MCWHDNNEY IS OUR CANDIDATE SAYS DOUGHTY Republican Leader I Declares Coun- ty Committee Members® Have FREEPORT ALUMNI TO HOLD BANQUET AND BIG REUNION Long Inactivity Due to War Broken-Good Speakers To Be Heard on June 22 Freeport, June 8. -After several years of inactivity due to wartime conditions, the Freeport High School Alumni Asso ciation held its annual meeting last ev ening at the Grove Street School. El ection of officers to serve during the No Fight With Senator Calder or Anyone Else-Merely Want Recognition For Home Man- Friendly With Livingston Also Mincola, June 8.-Republicans of Nas- sau County have no fight with Senator William M. Calder and the Republican County Committee of Nassau County has not entered into any plans for the overthrow - of the Senator from .the southern tier of the State of New York. This statement is made by Supervisor G. Wilbur Doughty, one of the leaders if not the leader, of the Republicans in this Nassau It has been stated that Jacob A. Liv ingston, of Kings County, Republican leader there, is continuing | his | fight against Senator Calder in the hope that he can accomplish the Senator's politi- cal finish, Whether or not this is true is not the concern of the Republicans in other places, they hold, and If Mr. Livingston sees fit to have a little home battle the others look on it much as if it was a domestic squabble in which any outside person might easily be pummel- led if the man and wife combined. It is a well known fact that Senator Calder was a close friend of President Harding when they sat near each other in the Senate and it ia also well known that the President considers himself ob ligated by that friendship to Senator Calder. Those who claim to know say that Mr. Livingston, if he is fighting Senator Calder, is biting off a large mouthful. There are some jobs to be distributed by the President and Senator Calder, having access to him, will probably fare well in that distribution and so will any- one whom he wants. This brings the .altuation down to where Nassau County fits. Republicans of this county are asking that Assem- biyman Thomas A. McWhinney be ap- pointed Collector of Internal Revenue Yor this district, which overlaps into Kings County. Supervisor Doughty says that the Re publican County Committee is backing Mr, McWhinney for the place. It is also known that he has the backing sof the Republican State Committee as well as that of Republicans in the adjoining counties. ‘, ''We have no fight with-anyone,\ says Mr. Doughty. \We have only a candi- date in Mr. McWhinney and we are go- ing to be for him to the end. Our can Weldman, who owns a line running from Lynbrook to the Rocknways. 'It was referred to Justice Ralaig to inves: tigate and report.

These additions will allow n once far greater sick population to be cared for.
