A VERY IMPORTANT ELECTION
No more important election has been held in this State within the memory of the present generation than the one for menibers of Assem¬ bly to be held next November.
Last fall, by one of the most de¬ cisive majorities ever given, the vot¬ ers of the State decided that they wanted the Kepublican party return¬ ed to control. In addition to the State tiiket, two-thirds of the sena¬ tors elected, two-thirds of the mem¬ bers of Assembly and more than two- thirds of the didegates to the consti¬ tutional convention were Rei)ubll- cans. Tlie Kepul>lican party was com¬ missioned by the voters to restore orderly government in the executive branch of the government, correct ¦ the iHgislative evils and prepare a new constitution.
Everyone familiar wltli affairs at Albany knows that these commis¬ sions have been carried out faith¬ fully. The Legislature of ]91,"> began ita work by abolishing a number of useless and expensive departments whose abolition has been advocated in the Republican platform and bad formed an Issue In the carapaign, re¬ organizing and consolidating others in the Interest of simplicity and ef¬ fectiveness and, flnally made provi¬ sion for lifting the burden of debt that had been left to the coming ad- miinistration by its predecessor. The head of every elective department co¬ operated to stop all unnecessary ex¬ penditures and abolish unless posi¬ tions that had been created to make places for political f avorites—the state engineer alone reduced the force under his control by four hundred employes. The constitutional conven¬ tion undertook the modernization of the State's basic law to meet present needs and to anticipate as far as pos¬ sible the requirements of the next twenty years and for flve months the delegates, comprising many of the foremost men of the State, have lab¬ ored assiduously to produce such an instrument.
To make the new constitution ef¬ fective through the medium of stat'u- tory law wlll be the duty of the Leg¬ islature of 1916, one house of which will be elected next November. The new constitution provides for the en¬ tire reorganization of the State gov¬ ernment. State officers now elected will, under the new constitution, be¬ come appointive and many depart¬ ments now independent will be con¬ solidated With other departments or abolished altogether. The amount of statutory law to be made at the com¬ ing session will be enormous and wiil call for tbe best efforts of the most capable men that can be elected.
If the work of remodeling the State government ie to be completed along tbe lines laid down It is up to the voters of the State to complete the work begun a year ago by keeping the reins of government in the hands.of the Republican party and electing a Republican majority to the Assembly of 1916.
The Nassau Post advocates the erection of a Municipal Building and Auditorium.
It advocates ardently the pnrchase o motor t^ctors for all ftre apparatus. l
It urges the installation of an electric alarm system and the centralizaiion ot fire apparatns.
It advocates the inunediate appropriation of $5,000 to be expended for publicity in securing the establishment of manufacturing industries for Freeport.
not any indication of a change of heart, It Is simply Tammany's bet that the memories of the people will be short enough to let it back into power.
FREE FBOV SCANDAL.
A year ago, voicing public senti¬ ment, the platform adopted by the Republican party In convention as¬ sembled made thjp statement: "We also Indict the Democratic party at the bar of public opinion for gross abuses in administration antTlegisla¬ tion at Albany during the four yeare of Its control. There has been scan- Jal in the executive departemnt; scindal in the Legislature; scandal in the prison department; contracts have been let without competition; useless offlces have been created; the civil service shamelessly debauched; public places bartered for personal and political service, and the admin¬ istration has been characterized by a general demoralization, waste and corruption."
Mr. Joseph Prendergast was the guest of his brother, Mr. Frank S. Prendergast, over the holidays.

SAFEGUARD YOUR BIGHTS.
With the POuntry facing increased federal taxes as a result of the shlnk- age of revenue and continued extrava¬ gance at Washington, it behooves every voter to think carefully before casting his ballot In November. The heritage of debt left by four years of Democratic administration in this State hae been cleared off by the pres¬ ent administration.. To do this has necessitated the levying of practically two years' taxes in one year but re¬ trenchment has begun and from now on the burden will be lightened un¬ less Tammany is again entrusted with the combination of the State's strong box.
APPROVE WHITMAN'S STAND.
The past year has been one of great progress in public health work. The local work Is now organized, and is done in dose co-operation with the State Department of Health. Every health offlcer and board of health now feels that the work is on a flrm, scientiflc basis. Governor Whitman has tarken a flrm stand for efficiency In the Department of Health regard¬ less of politics, and his views are unanimously approved by all the health offlcers and boards of health of Long^ Island.
The adoption of the new constitu¬ tion is only the initial step in the re¬ organization of the State government. The constitution provides for an en¬ tirely new system of government but it will remain for the Legislature of I91G to enact the necessary laws to make that system operative.

At our huge money-raising meeting [
in Carnegie Hall last November sums
ranging from |1.00 lo $1,000 were
pledged by suffragists whose names
were called out and recorded in open meeting, in the presence of represen-1
tatives of all the newspapers. The same was true of our money-raising luncheon of 1,.J00 people last' May and of the money raised at our Long Island county conventions in June, i There are lens of thousands of suf-! frage women who care so much about their cause that they make endless' sacrifices for it and are giving every penny they can spare. The Long Island suffrage campaign Is being^ supported entirely by such women, j How many anti-suffrage women are there on Long Island? |
Who is "making this appeal lo Long Island men to "Stand by the Women?" Is it Long Island women, and if so, how many of them?
These are surely fair questions, and questions that the public is en¬ titled to have answered. They are points that Miss Chittenden Ignores. In the Long Island countiea of Nassau and Suffolk the suffragists are organized in 86 towns and vil¬ lages, with a membership of over ,j,000 women. As far as my knowl¬ edge goes, only three of these towns have any pretense ot an anti-organ¬ ization. If the money used in the campaign against woman suffrage on Long Island comes from the pockets of these few women, each one must be putting up very large sums.
The 5,000 organized suffrage women say to Long Island men, "Stand by the Women. Give every home two votes, a man's vote and a woman's vote. Double the power of the home and the influence of ail that the home stands for. Vote yes, No¬ vember 2, on woman suffrage and enlist the help of your women in im¬ proving Long Island."
