Universal Demand for the _ Nomination of Wm. S. Hall
JIIOST ORATIFYINQ TO TAXPAY¬ ERS TO KNOW THAT DURING WHOLE AOMINIftTRATiON IN¬ TEREST RETURN WAS HIOHER THAN THAT OF ANY PREDE¬ CESSOR.
Town goTemment la a trust, town •officials are trustees. Both are cre- -aled for tbe benefit of the people. Tbe scope and extent of the benefit, how¬ ever, is in almodh-direct proportion to the energy, th^honesty, the'.eff- cieucy of the trunMls. This ia'tlore applicable to the oflce ot Town Treas¬ urer tban, perhaps, any other. It is a keen source of satisfaction at this primary time to know tbat tbere is - certainly one candidate for tbls offlc* of the calibre which insures a 100 per cent return to the people—Wil¬ liam 8. Hall, of Freeport.
The Town Treasurer bas under bis control very nearly three quarters of a million dollars of the town money. The Town of Hempstead bas mort¬ gages amounting approximately to $600,000. It is the duty of the Town Treasuner to see that this property Is appraised, and to protect the Town from excessive loans; to collect the ^nlerest on its mortgages; to see that the buildings on property mortgaged to the Town ane kept in good condl- l on, and properly insured; In short, to protect the Town from loss and manage the Town property with as much care as though It were his own.
In our experience we have never met with such a universal demand for the nomination of a candidate for ofl[lce as we have Mr. Hall's nomina¬ tion for this particular office. He haa served the Town of Hempstead, as its Treasurer, for many years; he has managed Us vast sums of money to the entire satisfaction of every resi¬ dent of the Town.
In all the years Mr. Hall held the office few. If any. words of criticism were heard. One has only to look at his record to know In what man¬ ner the affalra of the office will be conducted In the future if Mr. Hall K elected.
It is a gratifying fact to learn that during Mr. Hall's, administration of the Town Treasurer's office, that the intereat return upon the monies un¬ der his control waa higher than that of any of his predecessors.
When Mr. Hall first took the offlct, some 18 years ago, he found the ac-
• counts and records of hla predecessoi, Fredertck Bessler,. In very bad shape. Tbe method of keeping book ac- cuunta were very crude aad not at all in keeping with tbe vast amount involved or the business transacted.
Largely through the ability ot Ms. Hall as an accountant and his experi¬ ence as a financier be was enabled to inrroduce a, more modern and satis¬ factory method and system. One of the highest compliments that Mi. Hail could possibly receive is the fact tbat bis successors in office have continued to use the same system wblch he Introduced.
Prior to the assumption of the du¬ ties of Town Treasurer by Mr. HaU, It was tbe custom of borrowers to pay their interest whenever it best suited their convenience. Mr. Hail at oqoe Impressed upon them the necessity of adopting the same btisl-l ness-like manner and methods in dealing with the Town as they were obliged to observe when dealing vritb private individuals or organliation^il engaged in the loaning of money
GEORGE D. surra STRONG CANDIDATE
HIS CANDIDACY FOR NOMINA¬ TION FOR OFFICE OF OVER¬ SEER OF THE POOR IS BEING FAVORAB1.Y CONSIDEAEO THROUGHOUT THE TOWN.
Oeorge D. Smith of Freeport is con sidercd one of tbe strongest candi¬ dates seeking nomination at tbe Re¬ publican primaries on Saturday. Bom and brougl^t up and educated in tbls Tillage he early became more or less of a conspicuous figure In Re¬ publican ranks. He has been a most consistent co-worker, always fighting staunchly for tbe highest principles of the party. He was a most able servant under the Hon. W. O. Miller wben the latte'r waa at Albany and later as an assistant In the District Attorney's office at Mineola. He has served two one-year terms as Over¬ seer of the Poor for the Town to which office he again seeks election and for which be solicits your sup¬ port.

passing upon loans for the Town. He never loaned the funds of the Town at less than the prevailing rates, which at that time varied from 5 per cent to 6 per cent, according to the market for money. Town of Hemp¬ stead applicants for loans were al¬ ways given the preference. If there were foreign applications for the same sum, and the funds were always invested in the Town of Hempstead when there was a possibility and a demand for them from the residents of the Town of Hempstead. His chief aim was to keep the Town funds In¬ vested and at their highest earning capacity at all times.
