' Trend Some As 1920
! He soys ot Freeport
Club Instollotion
A G. O. P. landslide such as that
which swept Warren O. Harding
Into the (PresRtency in 1920 was
[predicted for 1944 by District At-torney
Edward J. Neary, who in-
Btalled the officers of the Freeport
Republican Club at the monthly
•meeting In Spartan Temple Thurs-day
night. He declared that no
tnatter who the Republican can-didate
is, he will be elected.
Mr. Near? said history was re-
•peating Itself. He said that *n
1916, for tne nrst time In the his-tory
of the United States, a Dem-oefat.
Wbodrov WUaon, was elect-ed
.(p succeed himself. The next
year resentment against the* party
began to show itaelf when he was
"Slcctc** to "th?- Aasembly- from^the
13th A. p., In Queens, a district
that never before nor since* had
eent a Republican to the lower
house in Albany, he said.
In 1940, Mr. Neary continued,
another precedent was broken
when Franklin D. Roosevelt was
elected to office for the third suc-cessive
term. Again, he said, the
next year the tide began to turn,
and In the 1942 election the Dem-ocratic
majority in Congress wa$
nearly wiped out. He asserted
that this trend would continue,
and In the 1944 national election
a "Republican President and Con-gresB
will be swept Into office.
This, he said, would occur de-spite
the bureaucracy created In
<jgafp«ed ^Jxeep the
ipaYty jn powder. Ke
that fn Nassau county,
the Republican organiza-tion
is very strong, the rule of
Leader J. Russel Sprague and his
associates. Is. "They serve the
Tparty best who serve the people of
the country best."
• "He urged the selection ''of an
outstanding candidate for the
presidency and said that Mr.
Sprsgue, because of the proml-nence
he had gained in the party.
would have a large say in deter-mining
who the choice would be

Meanwhile, the political pot

it will be a real contest. For two
