REPUBLICANS WILL HOLD AS¬ SEMBLY BY SAME MAJORITY AS LAST YEAR^REPUBLICAN MAYORS ELECTED UP-STATE.
Republican organizations in cities and counties throughout the State made a clean sweep Tuesday. Win¬ ning the strongholds they lost in the progressive upheaval of two and three years ago, they held their own In other cities and counties. The Re¬ publican leaders found cause for great rejoicing In the strengthening of their lines. The entire Republican ticket sweep Albany city and county. Rochester, Utica, Poughkeepsie, Sy¬ racuse and Ithaca elected Republican mayors.
The next State Assembly wlll be composed of ninety-eight Republicans and flfty-two Democrats, while the progressives- were wiped out entirely. Thomas A. McWhinney was returned from Nassau County and D. C. Tal¬ mage and H. A. Murphy from Suffolk €ounty. The Republicans will hold the Assembly by practically the same vote- as last year.
The steadily climbing majorities against the -revised Constitution are the main features of the belated re¬ turns of Tuesday's election. The probable adverse majority is esti¬ mated at 375,000. New York City overwhelmed it and the up-state sec¬ tions deluged it with opposition.
Strong hostility to "Votes for "Women" became apparent early Tues¬ day evening. The latest returns show that is was beaten, however, by less than 90,000 votes in New York City, and 200,000 in the State.
Justice Stephen Cailaghan, repub¬ lican and progreseive nominee for Justice of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial District, defeated j. J. Fitzgerald, democratic nominee, by «,966 votes. This district comprises the counties of Kings, Queens, Nas¬ aau, Suffolk and Richmond.

(By Special Correspondent) John Lyon, who for some time past has been counsel for the Oceanside School District, I resigned that po¬ sition recently when he was quested to prosecute in court Joseph Billla of Oceanside.
Clarence Southard, truant oflicer of Oceanside, recently discovered that Michael Billla, a boy between 14 and 16 years of age, was working for Blumenthal, a Rockville Centre butcher, when, according to Mr. Southard, he should have been at¬ tending school.
The case was placed in Mr. Lyon & hands. After studying the niatter thoroughly, he advised the school board not to prosecute the matter, as they did not have a cabe. However, the board, it is said. Insisted that an example be made of the boy's father and without Mr. Lyon's knowledge employed Elvin N. Edwards, the well known Freeport lawyer, to handle the case. When Mr. Lyon heard of this he took up the boy's defense. Tue case was brought before Justice Nor¬ ton of Bellmore, instead of Justice Neu of Lynbrook. Mr. Lyon moved tbat the case be dismissed as the factb submitted did not prove a crime had beyn committed. Justice Norton granted the request. Tbe case was dismissed and the boy was privileged to return once more to work if he so desired.
Miss L. Schreiner of Woodside was the week-end guest of Mrt. J. Schreiner.

Later each guest was taken to the kitchen and beheaded. My, how that axe made you shudder. This meant
the unmasking as each one came in sheet and pillow cases. Dancing and SOUK followed with refreshments, of the hallowe'en assortment, until the hour of 12, when a huge clock, ar- I ranged for the occasion, suspended in the middle of the room, opened and showered the guests with favors. All returned to their homes happy.

HIS NEW STORES ON GRAND AVENUE ARE NEARING COM¬ PLETION.
.The new stores of Samuel Self on Grand avenuo are nearly compleed and will be ready for occupancy about Nov. 1. These stores wlll make a fine appearance and wlll be a credit to the vlllage, as well as to the owner. There will bc a five-room flat over each store with all Improvements, water and gas. They can be rented reasonably, and wlll ])artlally fill the needs of this growing community.
Mr. Self reports that there is a de¬ mand for storea of all descriptions and there is no reason why Bellmore peo¬ ple should not have stores in the vir- lage, instead of being obliged to go to other twons to do their trading, thus saving carfare and time.
Bellmore and Smithville South now have a population of 2,000 people, as per latest census.
Mr. Self is one of the leading pro¬ gressive men of the village, and has done mucl) to improve the place. He settled here with his family about thirty-flve years ago, and has for the laat 20 years conducted a successful real estate business, making many large sales for development, etc. He was associated with Mr. William G. Miller of Freei>ort in the apprasial of property and Is considered a good authority on real estate values.
Mr. Self Is retiring and Is willing to give the other fellow a cbance. He
I more if all good citizens will lend a hand.
