Dr. Longenecker had gone to the hospital to do some work fnr some of the physicians and inmates of the asy¬ lum. Before he had completed his work he stnted that he was feeling ill and went into an apartment and lay down. A short time afterward one of the physicians entered the room and discovered that he was dead. Coroner W. B. Savage was notified and an in¬ quest held.

Don't make any Mthcr date for Wed¬ nesday, .March I, if you are interested in local government, that will ii.ttr- fere with alteniling the annual primary olthe People's Party to be held on tiiat dale, as announced in the local jiapers \ this week. This is usually the only primary held in the village and the oflieers selected there should be named by the majority vote of all the voters of the village. Come out an.l liave your say.
.'Xs to candidates for public ollice it is a good theory that when a man has an ollice in which there is no financial compensation and does his best as such ofiicer. if he will consent to serve an¬ other term it is best to re-elect him. This especially ajiplies in the adminis¬ tration of the alfairs of our village with its Irir^e water and electric light plants. When good ollicials are se¬ cured but few changes should be made, as in a private business venture. These remarks would not necessarily apply to the otiice of collector and treasurer, both of which are good pay¬ ing oflices, and require but little "breaking in." The present holders of these otlices will have plenty of op¬ position. They have made good in (heir (daces but the candidates so far named in opposition are also men wor¬ thy ar.d well qualified, and a close con- tost will resuil. As one man said the other day: "When they are all my good friends'I guess I will have to loss a coin to decide which one to vote for."
Archer B. Wallace has announced himself as a candidate for the odice of Police Justice at the coming village el¬ ection. Justice Swezey informs us -that he will not accept nomination for this oflice for another term, but there will probably be several candidates.
The annual election of oflieers of tho Fire Department occurs early in .'Xnril and will probably mean an interesiing time as usual for ihe members of the F'ire Department. It was supposed that F'irst Assistant FJngineer Cornell and Second Assistant .lames R. Smith would be advanced, but Chief Van Ripei slates he has not yet decided whether he will ne a candidate for the office he now holds, for another year.
Later 1 hear (.'ornell is out for the otiice ofChief; this makes the pros¬ pects of an interesting contest good, unless Chief Van Kiper ilecides not to run again.
I write these locwl tof.ics as the things of interest come i;i; since I wrote the item about the Police Jus¬ tice nominees Albin N. Johnson is be- inK mentioned for the oflice. I will surely do all in my power for his elec¬ tion if he will take it. He is a law¬ yer, well qualified for any position, and while he has taken an active part in everj'thing connected witn public affairs in F'reeport as far back as I can remember, he has not before been a andidate for public office.
It seems the local Jr. O. L'. A. M. Council will have to preseni another flag to the Grove Street School. I think there has not heen a flag on it for the past two months, even on I..in- coln's Birthday. I am under the im¬ pression that the State law provides moreover that the flag shall be floated from the school building whenever the- school is in session.
-   And   again after writing tbis  about Johnson for Police   Justice I bear tbat Elvin   N.   Edwards   is   a   candidate. \ Sketches  of   both   {.re  printed in tbis i iaaue.
The following item regarding the contest for Police Justice is sent in by a friend of .Mr. Edwards, and isacMrd- iiigly publisht :
.-\t tile vilui^e primary to be bell on March U. HU 1.'considerable excite¬ ment IS expected. Archer li. Wallace. Elvin N. Edwards and .¦Mbin N. John¬ son have each announced Ilu ir candi¬ dacy for the iiosilion of Police .lustiee of the Village of F'reeport. Juilge Svvezey has aniiounced that ne will not be a candidate-for ,e-election.
.¦\rcher Wallace is ,iin e.\-l obce ,iu.-- tice as well as an e.\-Juslice of the Peace. .Mr. Johnson is a weli known lawyer, having his ollice on Brooklyn avenue, tbis village. Mr. F^dwards is a member of the law lirm of FMwards & Levy and has been artively engaged in the practice of law in this village for a number of yr ars. He has resid¬ ed near F'reeport from boyhood, was educated here and is proud of it. It was through tbe acli\i' work of .Mr. F.'dwavds that the caifaie from Hemp¬ stead to F'reeport was reduced from ten conts to live cents.
.Mr. Edwards is a public spirited citizen and one iiitere-sted in all meas¬ ures calculated to improve this village, and his friends promise lh.it if elected he will adiniiiisler the duties of his ollice fearlessly. honestly and elli- ciently.

T'bi' many friends of Counselor .Mbin N. .lolitison are working hard to secure his notniiiatioii and cloclion as Pidice Justice of the Village of Freeport. He has grown up wilh the locality and been closely identified with the politi¬ cal and civic activities whii'h have made Freeport the best known village on Long Island. He helped his friend, Sidney H. Swezey, in his election to this oflice, and now that the Judge has announced that he will not accept a re- nomination, the peoplo are anxious to have him succeeded by a lawyer who will come up to the high standard set bv the nresent holder.
Last year Mr. Johnson was honored wilh the election as one of its School Trustees of the Freeport High School from which he had Kfi'duated in 1X9;',. T'he trial of cases before him would be expedited as he is a trained stenogra¬ pher, being a graduate of the Com¬ merce Denarlmenl of Pratt Institute. The Now York University Law .School gave him the degree of Bachelor of Laws in IsDs, and laler he received the degree of Master of Laws frnrn Bmok¬ lyn Law School of St. Lawrence Uni¬ versity. He is Seen lary-T'reasurer and a Trustee of F'reeport Public Lib¬ rary.
Counselor Johnson is well known in fraternal circles, as a member of Mor¬ ton Lodge, No. t;:?, F' ti A. M., char¬ ter member of F'reeport (."ha|)ter. No. .•J02, R. A. M., a past grand of Free¬ tiort Lodge, No. GOO. I. O. O. F., a charter member, past regent and Col- , lector of F'raternal Council, No. 1902 of Royal Arcanum, member of F'ree¬ port .Mutual Benevolent Association and of Long Island Fraternal Associa¬ tion; and a past archon and member of Heptosoph ('onclave. He belongs to the Freejiort Club, Nassau County Bar Association and Phi Delta Phi Club of Brooklyn. He gives much time to church, charitable and other affairs for the promotion of the welfare of the Community.
His friends believe that his integ¬ rity, ability and genial <|ualities and wide experience in the practice of law would make him just the man for thc place. He is the senior partner of the law hrm of Johnson & Johnson, having offices at 2X Brooklyn Avenue, Free- port, his brother, Flilbert R. Johnson, being the junior member.
