Mr.Brush (8 making an act- ive canvass ol the county and makes friends whe rever he goes. He is the right kind of man for a county official and as sheriff he will make a good one. Counsellor Ralph C.

This Is the first and only banner to be rais- ed by either party during the cam- paign. The Republicans never were more confident of electing their entire tick- et than they are this fall. Dr. Carr , chairman of the Republican County Committee , wains the district leadem , however , against over ccnlldcnce and urges that the Republicans get out the party vote. A number of prominent lawyers of Suffolk county have signed a petition endorsing the candidacy of James c. Van Siclen , erne of the Republican candidates for Justice of the Supreme Court. Among the signers are many Democrats who , in addition to signing the petition , have sent letters to the candidate , promising him their sup- port. In the list the following names appear: Joseph T.

There had been a I debt of $3, 500 standing on the new par- sonage for the pas! two years , which the offi cials greatly desired to see can- celed. At a meeting of the official board , the pastor volunteered to see what could be done and in less than two days had secured pledges for $3 , 700. Mr .

Lucas , by the Rev. J . K. Mallmann. The bride was at- tired in white silk poplin and carried a bouquet of white chrysanthemums and carnations. She also wore a j handsome Spanish lace scarf. Slie j was attended by her friend , Missj Frances Case , who was gowned in i li ght green silk pop lin and carried a] bouquet of white chrysanthemums and carnations. Mr. Lucas was attended ky Edwin H. King, of Orient , his groomsman. The home was tastefully ^-corated with beautiful flowers from ^fie Sylvester Manor gardens. During the ceremony the couple stood under an arch of bo> oc.d , isterspersed with while dahlias. After the ceremony the customary congratulations were extended, when all sat down to a bountifu l collation. Mr. and Mrs. Lucas were most generously remem- bered by their friends with beautiful and useful tokens of esteem. The fol- lowing morning they . left for a tour through the New England states , ac- companied to the boat by a company of friends , who showered them with rice and confetti. Mrs. Lucas wore a tail- ored suit of wisteria and a large white . hat. We extend to them our hearty i congratulations . | I Important >' ot!ec to Hie Voters of| Soffol k Ciiitni). Did it ever occur to you , Mr. Voter , ! that a man of recognized ability, who I is so Interested in the welfare of men i as to voluntarily give of hla time , money and influence to save them from the evils of strong drink , would be! Just the l' .ind of man you ought to! send to the Assembly to represent j be opposed to all unjust or oppressive: laws and would work with all his ! might for laws that would be for the | greatest good to the greatest number.

Howland , of East- port , L. !., for Member of Assembl) i for fat nutrlef o..«»il. n„ L OOMMUMCATEO To the edUors of the County Review; Since the new law has become ef- fective \That no game can be sold in the State of New York , \ a measure , said to be for the preservation of game and , lhe extinction of the \ pot hunter , \ or in other words the poor *portflinan who tried to make an hon - est dollar with his gun and at the same time enjoy the privilege of shooting game , since this law went iivto effect the rich sportsman , with his automo- bile, launch and fat bank account is happy in the thought that there wiii be more upland game for his picking and tha' ducks In greater numbers will come to his blind and machine , and that the cost of taking this gaoie has not increased. The law looks as if it was discriminating in nature and against the iioer man and h'8 go*! , and it this is so , *> OH «' the rich sportsman to enjoy all these when his poor brother sportsman Is dented the right of earning a dollar In connection with his sport. It would seem that it is about tisis that the Town Boards In the towns of Suffolk and Nassau count- ies should wake up and demand from these non-resident sportsmen and per- haps from those who are instrumental In making some of these laws for the poor man a license fee that will .put money in their treasuries for game that is taken from their land -and waters , which went fosmerly In the na- tlves pockets. Under existing clrcum- st ancesj lf the poo r sportsman «a n live under the present Maw of \ i» H»le of came , \ he can live >the same if there are no wealthy sportsmen cllowed to come into his town and shoot , kill and take away game , and if the license fee WAS $100 or ev«n 4500 , it would not hurt him in the end , but it would show that there was resentment by that townspeople againtt those who are trying hard to grind the . poor man harder each year. The cry 1» , \for the .preservation >of game , \ but for who is it to be preserved In the end , will it be the rich man and will the poor man be eventually termed \ a poacher , \ and for the crime of taking game which should be rightfully his , be handed a Jail sentence and this a free country since <he days of the Boston tea party. Does anyone imagine that if those who took part In that little fracas should come back now and scan our statute books that they would sing • Columbia Gem of the Ocean , \ or would it be \Back to the Old Country .fori Me. \ One of the saddest lot of Men these days are the local sportsmen who .pin- ned their faith on the repeal of the Brown Duck Law , last spring. It is said they have not forgotten personal letters which seemed to give them courage to break away from party lines and support Mr. Dix , who was going to do so much for them , If elect- ed Governor. While it is laughable , jet to them it lias become serious , be- cause they honestl y believed a vote for the Democratic party last fail would bring back to them the time- honored spring shooting, more so in fact when they found the Democrats had full control in the state. Hopes ran high and nearly all were of the opinion that \that duck law would be repealed\ and while they were watch- ing the efforts of the legislators they lost sight of the Bayne bill prohibiting the sale of game in this state , a Demo- cratic measure, which was easily pass- ed and signed by the Governor, mak- ing it a law , but the Governor did not si gn the spring shooting bill , hence the sadness of the local sportsmen and also their anger at being prohibited from disposing oT any kind of game by the party that was to help them so much if only they would support that party with their votes. ' BATMAN . Good Ground , N. Y. , Oct. 25 , ' 1912. ¦ fOl' .vr V MISSIONARY IXSTITI'TE The seventh annua! convention ol the Suffolk County Missionary Insti- tute was held at Sound Avenue on ¦ Tuesday, and presented an inspiring •series of addresses and conferences aad was a su ^css in cverj way ex- cept that the attendance of delegates fell considerably, short ot wtiat was anticipated. ' Albert E. Legs, secretary of the Missionary Education movement , was unable to be present , but . sent an ex- cellent substitute in the per- son of Rev . C . C. Wood- ruff , pastor of the .Methodist church of Railway, X. .1 ., and a man of large knowled ge of both the principles and fVf''\ - e <\ *h_ ' . \ ^^^l««^^nT\nrv movement. Hif lectures and addresses were great- ly enjoyed by all who heard tlietn. The Rev. W . E. Witter , D . D „ of Bos- ton , New England secretary of the Baptist Board of Missions , akd one of the regular Silver Bay conference speakers conducted some very Inter- esting conferences , but it was at the Tuesday evening service that , he held a large audience spell-bound for over an hour in telling of his experiences as a young man , just married , going out with his bride as missionaries td the Assamese. Few who heard him tell of their first elephant ride through the jungle In the night , will ever for- get the tale. The Rev. C . A. Barwlse , of Green- port .preslded at the meet'ngs !r. a most easy and effective way and greatly added to their success and the ladies I of the Sound Avenue church proved themselves most excellent hostesses j in the hospitality furnished , both at the hall and in their homes. It is probable that the committee on time and place will report in favor of hold- ing the nev» meptfner at Southampton , in October , 1912. The address of the Rev. Frank E. Hlgglns , sky pilot of the Lumber Jacks , Wednesday evening, was a pow- erful, convincing and inspiring pre- sentation of the social conditions and religious needs of the half million men hidden uwav in the great \ wrests of this ' ind. to Its capacity , greeted the words of! the speaker with firqucnt applause . !

