REPUBUCAN LANDSUDE GREATER THAN ANTICIPATED--HARDING
IMMENSE
The National Result Is
Solid Republican
Throughout
The Republican landslide that car- HardinK and Coolidge to victory is the largest that ^as ever been re¬ corded in the anrtals of politics. The reason* for such a tremendous plural¬ ity are obvious, the country ¦was ¦ weary of Wilsonism and weary of a foreign policy that introduced discord among our allies.
The people -wanted a change and they do not know what the change 'Will be, but a change was to be, as the re- •nit clearly shows.
League Dead
The League of Nations died a death that brooks no reincarnation as the people of the United States 'were loathe to sign up a partnership with a lot of bankrupt partners, and then fight their battles for them.
Harding's plurality may go to 7,- 000,000 and over, fie carried every State in the Union except the "solid South" and seems to have made a dent in that. V All Republicans
¦When Hardmg goes to take office he will be backed by both a Republic¬ an  House and  Senate  by  large  niar-
^f The Cabinet
-¦All eycH are turned toward Hard- Jng now in order to see who he will "put in hi.s cabinet. The names of jKOot, Wood, Taft and others have beer mentioned from time to time as pos- aibilitics.
'Wadsworth's 'Victory The efforts of the women like Eliza¬ beth Collier and Mary Hay to defeat Senator Wadsworth proved a fizzle, for he won by a hand.some plurality. His well known stand against Article Ten in the League of Natfons helped him a good deal.
Harding Wins Own State Harding swept, his o-wn state by a Xood  margin  and   Wilson's   own  dis¬ trict went for Harding by a majority of five to one.
The Senate
There will be forty-one Republicans
In the next Senate.    The victory of
Harding will    render    harmless    the
,'fVlistarbers"  of  Johnson.     The   next
tie 'will be Republican by a good
fority.
Big Flgurea The mighty flame  that  started  in Haine swept the country in a confla- ttion that was  nation-wide.    New State went to Harding 'with a !er  plurality than  any state has given a candidate before.    The I South" was brokeii for the first le and all in all it was 'a glorious el-

Fred Cotter, self-confessed employe of the Treasury Department for sev¬ enteen years, was sentenced to the County Jail Monday morning for five days, rather than pay a flne of five dollars.   The charge was intoxication.
He has been working for M. E. Duane of 42 Willow avenue, for sev¬ eral months and went on a spree. Re¬ turning to the house he tried to get in and Mrs. Duane would not open the door. He became noisy and the po¬ lice were sent for. Cotter gave his age as 58 years and his residence as Jersey City.
BOYS SENT TO RANDALL'S ISLAND
Attempted Assault on Sergt. Yulch Ends Wild Spree of Two Six¬ teen   Year   Old 'Boys
William Baldwin, age 16 of Hemp¬ stead, and Michael Guando, age 16, of Freeport, were arrested in Freeport Sunday evening for intoxication and one of the duo committed attempted assault on Sergt. Adam Yulch while on j the way to the station. |
Both lads were arraigned before Judsre Johnson Monday morning and were sent to the House of Refuge on Randall's Island.
It seems that (Juando had whiskey in hia po.i.session and that the boys drank too much before taking the bus in Hempstead. Arriving in Freeport they became noisy and had to be put off the bus, where they soon fell into the hands of Sergt. Yulch. While at¬ tempting to arrest Guando, Baldwin interfered and was also arrested. On the way to the station he attacked Sergt. Yulch and had to be overcome with a blackjack.
Guando has been in trouble before for bootlegging to soldiers. He was fined $25, but his brother arrived and said that the best thing to do was to send the boy away as the family had no control over him.

STORE THIEVES HAVE BUSY WEEK
Night Prowlers Still Active—Do
Not Get Much Loot—Police
Hot on Trail of Robbers
Several stores were entered -in Free- port during the past week, but the attempts seemed to be the petty pil¬ fering that has been going on in the village for some time, as the visits did not net the thieves much of any loot.
On Thursday night Werner's and the B. and R. markets on Main street were entered and in all places excel¬ lent evidence was left fo^ the finger print expert.
On Saturday night Smith's shoe store was entered and in all three places excellent e'vidence was left for the finger print expert.
The store of Lyman Jones on Main street was entered Election Night and several guns and knives were stolen. This is the second time his store has been robbed this year.
Kessel's and the Bee Hive were al¬ so entered but the police were so hot on the trail oft-'the thieves that they did not '¦get any loot.
The finger prints obtained at Jones' and Smith's were the same.

SPLENDID SHOW SATURDAY NIGHT
Act With 20 Girls a Feature—Jas. C. Morton   & Company and Ben Bernie Top The Big Bill
The bill at the Auditorium Satur¬ day evening was the best that has been seen there since the building opened and presented some preten¬ tious offerings.
Sharing top honors were James C. Morton & Co. and Ben Bernie. The Morton "Company" is all one family, and are well known to Freeport where their act is ever popular. As an¬ nounced Saturday evening, it was the last appearance of the family to¬ gether as 'James was starting out with a show again. We would like to see him in another as good as the "Social Whirl" which ran alt one sum¬ mer in a New York playhouse.
Ben Bernie did things with a violin and clever patter. His act is one of the best in its line that has been seen this season.
Myriads of girls captured the town with "The Mimic World." It was a really pretentious offering consisting of one mere man and twenty girls. Due to the fact that Long Island R. R. baggage checking system is neither daylight saving or labor saving, the trunks of the company were still ca¬ vorting madly around Wading River and Montauk Point when they should have been in Freeport. As a result, the act had to appear "undressed. The talent was all there, but the beau¬ ty was spoiled as the act had numer¬ ous changes of costume.
Majorie Leach, commedienne, had some clever songs and imitations con¬ cluding with an imitation of Williams of Williams &  Woolfus.
Nat Jerome & Co. presented an ex¬ cellent sketch.
Others on the bill were Snyder & Sullivan, singing duo, and The Rus- sells<- acrobats and barrel jumpers.
TO INSTALL HONOR ROLL

