Seldom In the history of Na-ssau County has there been a candidate who comes up for public ofllce for the first time, whose prospects for elec¬ tion are as bright as those of Frank¬ lin G.

Mr. Hill thoroughly believes and pays that he will work unceasingly for a bill which will place Volunteer Fire-
to receive suggestions at any time for the betterment of tiie District. However, he is a man who will un¬ doubtedly do his own thinking, and whil». he will be glad to receive sug¬ gestions pertaining to different mat¬ ters, he will make It his business to inquire into the motives of the people

Progressive-Democratic Sena¬ torial Candidate Made Eln- viable Record in Lower Branch of Legislature- Was Author of Several Important Measure—Ple¬ dges Himself to Work for Proposed Canal.
The Improvement of the water¬ ways is of great importance to the people of Nassau and Suffolk Coun¬ ties. LeRoy J. Weed, the Democratic and Progreaaive candidate for the Senate, is pledged to work for the im¬ provement of the waterways on the south shone of Long Island.
The best guaranty of a candidate's future political faith is to Judge his past record. LeRoy J. Weed's action as a member of the assembly in work¬ ing for this great necessity Is an as-
LeRoy J. Weed deserves to be elected to the STATE SfiNATb, because of his record as a Member of Assembly from Nassau Coun¬ ty, because—
1. He has worked incessently for the Interests of Nassau County.
2. He Introduced and succeeded In pasaing the Naasan Connty Charter BUI. The purpose of tbis law is to enable a commission ap¬ pointed by the board of supervisors to study governmental conditions with a view to a real scientific form of county government, with th^ idea of reconciling inconsistencies now existing in dfferent depart¬ ments of county government.
3. HE has worked Incessantly for the improvements of the South Side waterways. Representing the State of .New York, he appeared before the Board of Army Engineers at Washington al the hearing to determine the facts of the proposed South Side Canal. The hearing resulted In the report being referred again to Coi. Roessler for re-in¬ vestigation, and makes the canal oace more a possibility.
4. He introduced into the Assembly the bill which allows the Board of Supervisors to expend live thousand dollars yearly for the dredging of our south side channels and latterals.
.5. He has co-operated with the t)oard of supervisors in enabling them to procure necessary legislation enabling them to equip and maintain county roads and bridges,
t). He has been ever watchful for the interests of the volunteer firemen. He voted for the bill providing for the pen.sion for the vol¬ unteer fireman injured in the perf;)rmance of his duty. He voted to retain the office of State Fire Marshal.
7. He has been easily approacliable to even the humblest of his constituents and every request has received promptest attention.
His pledge as STATE SENATOR lies in his performance as Mem¬ ber of Assembly.
surance that he will continue to use every effort to eecnre an improve¬ ment of the south shore.
Tbe improved waterways mean cheaper transit facilities with the saving for the producer on his ship¬
ping bills and necessarily cheaper prices for the consumer. Mr. Weed is
I pledged to secure the beneflt for the pr9ducer and consumer of Nassau and Suffolk Counties.
Although very active last year In securing the passage of Important legislation, Mr, Weed took an active
I part in the campaign for the improve¬ ment of Long Island waterways. As a representative of the State of New York he appeared before the board of army engineers in Washington for the consideration of the proposed Long Island waterways system. This hear¬ ing resulted in having the entire mat¬ ter referred to Colonel Roessler for further consideration.
Mr. Weed is of the opinion that the state and federal governments should unite and cooperate on the improve-
. ment of the south shore. If he is ; elected he will work to liave this i brought about. His past record as an assembiyman is proof of his sincerity. -Not only on the improvement of the , waterways is he seeking election. He is pledged to a direct and genuine lirimary so that people of Nassau anu Suffolk counties may share In the government, l^ong before the pri¬ mary bill was passed last year he was , active in securing a direct primary for the people.
I Mr. Weed has always been arrayed I on the side of popular government and j he is a strong worker for good goyern- l.ment as the representative of the peo- j pie of Nassau and Suffolk Counties In the Senate the people can feel as- ! sured that he will work for the benefit I of the community.

BALDWIN TO Ma A CATHOLIC CHURCH
Catholic Residents of Baldwin Have Formed Society and are Working Earnestly to Raise Funds for the Erec¬ tion of a Separate Church.
I If the plans which are under way j now are carried out, the Village of Udldwin will have a Catholic Churcn within a year.

As far as can bo learned tho men were all badly cut and bruised.

The whole store Is highly sugges¬ tive of cleanliness, promptness, and clieerful service.
