of Mr. Harold O'Keefe Jr. of 173 11th Street, Beth-page.

ing at a pretty rapid rate.
Mr. O'Keefe said that the New
York Conservatives are running
David M. Jacquith of Syracuse for
Governor and Robert Thompson
Pell of Ticonderoga for United
States Senator.
" Both major parties in our State
are now dominated by the liberals
and these elements have saddled
the Republican Party with the lead­ership
of Nelson Rockefeller, the
New Deal's legacy to the G. O. P.
and Jacob Javits, the only " Re­publican"
in the Senate with a
100% A. D. A. voting record. And
now they are purging old- line Dem­ocrats
from the Democratic
Party", according to a letter from
Conservative Party headquarters
signed by Prof. Sylvester Peteo,
William F. Rickenbacker and Kier-en
O'Doherty, members of the Or­ganizing
Committee."

HAROLD O'KEEFE, JR.
The Conservative Party intends
to prove that free men who are
deeply anxious for the future of
their country can stand up and be
counted with decisive effect.
The next meeting is scheduled
for Monday evening, July 30th. with
the time and place to be announced.
O'Keefe stated that this year the
Conservative Party was only going
to run the two candidates against
Rockefeller and Javits and that
diey have no plans as yet for run­ning
anyone officially in the New
York State, Nassau County or i own
of Oyster Bay elections. However,
O'Keefe said that he as an in­dividual,
and as many individuals
in the club were circulating peti­tions
for Edward Werner of North
Massapequa, who has often been
described as a " well- known Long
Island Conservative", to oppose
Assemblyman Edwin J. Fehren-bach
( R) of Bethpage in the pri­maries
on the Republican ticket.
When queried as to the philosophy
on a State- wide level, O'Keefe ex­plained
that most Conservatives
are against State Aid for Educa­tion,
believing in the necessity
of keeping Nassau County money
in Nassau, and that he and others
were opposing Fehrenbach because
of his stand for State Aid as well
as the fact, he said, the boss issue-
Fehrenbach is Carlieno's boy and
this action is also a protest against
Nassau County GOP Leader Joseph
Car lino".
According to the announcement,
Mr. O'Keefe Jr. was elected Chair­man
of the newly formed Club;
John F. Garry of 17 Mlchele Ave­nue,
Farmingdale, Mr. James E.
