For three years he served the Second Assem bly District of Suffolk County In the Austmbly and his record for Independence in voting and his support of Legislation for the benefit of the people of Long Island Is a tribute to his character and his knowledge of the needs of Long Island. He has served upon some of the m o st important com m ittees of the As sem b ly and while In office was recog nized as one of its m ost valuable mem bers and was frequently consulted on m atters of important legislation af fecting the State. His Republicanism Is unquestioned. If elected he will bring to the Senate a ripeness of thought and experience which win mean m u c h to the voters of this coun ty and to the State at large.

Broad M inded, Business M an W eed for Popular G o v ernm e n t w a s A rdent BALDWIN TO ERECT =» BA :5 If Elected He Declares He Will Represent All, Squarely Honestly and Impartially— Will Conserve Interests of All Franklin O. Hill le the People’s , Candidate for Assembly. He Stands For Legislation Benefiting Volunteer Firemen The Conservation of the Fishing Industry, Especially Along the South Shore State Aid to the Government in the South Shore Waterways And County Supervision for the Construction and Maintaining of Public Highways money In New York and spends it In the community In which he resides. Therefore, inasmuch as the Volunteer Firemen have done ao much through their efforts In an indirect way to building up N a ssau County, It Is only just and rig -* that their efforts should be rewarded. In reference to the fishermen or baymen’s interest, Mr. Hill stated that the fishing Industry on the South Shore of Long Island is a much great er proposition than the average citi zen realizes. Few men appreciate the amount of money invested in equip ment, such as boats, nets, etc., and Mr. Hill is strong for any legislation which will protect th is industry. z Republican Candidate FOR ASSEMBLY Seldom in the history of N a s s a u 1 County has there been a candidate j w h o comes up for public olfice for the first time, whose prospects for elec-1 lion are as bright as those of F r a n k - 1 lin G. Hill of M errick, candidate for M em b er of A ssem b ly on the Dem o cra tic and Progressive tickets. F o r while Mr. Hill has never held public offlee, he has taken an active in terest I in public affairs, and is well and fa v - , ably known throughout the County. 1 Mr. Hill is the type of man which should appeal not only to the voters j of his own political faith, but every ' m a n in the County, who is really in-1 terested in the w e lfare of the County, ; in e s p e c tiv e of party affiliations. He : is a clean cut, keen, broad-minded 1 business m an; and is well fitted t o ; represent the people of the F ir s t As | sem b ly D istrict of Nassi-ti County in I the State L e g is lature, and the voters G reat South Shore W a ter W ays, and can feel absolutely confident of being believe that th e S tate should do all in honestly and fairly represented, if th e ir power to a s s ist the G o v e rnm e n t A d v o cate of L.

McWhinney for Nassau County Regular Progressive and Democratic Candidate for STATE SENATOR m of Garden City they send him to Albany. Mr. Hill has no political debts to pay, nor fulfillm ent of certain pledges m a d e in letu r n for o th e r political fav o rs; has m ade no prom ises to political leaders, political p a rties or party fac tions. He is not to be bought, sold or traded, and is absolutely in depen den t in every sense of the word. This nom ination was not handed to him as any rew a rd for serving any politi cal bosses, or financial interests w h a t soever in the past. He is spending his own hard earned m oney in the cam p aign, and one only has to know and talk w ith Mr. H ill to know that he is absolutely honest, fearless, square and up-right in his dealings, and above all conscientious of any respon sibility which he m a y assum e ; and w h ile as before stated , he has not pledged him self or m a d e any prom ises w h a tsoever, nevertheless he is en thusiastic over such m a tters of legis lation as will effect V o lunteer Fire m en, not only In his own D istrict, but throughout the S ta te ; the conseva- tlon o-f the fishing industry whih is in getting this m a tter through. This would certainly m ean a big th in g to the people of Long Island. Regarding S tate Roads in N a ssau County, Mr. Hill thinks that th is is a m a tter which should come under the supervision of C o u n ty Officials. T h e re is no question but th a t the people of N a ssau County know how, when and w h e re work should be done on the highw ays of N a s s a u County, and feels th a t the County has been sadly neg lected on the S tate Road proposition. On account of his affiliations w ith fratern a l and social organizations, Mr. Hill is especially well known along the South Shore of the Island. He is Exalted Ruler of Freeport Lodge No. 1253, B. P. O. E., m e m b e r of M assa- pequa Lodge No. 822, F. & . M., F r e e port Club, and South Shore Y a c h t Club. He is also a Spanish W ar V e te ran, and a m e m b e r of Old Guard Cam p No. 19, II. S. W, V. He claim s th a t if successful in this election, his sole am b ition will be to represent all of the people of N a ssau County, rrespective of political faith such a big industry, especially on the | o r party affiliations, and will he glad South Side of Long Island; State aid ! to receive suggestions at any tim e to the Governm ent in the South Shore ; for the betterm e n t of the D istrict. However, he is a m an who will un doubtedly do his own thinking, and whilq. he will be glad to receive sug W a ter W ays; and C o u n ty supervision for the construction and m a intaining of Public Highways. Mr. Hill thoroughly believes and | g e stions pertaining to different m at- says th a t he will w o rk unceasingly for j ters, he will m a k e it his business to a bill which will place V o lunteer Fire-1 inquire into the m o tives of the people m e n on an equal footing w ith Spanish A m erican W ar V e terans in holding Civil Service positions. He dwells on the fact th a t the very efficient Fire D e p a rtm e n ts in the different villages throughout N a ssau County has been largely responsible for so m a n y city oeople coming to Long Island, build ing homes and residing there. He says th a t one of the first inougni* th a t comes to a m a n when he goes to the country, is the question of fire nrotectlon, and especially so if he offering the suggestions, and if he feels th a t certain legislation is really for the benefit of the people thro u g h out the D istrict, and not to satisfy the selfish desires of a few men who have political axes to grind, or gold bricks to sell to the taxpayers, he will get back of it w ith every ounce of energy he can summon, and he says th a t this election puts it squarely up to the 1 v o ters of N a ssau County as to ! w h e ther they w a n t a real live, honest i a n d conscientious business m an to Progressive-Democratic Sena torial Candidate Made En viable Record in Lower Branch of Legislature— Was Author of Several Important Measure—Ple dges Himself to Work for Proposed Canal. The improvement of the water ways Is of great Importance to the people of Nassau and Suffolk Coun ties. LeRoy J. Weed, the Democratic and Progressive candidate for the Senate, Is pledged to work for the im provement of the waterways on the j south shore of Long Island. The best guaranty of a candidate’s | future political faith is to judge his j past record. LeRoy J.

The hearing resu lted in the report being referred again to Col. R o e s s ler for re-in vestigation, and m a k e s the canal once m o re a possibility. 4.

A CATHOUC CHURCH ------ .1 Catholic Residents of Baldwin Have Formed Society and are Working Earnestly to Raise Funds for the Erec tion of a Separate Church. If the plans which are under way now are carried out, the Village of Baldwin will have a Catholic (Jhurcn within a year. The question has been agitated for som e tim e among the Ca tholics of t h a t village, of which there are many. For a year past M ass has been said at th e Fire H all and later at S o u thard’s H all by one of the priests of the C h u rch of O u r Holy Redeem e r of Freeport.

This building they will have to vacate as the law does- not perm it these m eetings th e re on account of the lower door being used : for a garage. 1 It has been considered by Hie Ca- | tholies of Baldwin that with the largo num b e r of i>eople of that denom ina- i tion residing th e re now and the ma- I jdrlty of new com e rs are of that faith, | th a t Baldwin could support a ch u rch !