I X? Tt If S»w Bil! Passes The Board of Supervisors are going *tc pass a resolution placing th* office of sheriff of this county on strict sal- ary and will cut. out the maintenance for the sheriff and his family. This , it is agraed , will be more satisfactory to all concerned. Heretofore the sher- iff has been allowed a salary of $1758 with $250 for care of county bnlMincs , his civil fees and maintenance for him- self and his family, including fc***i rent. It is conceded \ that this wms as good as from $5 , 000 to $6 , 000 per j»ar , ¦ Supervisor ' Corwin , of Hlvarhaa*, has offered a resolution to place the sheriff , warden , turnkey and cook cm •a salary and ?here is no provision for maintenance , of either the sberit as* his family, or the other officials. The amount of salary was not fixed in the resolution. The matter was referred to the Committee on Supplies to report at the next meeting of the Board. It Is also probable that the sherl* wil l be allowed his civil fees and actual trav- eling expenses , when on business for the county. The members of the Board are , practically agreed except as to what should be allowed the officials in lieu of maintenance. The warden of the Jail now gets $900 per year and board and the turn- key $800 per yeai and board and these salaries will be increased to provide for these officials boarding themselves. Superintendent of the Poor William Hirsch who will retire from office on January 1 next made his last annual report to the Board of Super- visors Monday evening. The report again showed how economically the county institu- tions at. Yap iank for the care of the poor are managed. .Mr. Hirsch has been a very competent and painstaking oiiieial and several members of the Board . congratulated him upon his good record and expressed regret that he was to retire from office . Among the other things the report of Superintendent Hirsch disclosed the fact that Mrs. W. Babst , who has con- ducted the Children ' s Home so suc- cessfully for the last ten years , has tendered uer resignation , the same to take* effect on January 1 , 1912. The position is under the civil service and a competitive examination will prob- ably soon be held by the State Commis- sion to ' ill the vacancy The position pays $8S5 per yew. While the expenses are kept down it is also a fact that no county In the state takes better care of its poor than does Suffolk. The total cost of support at the alms- house , irrl-Hi.: g all expenses was about :?. \ . v.,is per day, or ?2.45 per week. The sale of products at the county farm amounted to $3602.74 , while the total expenditures of the in- stitution aggreT -u ,.ii S?tH165 SO _ and then; is a balance on hand of $1 , 416. 01.

There are 144 inmates at the alms- house chargeable as follows: Hunt- ington 11; Habylon 9; Islip 18; Smith- town 8; Bropkhaven 17; Riverhead 7; Southampton 2!; East Hampton 2; Southold 9; Shelter Island 1; Suffolk county 4i . Superintendent Hirsch concludes his report with a good word for Mr. and .Mrs. Jonathan Haker , the keeper and matron of the almshouse for the efti- ient and economical manner in which the institution is conducted. The report on the childrun ' s home shows that it costs but $4 , 732.29 to run that institution for a whole year . The number of children in that home is 29 and they are well cared for under the management of Mrs . w . Babst. The county tax rate this year will he four and one-half mills . Last yean the rate for county expenses was j three and six-tenth mills. j The Supervisors have passed a reso- lution allowing the three School Su- perintendents in Suffolk county a sal- 1 ary of $500 per year from the county, ! in addition to the $1200 salary allowed 1 by (he stale . The state also allows the School Superintendents $300 per| year for expenses. ' Supervisor Hedges offered a resoln- i lion that the chairman appoint a com-! infttee from the Board to meet with the Bar Association relative to pro- I Tux law and as such committee the } diair appointed Supervisors Hedf;os ! ind Crane.
