REGULAR REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS
For Supreme Court Judge STEPHEN J. CALLAGHAN
For Member of Assembly THOMAS M'WHINNEY
OUR "MAN OF FIRE."
Republban candidate for Member of Assembly, Thoinas A. McWhinney, a life-long resident of the Town of Hempstead, is a genius of labor— truly 80. He is decidedly a man of activity, a man of positlveness. An acknowledged leader among men of all parties he has worked always with unceasing energy, system and perse¬ verance. "Mac," as he is familiarly known throughout the Couuty and State, Is more than anything else a worker, a man who does things.
All aro familiar with the splendid work accomplished by Assemblyman McWhinney during the past year at Albany and in the Assembly District. A more patriotic, enthusiastic, loyal son of Nassau never went to the Leg¬ islature. And never once in the course of the whole year's work did he for¬ get the volunteer flremen, their needs, their wants, their desires. Often in the course of successful flghla in the chambers of the Capitol, he has been called the "Man of Fire." Mr. Mc¬ Whinney has been chief of the Law¬ rence Fire Depariment for a score of years.
Governor Whitman came lo Lon^ Island, to the South Shore largely as a result of the insistence of Assem¬ blyman McWhinney who wanted him to study condiiions at Hrst hand. We want a South Shore waterway, we want a Normal School, we want the School of Agriculture at Farming- dale completed and opened, i Republicana and Democrats, join hands for "Old Nassau"; send Mc¬ Whinney back to Albany. Let him continue the flght and the next Leg¬ islature with Governor Whitman at the wheel will give us our waterways and our'schools.
THE NEW CONSTITUTION.
It woufd Indeed be most regrettable If the great questions growing out of the war so fliled the minds of the citizens of the State that iTie proposed new constitution, which wlll be sub¬ mitted to the voters November 2, should not have the full discussion to which it should be subjected.
Broadly st>eaking, it makes funda¬ mental, almost revolutionary, changes In the organic law of the State. The most important is the extenalon of the powers of the Governor. Outside of the Controller's office and the leg¬ islative branch practically all ap¬ pointments are In bis hands. He has also the power of removal. The finances of the State are under his control, 80 far as the making of the budget is concerned.
The Legislature may not Increase appropriations beyond the maximum flxed In the Qovernor's offlce, but it may reduce them.
New York City may never control the Legislature, but it Is left prac-

DOHT NEGLECT REGISTRATION.
It should not be necessary to re¬ direct public attention to the fact that today and tomorrow are the last days of registration. The citizen who falls to comply with this obvious duty before ten o'cioek tonight or to¬ morrow night is disfranchised so far as thia election is concerned. There will be no other opportunity to qual¬ ify. Thfe man who fails to register can only look on. The one question of a vote for the Conatitution ahould be enough to enlist all patriots, and to bring about the largest possible registration.
If you have not already done so, go to the polls tonight and get your name on the books.
LARGE ATTEMDAMCB AT BALDWIN
SOMDAY SCHOOL RALLY SUNDAY
CHAPEL OF METHODIST EPISCO¬ PAL CHUBCH HAS BEEN RENO¬ VATED AHD RE-DECORATED.
Extravagance in government, whatever form It may take, promptly comes back to bother every individ¬ ual citizen be the taxpayer or rent- payer. During the four years of Democratic government in this State, governmental extravagance took many forms and it will be a long time before the State completely recovers even under the most favorable cir¬ cumstances.
A vote for a Republican member of Assembly is a vote for good govern¬ ment. Neglect to vote is equivalent to a vote for a return to the condi¬ tlona that prevailed a year ago.
Compare the record thus far made by the present Republican State ad¬ ministration with the record made by the Democratic administrations of Governors Dix, Sulzer and Glynn, and you will have no difflculty in deciding how you will vote this fall.

