around the corner from the bakery, and
talked high finance.
Il don't know the name Of the man run

said julius, by way Of prelude. but when
II comes to election I think I will carry the
voters Of the village here. am now the
rlpervisor here and already l have been
the town clerk, he added, with pardonAble
pride.
Mr.. Hauser could throw no light On the
rlmor that he had been selected by the
Murphy crowd 70 handle the millions OF
dough belonging to the State OF New York
because of the bakers uninterrupted ex-
perience a. a dough mixer in his little
bakery in Main street, Sayville. In fact, Mr.
Hauser doesn't know just how he came to be
nominated at Buffalo. One day Jim, the
Sayville operator. handed him a telegram
dated Buffalo from ex-senator Ed Bailey
of Patchogue telling hin he had been
nominated.
Since then | nave seen it in the public
prints that l am nominated said Hauser
tonight. senator Bailey is my friend, 30
guess he gets me the nomination because
am a Cherman.
Julius guessed right the very first time.
1t was Ed Bailey who came up TO Charley
Murphy at Buffalo to ask the Tammany
boss if Suffolk county, or rather Bailey.
could name the candidate for the State
Treasurership. Murphy said the ex-senator
could, as long as he named a German.
The wisdom Of the Murphy selection was
made evident tod ay when IL was learned
from Joe Jedlioks s, the Sayville plumber,
that julius is one Of the best known men in
all Sayville. Joe is a brother-in-Aw of
Julius.

Office. but l handle the money OF this town.
The assessed valuation of Islip Is awful
high, too. 1t is problematical about my
making speeches from the stump when
the campaign starts. Little short speeches
have made when I ran for supervisor
but | haven't made much of a hit at it.
would like to get out of the speaking in
the campaign
Have you givenVmuch study TO the barge
canal?" Mr.. Hauser was asked.
Mr.. Hauser wrinkled his brow for some
time.
Now there we've get into deep water"
be said at last.
you mean the canal is deep, Mr.. Hauser2"
Yes, the canal and the subject. But
down here we vote for all improvements"
he said, with a bright smile Of relief.
Also | have read in the public prints"
continued the candidate, changing the
subject, how l have been Endorsed by the
Independence League"
So far as you know" the candidate
was next asked, @is there any utilization
probable among the Independence League,
the National and the American League?"
Il have heard nothing Of anything like
such a probable utilization " was the answer.
But how about the Tri-State League?"
Il don't hear OF any ~amalgamation with
them, either he replied. after some thought.
What have you to say about the state
ment attributed to John McGraw that he
would not sign Charley Murphy in the
National League, ne was ASkeu.
Il don't know John McGraw and | don't
know Charley Murphy, nor do ! know Mr..
Hearst. l only know that Senator Ed
Bailey got me nominated, and now | await
the official notification Of the Democrats
and the Independence League"
What ia the salary of a State Treasurer,
Mr.. Hauser?"
Il have no idea what the salary is"
no doubt you know, Mr.. Hauser. that
the State Treasurer is also a trustee of
Union College. Where is Union College?"
That | cannot say; but probably it is up
the State. maybe in Albany
You will also, II elected, be a member OF
the State Board Of EQUALIZATION Of Assess
ments, will o not?"
Does that come under my duties also?"
was his questioning answer. -Neffer have
studied up on these things, but I'll learn EN-
when | get the of1ce.
You will have clerks and bookkeepers as
State Treasurer, will you not?"
Il cannot give an answer, y was the reply.
you see, | can't answer questions about the
duties Of the Office because | know nothing
about them. | got a neighbor around the
corner who could tell o these things COR
rect, because he worked in an Office once and
knows about such things. You could 20
around and ask him, only he isn't home.
But the voters here think am a good SUI
pervisOr and | am sure can carry the village
here"
NO doubt, Mr.. Hsuser, Won will have to
get a big bond if elected?'
Well, if l nave to get such "a
bond YOU bet your life I will get il.
l am a follower and a believer in Mr..
Hearst. Also, l believe in the municipal
ownership. In this tow of lslip we should
own our own water and our own gas plant,
which includes also electric lights. Every
where should there be municipal owner
ship. l don't know who is running against
me on the Republican ticket"
During the reporters stay in Sayville
it was learned from Jack Newton, pilot OF
the Sayville seagoing hack, that there is no
doubt that Mr.. HGuser has n great following
among the 900 voters of the village.
