EDIRDS WINS III PHONE IIIITE USE
BEGINNING APRIL 15 RATE FOR TELEPHONE MESSAGE TO MIN¬ EOLA TO BE FIVE CENTS— —NEW YORK ^«SE DEFERRED.
The complaint flled by Elvln N. Edwards as attorney for Clarence A. Edwards against the New York Tele¬ phone Company, has been withdrawn by Mr. Edwards by agreement with the telephone company. The com¬ plaint alleged an unfair telephone charge between Freeport and Min¬ eola, and beginning about April Ifi, the telephone rate belween Freeport and Mineola Is to be flve cents less than heretofore to both the subscriber and the puhlic.
Mr. Edwards tried to get the tele¬ phone compauy to make this change a year ago, but at that time it was engaged before the Public Service Conimission in readjusting many of its zone rates, and asked for time to straighten it out without llti'feation. but on its failure to do so, this later complaint wae flled, resulting in this reduction as above stated.
The complaint a.s to the present telephone charges between Freeport and New York City has been with¬ drawn temporarily for the purpose of giving the company an opportunity to readjust its zone rates to the Min¬ eola reduction.
This is the fourth time that Mr. Edwards has compelled one of the public service corporations to reduce its charges to the public. He brought about a reduction of the fare between Freeport and Hempstead on the New York and Long Island Traction Com¬ pany's lines from 10 to 5 cents, and later had the fare from Roosevelt to Garden City reduced from 10 to 5 cents. An action is now pending in the Court of Appeals, brought by Mr. Edwards as attorney for Mrs. Lucy Raynor, for the reduction of the fair from Baldwin to Garden City from 1,' to 10 cents.

ONITED EFFORT I
CAMPAIGN NEARING END—FACTS PRESENTED TO STATE AUTHOR¬ ITIES SHOW REAL DEMAND AND NEED.
The campaign which ha.s been go¬ ing forward for the past few weeks to secure an appropriation for a Long Island Normal School is nearing its rlo.se. Whetlier the efforts which have been made this year are to be successful remains to be seen. There are indications wliich sliow that the legislature is friendly to the move¬ menl. Facts have been presented in such a way as to show the greal in¬ justice which Is being done to a sec¬ tion of the State which bears a heavy part of the burden of la.xation, by niaking it necessary for young men and women to Iravel long dietances to secure reiiuisite professional training to prepare for their chosen employment of leaching.
While the young people wlio de¬ sire this training in other parls of the State are within lesa than one hundred miles of several normal schools, our Long Island boys and girle must travel from one hundred and twenty to two hundred miles to reach .Vew Paltz, the only Stale nor¬ mal school in this part of the State. Thia long trip makes the cost of se¬ curing a normal school diploma ab¬ solutely prohibitive for niany of our best young people.
This condition of things Is pre¬ judicial lo the best educational in¬ terests of the etate, generally, as well as to the prospective teachers now in the Long Island scliools. As Long island demands for ils ecbools teachers with the best professional training, it Is necessary to seek them in the up-state normal schools. This deprives the up-elate public scliools of the services of the professionally trained teachers who are needed there to make tliose schools what they should be. Furthermore, tlie Long Island young people are not available for Long Island schools as would be the case were It poesible to secure a normal training here.
Will not all who read this article aid in this desirable enterprise, by word or montli, by pen or by con- Iributiiig to the necessary expenses of the campaign?

CHRISTIAN SCnSHCE CHURCH.
Contractor Fred S. Howell, of Pree¬ port, commenced work on the new Christian Scientist Sunday school building at Hempstead on Wednes¬ day. The edifice will be 31x10 feet, and wlll face on Franklin street. Mrs. Mary Clark, the flrst reader of the Christian Science Society, at Hemp¬ stead, said the church plans have not yet been decided on.
Witbout causing tbe .--lightest rip¬ ple on tbe surface of things generally, the three political parties held their primary elections Tuesday through¬ out the State. They chose delegates to the national convention and mem¬ bers of the Slate committees.
With a few exceptions the Republi¬ cans and Democrats bad only one ticket in tlie fleld either for dele¬ gates or committeemen, and persons taking the trouble to go to the polls were compelled to vote one way or not at all.
The Hepiiblicans cliose 87 delegates in all, wliiie the Democrais elected ito. Each parly chose four delegates- at-large. All the names were decided on, both for distriit delegates and delegates al large, by the State con¬ ventions, so that the elections were really nothing but latiflcation of what already had been done.
It was Impossible to eetimate the vote in either party. From reporta it appeared that the machine Uepubli- cans attempted at least to carry out their throat to cut down the vote for (iovernor Whitman, who was chosen as a delegate at large, lhe other delegates with him as members of the Big Four are Senator Elon U. Brown. Senator James W. Wadsworth and Frederick C. Tanner The Governor was eager to have his vote as large fte possible—larger than that of any other delegate-and. the organization leaders who are ugainst lilm were eager to cfit it down tn reduce his political prestige.
Georgo Wilbur Doughty of Inwood was elected a delegate to the Natlonsl convention. There was no flght at the Republican primaries and on that account the vote was light.
(ieorge Wilbur Doughty of Inwood and William Flanagan of Riverhead as the delegates and Jeri'niiah Wood of Lynbrook and Henry A. .Murphy of Huniinglon as alternates were chosen without opposition. Doughty, though lined up for Whitman on the State ticket a.< the organization leader, will be a «taiincli Uoosevelt man at the National convention.
Ill Freeport. Ilirani U. Smith, who was opposed for county committee¬ man by John B. Curtright, was elect¬ ed by about 11 votes. This election takes with it the leadership and was hotly contested.
Manhasset saw an interesting fighl between Tax Collector Charles Sne¬ deker and Tax Appraiser'james N. (iehrig. Both were in (he contest for leudereliip and Snedeker won out by eight  votes.
In the Freeport .second district. where Henry L. Maxson tried to wrest theleadershlp from Clarence L^wls, .Maxson was defeated.
Without any trouble or excitement. the two primary contests In Rockvllie Centre were liejd In the Twenty-sec¬ ond and Twenty-fourth districts, among Democrats. Girdell V. Brower, postmaster of the village, retained llis seat as comriiilteunian In the Twenty-second by defeating Matthew M. Wood by S7 to 7,2. William Jeag- er. oiipdnent to the Brower factions, deleated Harry B. Smith, by a ma jority of l.->. This gives tbe Brower forces four out of five election dis¬ tricts  in   Itockville Centre.