VOTERS URGED TO VOTE "YES"
ON BARGE CANAL REFERENDUM
ITS APPROVAL WILL ASSURE THE PASSAGE OF SOUTH SHORE WATERWAY.
(.Special to The .Va.ssau Tost,)
Those who voted in favor of the $101,000,000 bond issue of 11) Hi, whicii called for the construction of the Erie, Champlain and Oswego Canals, did so because lliey under¬ stood tliat this nioney was to go to¬ ward the construction of a moderu, up-to-date waterway, whicii would uot only connect the Great Lakes and middle west with tlie splendid ship¬ ping facilities of tlie Atlantic Sea¬ board but would establish a route for the inexpensive transportation of goods between these points. The State Federation of Labor believes that the canal will accomplish this purpoae and in a resolution adopted at a conference of delegates held in >lli;i.ny lasl Tuesday they said: "The Barge Canal, in our judgement is a sound proposition, as well as of genu¬ ine commercial value to the common¬ wealth."
The delegates to this convention adopted this resolution and used this language because they fully appre¬ ciate the relation existing between the Barge Canal and the inland ship¬ ping of the nation and the effect its completion will have upon the freight rates in this state. To fully appre¬ iiate this reduction and realize the relation it will have toward the slate at large it must be considered that fully 73% per cent, of the state's lotal population resides within two miles of the waterway system and that 87 per cent, of this population is found within 20 miles of the canal's banks.
A splendid illustration of the re¬ duction in rates, which will follo,w iht completion of the Barge Canal' was given recenlly by the completion of the Panama. It was then found, whereas it cost $18 to ship one thous-^' and feet of lumber across the contin¬ ent by rail, it only cost $9 to ship the same amount to New York from the Pacific coast by steamer, utilizing the Panama Canal. Nor Is this reduction true of rates on lumber alone. A very conservative estimate shows that it costs $.99 per ton to Ship freight to Albany from New York by rail, wherels the canal rate Is $.28.
The barge canal is the natural out¬ let for freight trafflc between the middle west and east. It has right¬ fully been called, "Nature's Gateway to the Heart of the Continent." The Erie Canal did not fail, as many sup¬ pose it did, for in 1881, when all tolls
were abolished, it waa found that it had a balance of $42,000,000 to its credit after all expenses such as original cost and maintenance had been paid.
The age of canal transportation is not ended, it has jnst begun and it is for the voters lo decide whether they will adopt the proposed bond issue or vote "no" and cause the Leg¬ islature to approjiriate sufilcient money to pay the canal expenses. The latter course means a heavy tax, the adoption of the Barge Canal Refer¬ endum, a light one. It is left to the voter to decide which it shall be.

This is that new $885 Studebaker! The new car that has been so much talked of as the best car that Studebaker ever built. And if thje picture that we show here ever began to do justice to the car itself, it would be more than enough merely to say: "$885 buys THAT car."
But no picture can ever adequately illustrate the car's lines, let alone its quality. And so we are forced to fall back on the old. time-worn "aee it with your own eyes." However, "seeing it" will be surpris¬ ing, we know. For
It has GREATLY INCREASED POWER!

It has INCREASED CAPACITY AND COMFORT!
The bodies of th"' now cars are larKcr than over, Inim^r ami luonilir ev¬ erywhere. Doors open wider. Cushions are dt^eper ancl softer and built up on longer coll .springs—wider, too. Driver's-seat is divided. Atid In the tonneau art' two extra seats that fold down Into rec<'»»g('S In the floor, completely disappearing when not In use, by means of which the car can speedily be made Into a moBt connnodlous 7-pas8enger car.

And yet you PAY LESS!
.\iiil here il Is wc.rlity of mention that this year's prices on Studebaker ears ;ire, iioi tin re.xult (it our buildiiiK smaller, lower priced cars to sfll purel.v on a priie basis, but they Jire the result of our resources and facilities tlial few maiiufacturer.s'ean rival, the result of 4 years' study lit just two elias.-^es and the great, iiianufaeturlnK: economies of coiicen- ivatln^f on but two de.slKiis.
That is the sum and substance of what is to be said for this new Forty H, P. Studebaker. It is not only the best car that Studebaker ever built—but one of the greatest values any maker ever oflfered at any price. It gives more for each dollar of its prioe than ever before. And any man who intends to bny a car at any price, will make a I'rave mistake if he fails to see this new oar that represents the best efforts and the price-economies of one of the world's largest pro¬ ducers of motor cars.
