the National Progressive Party in NsBUU ended up its campaign on Saturday last by a tour of the "Flying Sqoadron," with Colonel Roosevelt, Senator Davenport, and Senator Josi- •h Newcomb. The first meeting place
¦ at the Club Auditorium, Rock¬ Tille Centre at 2:30 p .m., and the second at Mullin's Hall. Port Wash¬ ington, at 4 p. m.
The Auditorium at Rockville Centre was fllled, and a very enthusiastic crowd greeted Colonel Roosevelt. The audience was composed mostly of Colonel Roosevelt's friends of the 1B13 campaign, many of whom have more or leas identified themselves with the Republican Party. William N. Ridge of Lynbrook presided.
Colonel Roosevelt and the cam¬ paign part left New York at 1:30 p. in., with Elvin N. Edwards, who as Connty Chairman of the National Progressive Party, took personal charge of the Squadron through Nas¬ aau County.
From Rockville Centre, the Colonel and his party went to Mullin's Hall, Port Washington, where another very enthusiastic crowd greeted them. This meeting was presided over by Charles Francis of Port Washington.
Colonel Roosevelt and the members of the "Flying Squadron" were the gnests of ex-Judge, Edwards at the Garden City Hotel for dinner on Sat- uraday, after which time the squadron went to Richmond Hill and from there to tbe Academy of Music at Brooklyn.
Through a misunderstanding, one of the Brooklyn papers stated the night before the tour, that Colonel Roose¬ velt would not be in Nassau County on Saturday. This probably effected many hundreds of people who would bave liked to have heard the Colonel.
Mervin Hulse of Baldwin, through his attorney ex-Judge Elvin N. Ed¬ wards, has commenced an action in the Supreme Court of Nassau County against Vt^illlam R. Bruckhauser of Lynbrook. The case is for $5000, damages for personal Injuries, and arose out of an automobile accident that happened in September last, on Mott avenue north of Baldwin.
The complaint alleges that Hulse was riding horseback on his way home on the day of the accident, when a new Cadillac automobile driven by BruclchauBer's son, William, came to¬ ward him at a high rate of speed and crashed Into the horse ana rider, at a curve In the road, injuring the horse to such an extent that It became necessary to shoot the animal. In addition to this Hulse, was severely cut about the face and body, the gash In his cheek was of such a nature that twenty-flve stitches had to be taken iu it.

MISS MAXSON ENGAGED
Miss Josephine Maxson Make An-

Party
A dinner party—oneJof the pretti¬ est of the season—was given on Sat¬ urday ev<!n;ng by Mr. and Mrs. Har¬ old E. Maxson, or LonK Beach ave¬ nue, to announce the engagement of their daughter, Josephine, to Russell Randall. The house was beautifully decorated with autumn leaves, the dining room looking particularly at¬ tractive In its dress of season hues.
The engagement announcement of the young people was unique. In the center of the elaborately dressed ta¬ ble was'^a huge paper pumpkin pie, with rlbbona attached to the place cards of the guests on one end, and the other end hidden in the pie. Dur¬ ing the dinner each of the party pulled one of the ribbons to which a pretty favor was attached. When it came time for Miss Maxon to draw her prize, all eyes were centered upon the end of that particular ribbon and what they saw was a beautiful dia¬ mond ring. From the pretty blush-
The Town of Hempstead acquired prominence in more ways than one in the election of Tuesday Through the use of voting machines two records for quick returns were established. Governor Glynn received his first nows of the result of the voting for Governor and Lieutenant Governor from district number 17 at Hempstead, flve minutes after the polls closed. The first complete district returns to i>e received in New York City came from the 10th in Freeport, just twen¬ ty-six minutes after the closing.
One positive result of the election Tuesday which met with the approv¬ al of all was the efficiency of the vot¬ ing machines. In the six districts with machines, all the work was com¬ pleted within an hour and the books sealed.
The following comparison of the voting and counting in two Freeport districts, one with and one without machines, is convincing: ,
In district No. 10, 278 votes were cast with the machine. A dummy demonstration wns con- .stantly made on a second ma¬ chine. Inspector made a record in voting in five seconds. An aged voter took the longest time, three minutes, . four seconds. Twenty-seven minutes after dos¬ ing all the work was completed. In district No. 8, 228 votes, were cast on the bedquilt ballot. There were plenty of booths. An average of five minutes was taken by each voter. Working as hard as oonsistnt with accuracy, the Inspectors were not able to an¬ nounce the results until after 2 o'clock the next morning. In an interview to a Post repre¬ sentative, Mr. Rice said, "the voting machine is ooming to stay with us. The town must have them."

