BOND ISSUE DEFEATED IN WEST HAMMOND
Miss Virginia Brooks, the Joan of Arc of "West Hamond, won another victory yesterday when she succeeded in defeating the proposed bond issue which President John Hessler of the village board and his gang of political highbinders sought to have put over. The people of West Hammond did not propose to pay the freight to build an electric power lino for the sole purpose) of a private corporation and they voted 115 for to 310 against the bond issue. The total vote was 437 which is considered to be rather a light vote. The election was carried on quietly and tbere were no dlsturabnces of any kind. The principal figure in the election was Miss Virginia Brooks who hired rigs and spent the entire day in getting out the vote. 'I don't think we missed & person." said Mia Brooks. "We went over the entire village and the result speaks for itself. I am more than , satisfied with the returns and the way the "gang" has been turned down Indicates what the result would be in a city election." Republicans Gala. One ot the principal features of the election in West Hammond is the fact that although the village is normally
