ticket
| assured him of the support of the
south end. Being an American by
birth and living on the north side of
the village among the English speak
ing class he has an enormous prestige
there.
Trustee John Rohwedder. who has
served seven years on the board. and
whose name is now on the citizens
ticket, looks like another sure winner
Mr.. Rohwedder has made a nice rec
ord for himself in the seven years that
| he has served. He Is known to stand
for the best interests Of the village
and is assured not only of his own
partys support but also of much on
the south side of the village. In addi-
tion to having been trustee in the
village, he has served several years as
trustee on the West Hammond board
| of education and is a member of the
board now.
| The closest fight will be along the
| line Of the treasurership for the WILL
| age where Joseph Goyke, the present
incumbent, is opposing ]. ]. Brehm,
who is supported by the citizens
| tocket.