Mr. Hall's name stands as a tower of strength in financial aa well as other matters, by Individuals and cor¬ porations seeking advice for their guidance. It occurs to ua that the Town of Hempstead is particular^ favored in having a public spirited citizen of this type willing to permit the submission of his name to the voters.
In our judgment. If the people of the Town of Hempstead are awake to their own interests, they will turn out en-masse and speak In no uncer- Uiin terms ot their choice of Mr. Hall ;is their candidate on tlie Republican licket for the office of Town Treas¬ urer.
that the greatest amount of good may be done for the greatest number. The office may have a director of sound training, of wide experience, of a liberal mind. In short of the quali¬ ties only which will be productive of efficiency and service. No better director could be found than Mr. Smith. He is well quallfled lo till the office.
Mr. Smith openly and in a straight¬ forward manner asks and solicits the support of the enrolled voters at the primaries. He asks that you give him an opportunity to put the office on the sound basis that it ought to be on; to stimulate and create a new spirit of self-reliance among the un¬ fortunates; in short, to give benefi¬ cial service. The ofllce needs a new lease of life. George D. Smith has been tried and found efficient.

The nomination of Charles Gardnei Miller of Hempatead on the Republi¬ can ticket for the office of Town Auditor Is more or less taken for granted in the eastern and middle sections of the Town. He has been making a canvass which Is bound to count for him on Saturday. Where- ever he has gone In the Town he has received unquallfled pledges of sup¬ port from voters of every class and creed.
Mr. Miller has been interested In politics and has been a public ser¬ vant in many capacities for many years. The Village of Hempstead nev¬ er had a more competent president
There is very little doubt of the re- nomination of George H. Hurrell of Floral Park al the primaries on Sat¬ urday for the office of Overseer of the Poor of the Town. He has served the taxpayers of the electorate most etriciently for the last three years, [lutting the work of the office on a tirm ^lasis. He has systematized the work and has got it down to a sci¬ ence. His method of keeping records are unique and of considerable aia to him. He has labored earnestly both for the interests of the Town and the welfare of the unfortunates.
Mr. Hurrell has been a public ser¬ vant for the past ten years; serving four consecutive terms as Constable and one term as Overseer of the Poor. He has a reputation for hon¬ esty, integrity, and faithfulness un¬ questioned. Ever a Republican, he has worked Industriously for the suc¬ cess of the party and is esteemed as a genuine leader of real worth. His acquaintanceship in the Town ant County is extensive. He has served as a County and Town Committee¬ man to the satisfaction of the leaders of the party.
Mr. Hurrell has left no stone un¬ turned in his canvass and everywhere friends and fellow citizens have signi¬ fied their intention of supporting him. There is very little question of his nomination. He asks your support and vote on Saturday. Can he have them?
THOROUGHLY QUALIFIED FOR THE OFFICE. A VOTE FOR HIM WILL BE ONE FOR THE CONTIN¬ UANCE OF GOOD ROAD BUILD¬ INQ.
If tbe taxpayers of tbe Town of Hempstead want efficient road serv¬ ice dring the next two years there is one man seeking nomination at tbe Republican primaries who is thor¬ oughly quallfled to giro It—tbat man is Wilbur F. Southard, of WanUgh. He bas a thorough and intimate knowledge of every branch of road construction which is of prime im¬ portance to voters and citizens. He has a reputation of long standing, it has stood tbe test of time and critics.
Although Mr. Southard has an of¬ fice in Seaford, where be Is engaged In business, lie bas lived in Wantagh all bis life. He bas been a staunch Republican and has loyally supported the party. He has a well grounded Impression of strict honesty and square dealing. He Is a thorough stu dent of every undertaking.
Mt. Soutlxard has worked on tbe roads of the Town and County, espe¬ cially In the first district, which com¬ prises territory In the €ai*ern section of the Town. The service has ex¬ tended over a period of from ten to| twelve years; he knows how to take care of and construct roads. His ser¬ vices under the administration of Waller Raynor as Town Superlnten- <lent of Highways was most notable. He has had charge of the conatrm ticn and maintenance of the County toads In the first district under the present administration of Hiram R. Smith. Mr. Southard had charge of -imilar work under Smith Cox.
