Progressiye Items
The Progressives held a rousing din¬ ner at Floral Park on Saturday even¬ ing last. There were present the can¬ didates, the Town Committee and many citizens. Speeches were made by" Wil¬ liam Ridge, of Lynbrook; former As¬ semblyman George L. Weeks, of Sea¬ ford; Elvin N. Edwards, of Freeport, and Progressive candidates. The key¬ note of all the speeches was that the Progressives would win by a handsome plurality on April 1.
The candidate for Supervisor, Aug¬ ustus D. Kelsey, is improving rapidly and will possibly be able to give a few days to the campaign next week. His friends are making up for his absence in the campaign by their hard work in his behalf.
A prominent citizen, who does not wish hrs name used, said the other day that when the people of the Town learned that Mr. Kelsey was one of the strong opponents to the sale of Long Beach and that he had very decided ideas as to what action should be taken against Beach to compel them to carry out their contract with the people of the Town as to building the canal and completing the Public Park, there would be a.landslide...toiy.ard him as he was the only candidate whose party machine has not been involved in bringing about the sale of Long Beach. Mr. Kelsey, will if elected, immediate¬ ly bring action against the Estates of Long Beach and compel them to carry out their contract with the Town, he having been advised already by his counsel that the Town has a remedy against Long Beach, notwithstanding the opinion of the Republican County Chairman to the Town Board, who holds that the Town practically has no remedy. |
Harry Keith was absolutely sole dic¬ tator in the Democratic Convention at Lynbroook on Saturday last. He rode rough shod over McCord and his many friends. He showed to them who was boss, and he cost the Democratic Party a thousand votes in this Town because the rank and file of Democracy want to be rid of bosses and boss-made tickets as well as the rank and file of the other parties.

The Republican candidate for Super¬ visor is making a hustling but hope¬ less campaign, but it is well known that the Republican leaders them¬ selves do not expect to win. All they hope to do is to create enough enthu¬ siasm to beat the I^ogressives. But they are very nervous. '
Does not one think that the great silent vote which electa Supervisors, is going to go to the machine nomi¬ nees of the Republican or Democratic Party ! Not much! Augustus D. Kel¬ sey and the Progressive Ticket will get that great and valuable vote.
A farmer was asked what the Re¬ publicans had done for him and his answer waa quite to the point, "Just increased my talfes."
When the voter who owns a little home, realizes the Republican Party have made it a rule to assess his home at a higher„rate than his neighbor, is ia going to put in office a new set of officials and it is not going to be Dem¬ ocrats appointed by Harry Keith.
