Farmingdale Republican
Leader Frank Hynes said that he
was very pleased with the sup­port
and success of the Far-m

organization. He said that it was
a very good and active com­mittee,
who brought in sub­stantial
majorities.
According to some political
pundits the conservative in­fluence
on the Republican vote
brought out by this election has
many future implications and
may mean the end of progressive
Republicanism.