Few men know better, that good road building requires accuracy, skill, snd a conscientious application to duty. When Interviewed by a repre¬ sentative of the i>aper, be said: "I am mindful of the economic interests of tbe people. Tbe office permits ot the expenditure of fully 150,000 a year, and I am deeply aenslble of tbe responsibility which must be shoul¬ dered in order to give the taxi>ayerB the greatest amount of good trom tbe money spent. If I have an opportuni¬ ty to serve tbe people, I shall be mind¬ ful that tbe greatest good be done for the greatest number."
Mr. Southard is distinctly a self- made man. He enjoys a confidence of the people which Is productive of the greatest amount of efficiency. Al¬ though he is as staunch as a rock, he Is broad minded and charitable. More than anything else he Is a business man. He bas been district committee¬ man since Smith Cox's second term. There are few candidates for Town offices in this eastern sectloii of the territory and there is no question but that the selection of Mr. Southard at the primaries would materially strengthen the ticket.
If nominated and elected he advo¬ cates the strict and conservative ex pendlture of funds; a complete and comprehensive system of bookkeeif- ing which will permit of the most careful scrutiny. He believes that the Superintendent should be on the job when the work is being done so thai '.here will be no question of its noL being up to the standard. 'M'en." be says, "will only get paid for the work that they actually do."
Mr. Southard has all the qualifica¬ tions of the office. A vote for him will be for the continuance of good road building.
CRAFT LEAK^Di RACE
FORMER LAWRENCE POLICE- MAN HAS MADE TELLING CAN¬ VASS AMONG VOTERS
The office of Constable of tbe Town of Hempstead is a most Important po¬ sition: the officer must be a thorough¬ ly reliable citiien. Tbere is one can¬ didate from tbe southern section of the Town down In tbe Branch that we can vouch for decidedly. That man is Frank Craft and be is certainly a good choice for the position. Although be Is not as well known In the east¬ ern section as some of the other can¬ didates, absolute dependence can be placed in him.
Mr. Craft is a resident of Inwood. He Is about thirty years of age, stand¬ ing ibout six feet In height. Although a plumber by trade he has been an officer of some village in the Town all bis life. He bas served on the police force of Lawrence for over six years and has received a schooling unequal ed in this section.
Mr. Craft Is one of the most experi¬ enced offlcers in the Tow^n. He was born In Inwood and has lived there all his life and has a thorough knowl¬ edge of the i)eople and the territory. He has always heen an active Repub¬ lican and is a genial good fellow. He ought to receive unquallfled support at the primaries on Saturday. His election would be a good thing for the Town.

and has obtained a competence which | or a man who wor*ed more enthusi-
places him among the Independent men of the Town and County. His friends and neighbors who know him best ask most pertinently, "What man of the candidates Is better flttea to be a public servant?"
Although Mr. Denton has been a resident of Roosevelt for but ten years, he and his parents and grand¬ parents have been llfe-llng taxpayers and residents of the Town. He has been an active member of the Re- publluin party since the days of
astlcally for her welfare. It was large¬ ly through his efforts that the best sewerage system in this part of the State was installed at a most reason¬ able figure. He served the Village as Trustee for two consecutive terms in a most commendable manner .

Franklin C. Gilbert, clerk of the Town of Hempstead, is a candidate for '•eelectlon to the office and seeks the Republican nomination at the primar rles on Saturday. As deputy to bis father and as Town Clerk himself he has proved most efficient and pains¬ taking. He is somewhat younger than the other candidates for the office, but it Is conceeded that the younger can¬ didates will materially strengthen thk ticket. Certainly they are more ac¬ tive and Mr. Gilbert is just as effi¬ cient if not more so, having had ac¬ tual experience.
Mr, Gilbert is well and favorably known in Hempstead and throughout the town generally. He has all/aya been identified with all activities of a public character resultant in bene¬ fits to the taxpayers and citizens of the community. He Is a most public spirited and ever willing to sacrifice his own Interests to the Interests of friends and fellow co-workers.