LOCAL SUFFRAGISTS /?LAN WINTER WORK
At Enthusiastic Meeting Held in Brooklyn Hall Winter Activities are Arranged. The Club Ha^ Home of Mrs. Isabelle I. EUterich placed at Their Disposal to be Used as Headquarters.
New interest has been awakened in the Women's Suffrage Club of Free- port. A small but enthusiastic meet¬ ing was beld last Thursday afternoon in Brooklyn Hall. Plans for winter meetings were taken up and placed in the hands of committees. It could be easily seen that every effort waa being put forth to make the club stronger and more powerful.
iMrs. Isabelle I. Elterich who has l>ecome recently identified with the Club, was very enthusiastic in the movement to push the Freeport Club j to the front. She bas plaoed her i home on Cottage Court at the dispos-. al of the club that they may have per- j manent headquarters.
In a very impressive speech, she i told the memibers of th Club of her j trip to the Rochester Convention, and of the work that was carried on there. I She related her experiences and the conversations with Mrs. Brown and i Mrs. Carrie C. Catt in which they J approved heartily her plan for a club house. Mrs. ElteicPS 'offer was ac-', cepted. i
A communication was read at the meeting, calling the attention of the , meml>€rs to the plea of the Empire ^ State Committee that all attend the big convention at Carnegie Hall, on , Friday evening, November 6th. It was noted that a "flying squardron of i women voters" from Colorado, Illln- , ois, Washington, California, and Kan¬ sas would be present to address the ; convention. j
Election of oflScers will be held at tbe next meeting. A nominating committee of three was appointed; Mesdames Ecliart, Dixon, and Abbott. There has been an app&ient lack ot interest In the club on the part of the present offlcers and a change, the members of the club believe, will be most desirable.

APPEAL GEORGE DECISION
Action for Fare Reduction to be
Argured on Monday
at Albany
The case of Harvey J. George against me Long Island Railroad Com¬ pany comes on In the Appellate Di¬ vision for argument in the third de¬ partment, at Albany, Novemtier yiu. This is the action brought by the business men and tmy interests of Kreeport through ex-Judge Elvin N. Edwards to compel the Long Island Railroad Company to reduce the round trip fare from New York.
The case was tried >ast summer be¬ fore the Public Service Commission in New York City and the prayer of the complainant was denied. The deci¬ sion of the Commiasion admitting there was dscriminatlon against the village of Freeport, but stating that if there were any changes made in the rate, it would result in other towns on Long Island being discrim¬ inated against besides Freeport.

It was Republican weather Tues¬ day. And the Republicans voted. Whitman defeated Glynn by 133,000. The most devoted Republicans hoped tjiat the up-.state vote would over- j ome the New York City poll and it I did with plenty to siMire. Even in In the course of the essay Miss Cof-1 the Democratic strongholds of New
York, Kings, and Queens counties, Glynn lost heavily from the usual Democratic majorities.
In the three counties named Glyna secured 243,766 and Whitman ro»i,116 votes, giving Glynn a iwltry majority of 37,615 votes' over Whitman. What a rebuke to Murphylsni and the whole Tammany clique. In all Us political history never has it received such a defeat in its own stronghold. And everywhere is the cry," May it never recover." To quote Murphy'a own words," There is nothing more to be said."
The Republicans will have a large majority in the L«>gislature and havs won back the Senate l»y 13 majority, the Assembly by 63.
