[Erna&#8217;s birthday was April 25th.]<br \/>\nLeonard with speeches, also on radio, and I with hats, are keeping both of us very busy.  I Try to go with him when I can.  <\/p>\n<p>Last Friday Rose LaMarque and I saw \u201cThe Great Waltz.\u201d Wonderful.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Preview Clip | The Great Waltz | Warner Archive\" width=\"645\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8rDDBnwp1HI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>4\/26\/36<br \/>\nAlthough Leonard was not elected as a judge, he is still much better off than the other Republican candidate who spent $25,000 and lost too with only \u00bd as many votes as Leonard, who did not spend 1\u00a2. I am glad it is all over but it was very interesting for me and I learned a lot.  <\/p>\n<p>Papa\u2019s letter had been opened by the Germans, by the foreign exchange department.  <\/p>\n<p>I Have not moved to the Seneca Hotel with Mrs La Marque yet, but will tell you the advantages I will have:<br \/>\n1.\tThe landlord will not misplace  my mail<br \/>\n2.\tAll phone calls and visitors will be told me as soon as I come home<br \/>\n3.\tHome right after work (in the building)<br \/>\n4.\tNot so much alone<br \/>\n5.\tFor the same money much bigger room<br \/>\n6.\tTelephone in the room<br \/>\n7.\tPrivate bathroom<br \/>\n8.\tMuch better neighborhood<br \/>\n9.\t1st class hotel service<br \/>\n10.\tRestaurant and grocery store in building<br \/>\n11.\tCloser to the beach in summer<br \/>\n12.\tRadio<br \/>\n13.\tSewing machine<br \/>\nEtc., etc.<\/p>\n<p>Went to Klemm and Addie Eggner\u2019s wedding last Sunday.  Although Leonard was not in the mood for it since his 85 year old Father had died 3 days before in Sumter, he went with me anyhow.  He could not go to the funeral since it was the next day and it would have taken 2 days to get there.<\/p>\n<p>I saw  best movie ever, \u201cMr. Deeds Goes to Town\u201d: serious story; excellent performances.<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/youtu.be\/GLzWGnBqumk<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><em>I have been unable to find any information about the judicial elections in Chicago in 1936. It would appear that there must have been some kind of open primary or Trudel may have combined the primary with the general election in her mind, which would explain how LJG could lose to &#8220;his opponent&#8221; and his opponent could also lose. <\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trudel continued to abstract her letters into brief notes so I have consolidated March and April 1936 into one post.