Clerk Gilbert has made an extensive canvaaa of the Town and.everywhere he has Impressed the voters with his general desirability. He Is conscien¬ tious and If nominated and elected would devote the same care and atten¬ tion to the office that he does at the present time. He Is honest, industri¬ ous, and honor Is more to blm than money. He would make a competent man m the office and his friends be¬ lieve he win be elected.
HIS FAMILIARITY WITH REAL ES¬ TATE VALUES AND BUILDINQ CONSTRUCTION MAKES HIM OF DOUBLE VALUE TO TAXPAY¬ ERS. .
„., ¦ '••s.f^
Perhaps no candidate for the office of Town Assessor at the Republican primaries next month is better known than Clarence A. Edwards of Free- port. Born with the stuff in him that makes men of value to communities, he has become a business man of keen acumen appreciated for the soundness of his advice. As an ex¬ ample of a self-made man he occu¬ pies a unique position. He Is dis¬ tinctly fitted to be a public servant. The career of Mr. Edwards has not been of the meteoric sort, but rather that ot a steady, solid growth—a growth gained by strict honesty and square dealing with his fellow men. Mis public and private reputation is unblemished. He was born in Roose¬ velt of worthy parentage and has lived on Long Island In the Town of Hempatead all hl« life. His familiari¬ ty with real estate, comparative prop¬ erty values and building construction are assets which make him of double value to the taxpayers.
Mr. Edwards Is quite appreciative of the importaaca. of the office lo which he seeks election. In an inter¬ view with a repi^sentatlve of the pa¬ per he outlined the basis of his can¬ didacy In a way worthy of the con¬ sideration of e^^ry taxpayer and vot¬ er in this townahip. He said, "The office of Town Assessor Is one of tbe most Important in the regime of gov¬
ernment; It requires unlimited but liberal and conservative considera¬ tion. If nominated and elected I pro¬ pose to deal fairly and equally with every property owner, I am deeply sensible of the responsibility of the office."
A man who has made a succe.ss in his private life and private business can't help but make a good pubfic official. Mr. Edwards has been in the real estate business all his life. He has bought, sold and handled real es¬ tate In all parts of the Township, from plots of 20 by a 100 to plots of 100 acres. For three years he haa been aasoclated with the dean of real estate brokers, Henry P. LIbby.
Through bis political and businesi- connectons Mr, Edwards haa a large acquaintance throughout the Towti and County. He has gained a well earned popularity for fairness. He has always been a Republican and has worked staunchly for the princi¬ ples of the party. He is a member of the Freeport Club and was one of the charter members of the Freeport Lodge of Elks. He is public spirited to a large degree. And it can honest¬ ly he said that no man has been more loyal to his principles.
Mr. Edwards makes real estate aijd property appraisal his business, not a side line. This makes him doubly competent for the office. He has probably made more appraisals in this Town and County for reputable title companies of New York City and the East than any other candidate run ning for office. He haa become a criterion on real estate values.
Former Justice of the Peace Charles F. Gittens is running strong in the race for the nomination for Town Clerk at the primaries on tha 1.3th. Having been formally a mem¬ ber of the Town Board, where he served with the greatest amount of satisfaction, he naturally knows con¬ siderable of the ins and outs of the clerk's work. In his canvass during the last few weeks he has been wel¬ comed by former associates and friends in a way that leaves no doubt of the support that he will receive.
The Justice has been a notable figure In Republican politics for t'r past twenty-flve years. His honesty and efficiency cannot be questioned, and he is esteemed and revered by all who have the pleasure of meeting an knowing him. There is no doubt bul thai his past exjieiience would be of Inestimable value to himself and to the taxpayers of tho Town if lie were nominated and elected.
Mr. Gittens stands as a tower of .strength in the ranks of the party. He bas .ilways been devoted to its highest principles, and lias labored sincerely for the best interests of his constituents. He Is worthy of the support (if all voters. He would make a good Town Clerk.

It is a noticeable fact that since Judge Italslg has been en the bench tbo criminal element has avoided his locality or conducted themselves in an orderly manner.
