A village record recounts efforts to form a cross group harmony plan after the 1931 election. The plan aims to submit public policy questions to voters and require village officers to follow the majority will. A Creative Committee from ten civic groups selects convention members to present nonpartisan candidates for the upcoming election.
Randolph W. McCandlish argues the Harmony Plan offers a nonpartisan solution to Wilmette’s political muddle while critics in the Village Party push party competition. He warns against “huddle” campaigns and urges civic service through a Harmony Convention led by a Creative committee of twenty. The Editor notes include a letter to Wilmette American Legion Post 46 seeking guidance on ex service man hiring preferences for the proposed water works loan project.
