There was a general conversation during which Mayor Nilsen expressed his regret that the League did not hold it's usual Candidates Meeting in 1960. He feels this is a real service to the community in that it gives the public and the candi- dates a chance to meet each other and discuss the pertinent issues, P~Irs. Ernst expressed her regret that they hadn't had one but said it was the feeling of most of their board that there had been so many political meetings due to the Primary and Final Elections that they doubted a League Candidates' Meeting before the Village Election would be attended by very many people. She would, however, make a motion that they have a Candidates' Meeting before the next Village Election. Mrs. Weigel brought out the fact that while the League Members retain their identity as individual voters, they do not, as a group, back arty candidate. They support issues. Members of the Board are not permitted to work for any particular candidate