The Village Board of Rockville Centre voted last Monday to install a temporary honor roll near the tem¬ porary monument on Observer street.

The Board also adopted a resolu¬ tion of sympathy to send to the fam¬ ily of ChaWes Cozine, who was elec¬ trocuted recently.
TO EXAMINE PRISONERS
Would  Segregate  Infectious  Diseases Among Connty Jail Inmates
The State Commission of Prisons has sent a letter to boards of super¬ visors and sheriffs throughout the state urging that provisions be made for the medical examination of every person admitted to a county jail in order that those with communicable or infectious diseases may be segrre- gfated and properly cared for.
The Prison Law provides that the board of' stipervisors of each county must api^int a physician fOr each county jail, but in most of the jails no examination of prisoners is made at the time of admission unless the attention of the physician is called to the condition of an inmate either by the inmate himself or the jail officials
The Commission in its reports has urged that each prisoner be examined when admitted as a safeguard not On¬ ly to the other inmates of the jail, but to the community as well.

The state situation has its surpris¬ es as well as the national. Among them was the election of Miller as Governor. It was fully believed by the old reliables that he would 'win, but locally a great many were heard to say that they were for Smith again on the state ticket.

Shows That He is Game
The bouts Monday were replete with good boxing and thrills, and com¬ edy that was much appreciated by the numerous fans and generous sprink¬ ling of ladies.
The final bouts between Tony Mar- to and Walter Mohr, .scheduled for ten rounds, went five when Marto was forced to call it a day. Both boys showed  good  science  and  fast work.
The semi-final of eight rounds be¬ tween Joe Delao and Bill Stearns was declared a draw.
In the preliminaries Silent Rigen won from Sam Bums, both of New York and Jack Schaeffer of Brooklyn won from Bill Smith of Brooklyn. Billy Smith was a game rooster with little ring experience but with a whole lot of grit. He furnished fun for ev¬ ery moment he was in the ring.

Disappearing Guests Puxzle State Troopers And Other Gaests War "Hero" Exposed
Guests that kept them guessing at the South Shore Hotel enlivened the week at that famous state police de¬ pot and pleasure resort. Mahager Cruickshank has a large heart and is an ex-service man, and when James McConzille came' to him 'with a tale of how he had felt about the non- passage of a bonus, the manager op¬ ened his heart and nis hotel and gave him the best rooms in the hotjse.
McConzille had his family With him, his 'ivlfe and baby and guests of the hotel saw that th,ey were amply provided for.
All 'Went well until the State Troo¬ pers began to get suspicions and Lt. Brof^field and Sergt. McGarvey ijues- tioned the self-styled war hero. They were about to turn him over to the lo cal police when be excused himself in order to attfnd to the infant.
That was the last iteen of the fam¬ ily. When the manlger of the hotel took an appeti7,ing meal to tho rooms of his goesta he loond that tliey had departed and left no traea.
the up-state farmers.
.Scudder and McWhinnry
The defeat of Scudder and the elec¬ tion of McWhinney nlso surprised many. It was generally conceded that Scudder would "have the backing (f Nassau County to a man and his de- feaftwas something that was not look¬ ed for. It was said th.it tha inoi'.'t- ment of McWhinrey would lose him a great many ¦\>otea, but the general trend towards Republicanism swept swept him along with rhe tide and ¦was probably respoi.-sible for the de¬ feat of Scudder.
Other Favorites Win
Theodore Roosevelt and Congress¬ man Hicks won handsomely, as well as Paul Bailey, editor of the Amity¬ viUe Sun. The five Republican judg¬ es ran ahead of their opponents by pluralities Vanging from 5,000 to 7,000. Scudder was the highest mnn on the Democratic ticket. Small Comfort
With the exception of the Smith vote the DtriMcrats get small comfort with about two out of twenty-three assemblymen, one out of eight Con¬ gressmen, and possibly two out of eight State Senators.
The Smith Vote
Smith rolled up a tremendous vote in New York City, but the up-state vote wa.s too much for him and he was buried in the general interment that was taking place. In Miller's home ward Smith beat him by 242 votes. Jere Wood
The large vote given to Jere Wood was pleasing to Nassau and with a Republican head at the .State and the Nation, backed by Republicans in the Senate, Congress and State Legislat¬ ure, great things are prophesied for the future.
State Bonus
While later returns-may change the result a present survey of the votes indicates a victory for the state bon¬ us. Under the provision each man will get $10afor each month in service, which will be given to all those who lived in the state at the time of enlist¬ ment and who still live here. None except those serving two months will be entitled to it.
No one is entitled to more $250 and relatives of deceased will benefit.
