MeWhinney, Champion or ihe People—Honest and Fearless
Will Fight for Honest Insurance Rites—Recognition of Span¬ ish and Civil War Veterans. He is a Man Who Gets Re-
sulU.
Thomas A. MeWhinney, candidate for member of Assembly from Nassau County on the Republican ticket has inaugurated an active campaign, characteristic In Its forceful, direct and intelligent appeal to the voters, Irrespective of party lines or political afflliatlono.
Mr. MeWhinney Is a man who gets
ance rates in Nassau C'ounty, based on tbe character of flre protection and the efllciency of tbe various local flre companies. He contends that undei the present system of fixing rates, tlie taxpayer, the rent payer and the po¬ licy holder received no reduction in rates, even though the Improvements in the equipment and the cfiBclency of the volunteer fire company very ma¬ terially reduced the percentage of loss to the insurance company, in many cases as mucb as 75 per cent. He contended further that the present system of rating, whereby a person living over flve hundred feet distance from a flre hydrant, or in a small vil¬ lage having no hydrants, but having an efflcient volunteer flre company, is considered by the Insurance company.

results, and Nassau County i^^-eOs a man of his calibre at Albany. For years he has been one of the most ac¬ tive supporters of the volunteer fire¬ men's association of this county and state. He was chairman of the com¬ mittee which organized the Nassau County Volunteer Firemen's Associa¬ tion and was elected its first presi¬ dent. At the present time Mr. Me¬ Whinney is leading the movement tt» secure a re-adjustment of the insur-
a.s having no flre protection, is ab¬ solutely unjust.
Mr. MeWhinney will undoubtedly le seftt to the Assembly by the tax¬ payers of Nassau County, so that he may make thla flght for an honest in¬ surance rate, and for the same re¬ cognition of veteran flremen as is ac- coiatii veterans of the Civil and Span¬ ish-American wars in matters of ap¬ pointment to and retention in the public service.
Don't fail to vote for constitutional delegates. The present charter pre¬ vents New York City from having a majority of the legislature. A Repub¬ lican convention means the relention of that law.
A retur ot the Hughes type of administration is assured with Whit¬ man for Governor. A vote for Whit¬ man and his colleagues means much for the state of New York. Think it over.
Frederick C. Hicks, the Republican, candidate for Congress in the Long I Island District, has always been Jn-1 terested in everything pertaining to i the success and advancement of the community and he has taken an active part In public affairs. He Has made a study of governmental and econo¬ mical affairs in^ this country and abroad and is tlioroughly conversant with needs and requirements of the District), ,
The criticism of our government Is that there Is a lack of practical men in the legislative halls with result that the laws are frequently enacted without the proper consideration ot their effect. Kfflciency and sound business principles are as necessary in the administration of government as they are in private enterprise. Mr. Hicks is a .su(<essful business man connected with a number of Long Isl¬ and business institutions p.nd, if elect¬ ed, he will bring to the office a wide experience and matuie Judgment.
The election of Frederick C Hicks \vlll mean that Long Island will have a capaTD!* and efficient representative. His views on the question of the day as expressed In a recent speech are typical of his cliaracter. He said,"l am an earnest advocate of Peace. The "trict neutrality of the Cnilfnl States in the European War should be main¬ tained. This is not a political ques¬ tion. It Is a patriotic duty. Presi¬ dent Wilson should be .supported ana sustained in his efforts to prevent our government from being emliroiled in war. 1 am a strong believer in the development of our inland waterways, (heap and easy transportation means better markets for oui- producers and lower costs to the consumers. The present depression apparent in every field of activity which was in evidence long before the outbreak of hostilities in Europe is the direct result of a lack of confidence in the Democratic party due to tariff changes and the ill advised attacks upon business. The policy that sends our money abroad to enrich foreigners, that builds up Industries across the seas by depress¬ ing our own, that drives American business to the wall is a policy that leads to disaster. Stagnation, failures
I'he freateit criticism of the govetn-
mcat p tiwt^ the law making bodiea lack practiciP men who are not ooi^ veniant sufficiently with actual busl- nSW life t^ |-ecommend remedies for e:dftting e^mli >,¦ In the person of MA Hieks the voters will have secured a man who has nad an active business career and who will devote his entire time to the needs of tbe district and the duties of the office.
He Is a strong advocate of the the¬ ory that tbe government is not merely a political organization but that rat¬ her It is a gigantic business organiza¬ tion requiring business methods with its management in the bands of busi¬ ness m*n, ad that as in private life the supreme test of the government is efficiency.
His platform la typical of his char¬ acter and he'bases his support of the voters of the district on this platform "Efficiency in Government, the appli¬ cation of business principles to gov¬ ernmental matters with clean and honest business methods and clean and honest political methods."
Prosperity will return when condi¬ tions are changed. The election of Frederick (". Hicks, a native of Long Island, will materially aid in bring¬ ing about this change in conditions. The voters of the First Congressional District owe a duty to themselves to vote for the electon of Frederick C. Hicks, a man who will work for the improvement of conditions.

The sur¬ plus has been wiped out and new taxes are to be levied to nuke up the de¬ ficit. This additional aurden will ef¬ fect directly the resid<nt of Long Isl¬ and. Thousands of An.ericans are out of employment. The residents of Long Island.are numbered among the thousands who have been thus effect, ed.
At the next session of Congress many very Impoitant questions will be decided which will require the con¬ sideration of a practical man of af¬ fairs, one who has had an executive experience in be active business world.
After Mr. Hicks secured his edu¬ cation at Swa-thmore College and Harvard Univer.sity, he was for a long time engiged in the banking business and a: the present time is a director in nuny Long Island insti¬ tutions.^ and as a result of his ex¬ perience he will be eminently quali¬ fied to represait the people of the First Congressii)nal District.
In addition t« his business training Mr. Hicks has ,iiade a study of econo¬ mic questions snd his special training along those Hies will enal)Ie hm to pass upon legislation affecting the district which he seeks to represent in Congress fiom the stand point of a specialist.

"I was an old worn out carpet. I was of no use to any one. But I took courage and began my search for the Fountain of Youth. I set forth for Freeport, Long Island, and there I found the object of my long search.
I had supposed that my colors were entirely lost but I found they were simply obscured. In the process of rejuvenating they were restored in all their former beauty and brilliancy, reappearing in rich. Oriental effects that were charming. How was it done?..
First they put me into a cleaning machine wheie all dirt and tacks were removed (before 1 could^recelve my next treatment). They next ran me thrcsngh a power machine where I was cut into strips. In the next machine I was raveled and frayed. To be made new, it was essential that I be ra¬ veled and frayed, twisted and made into chenille. This twisting was done on a machine, unique in construction, and of entirely original conception.
At last I was ready for the weave room, and there 1 was gratified to see thfit I was to b« woven by the old fashioned hand loom. Here the opera¬ tor took me piece by piece and, with loving care, combined the pieces lo produce the most harmonious effects possible. After being trimrded and fringed I was again put into the cleaning wheel where the laet vestlpe of dust was removed. Then on to the clipping bench where I was trimmed down to an even surface. Then to tha tumiljler for a final polish and I was young again, ready and willing to give twenty years more of good service back in the home I had learned to love.
Hoping that you will profit by my experience as I have lold It, 1 am your (to be down trodden) servant.
