V. C. Widower Wins Bride Met Doing War Work. A marriage tinted with romance occurred in St. Ignatius Church, Brooklyn, Tuesd the bride being Miss Saydie McManus of 619 Nos- trand Avenue, and the groom, Irv- ing Howell Thompson, of Rockville Centre, formerly of Lynbrook, where he was engaged in the plumb. Ing business, Misa McManus was formerly a buyer for a large Brooklyn depart- ment store, 'and uring the war engaged in number of benefit pro- Krams. . Thompson ed 4 similar work, and “fixyza 't: advantage, the Democrats have suc. pad bated Manus . were | ceeded in eloct'ag some candids tes F tet to- the to office, but their tenure has gen- erally been brief. Th fall, §t i% generally conceded, (tha Demoren's have named a weak tleket, . It is In presenting its lis: ofc: s stead township this fuil, the Koprb lMcan party has adhered strictly to its long standing policy of select. ing its best available material, En- dorsement of all present office hold- ers with two exceptions, one declin- Ing renomination and the other be- ing eliminated as the result of a contest, demonstrates that the party representatives in convention sidered that the office holders were worthy of re-election by the people. The Republcan rary in the township has enjoyed a long and honorable career as the result of giving the people clean, efficient and progressive administrations The party administration has been as. safled viclously and without war- rant at times by boltors from its ranks, by (ts Democratic opponents, soreheads of various political fefchs and others. Despite these ntincks the voters stood by the party when the attacks were most vehement and returned {t to conduct the town gov- ernment by increased majorities, At rare intervals through some techni- cal move token to give a Inte hour of candidate for 0 the n ni con- acq .a. bethrothal was an- pened, a al . lost by death his first wite, Grace Golder git 111.2001, nearly > years ago.. She no ch e has an living with mm? Maple avenue, Rock- currently reported that the irty s live n feally no hope tis any of their town candidates will be elected. The party named only one candidate for supervisor, taking a position that the law which permitted Hempstead to have two supervising officials was [legal. The move emanated, it has been said, as a result of the Democrats being unable to enlist two candidates for supervisor, The question was din- rosed of in the Supreme Court this week by Justice Leander B. Faber deciding that the law enacted was clearly logal and that the names of both supervisors, Hiram R. Smith d G. Wilbur Doughty, re entitled to go on the election ballots. With Messrs, Smith and Doughty na standard bearers, heading the town ticket, there are predictions, ever from conservative sources, that every Republican candidate will be elected by unusually heavy ties. As the Observer-Post set forth a few weeks ago, the town govern. ment has been systematic. effclent and progressive in character, No supervisor in New York state keeps c better or more concise system of accounts than Hiram R. Smith. Any citizen can step into the Town Hall at Hempstead at pleasure and ascer. tai In a few momonts the receipts and expenditures of any fund. Be- sides this information, it is possible tor anyone to ascert«in the amount of any bill rendered and its audited TICKET RENTER ENJOINED Dominick Ferrara, a Freeport bar- aghan in the discontinue that Arg AND NAS Assn allowance. The supervisor also pre- sents through newspapers a monthly account of town moneys received and expended, so that citizens may know of the summarized transac- tions. In addition to the systematic measures adopted by the supervisor in administering his office, Town Clerk Gilbert, the board of auditors, assessors, tax receiver and various other departments of the town gov- ernment have kept pace with the times and adopted measures where- by facilities have been greatly im- proved and the public convenience enhanced. When the administration moves into the commodious new Town Hall, soon to be dedicated, the pub- le will be nccorded convgniences of far greater scope than If is pos- sible to grant at present in the small building, soon to be abandon« éd, 'The departments will be more distinctly separated and more con- veniently located, with larger areas for transacting business. In connection with the adminis- tration of the town government, Su- pervisor Smith has given the tax- payers an inspiring messago for the coming year by announcing a re- duction of five points in taxes, The supervisor has served the township since 1913, His first term demonstrated his capabilities and fair, square dealing, to 'a . dogres which made him on exceedingly popular candidate for re-election.

Y., Friday, October 10, 1919. | Republican Gandidates of Hempstead Township for Election November 4 Concerning him, the South Side Ob- server of April 12, 1915, said: \The true and unalterable index to the efficient and advantageous admi{njatration of a community or township is in the useful. well di- rected and economic expenditures of funds for worthy and necessary improvements and expenses result- ant in benefits to inhabitants, ad. ministrations and transients. 'The town of Hempstead, during the past two years, under direction of Su- pervisor Hiram R. Smith, has ex- perienced a most economic and effi- clent administration.\ The supervisor was re-clected that year by a plurality of nearly 3000 votes. He is not opposed for re-election this: fall, © Supervisor Doughty, his running mate on the ticket this year, took office in 1918, following enactment of the law which permitted Hemp- stead to have an extra official. He was tinopposed by the Democrats. The supervisor is recognized as a lender in the councils of the Re. publican party, and has accomplish- ed much for its good and welfare. Residing in the western section of the township, where various mat- ters require close attention, Super. visor Doughty has been enabled by his. famiMarity with the various communities and business experience to give their affairs consideration which has proved satisfactory to his constituents and won for him much commendation, b@ !! 12. 13 14 by the Democrats -of _ H township\ to have declared vo law which provides for the Hon . two supervisors, Timothy Shea 0 Ocean Side, an employe in the Inter» . nal revenue collector's' office, - with: Town Committee Cha Cotte, this week brought an action . vtainst the hassau County, C A missioners of Elections and Town .
