SECTIONS HEAR CALL

the chance the judge remarked.
Colby Introduced.
Former State Senator Colby was
introduced by Judge Lyon as "the
man who started the progressive
movement in New Jersey five years
ago and has been with it, heart and
soul, ever since" Mr.. Colby won
the hearts of all, right off the
hat" as the boys would say, by de-
scribing the "dignifed" efforts of
Cheer Leader Adrian Lyon, of New
Jersey, at the Progressive national
convention at Chicago. He inquired
If any one present believed hat
Judge Lyon Is always dignified, and,
If so, warmly wished that said be-
lever could have been in a position
to see Mr.. Lyon leading the Jersey
bunch in their wild, state cheer,
while standing on a chair with a red
b%andanna tied about his neck.
To Prove Statement.
The Newark orator offered statis-
tics to prove that the Republican
party of today is not working in the
interest of the working man, or to
meet the change in economic condi-
lions. He believes that the Progress
sive party, if ever elected to power,
will pass legislation which will serve
to protect child labor, establish wo-
mems suffrage, abolish the doctrine
of fellow servant, in the Employers
Liability Act, and to secure old-age
pensions. The latter measure was
explained in detail last night by Sen
ator Colby, who is a remarkable sta
tistican and carries a wealth of fig
ures hidden in the recess Of his bril-
liant brain. He urged the voters
present to get out and hustle, for,
he said, 1--WE have a great cause and
the greatest leader of the day
Mass Meeting September ID.
MI. Dinwiddie moved hat a mass
meeting be called for 2 o'clock Sat
urday afternoon, September IA, at
New Brunswick, which was seconded
by Charles H. De Voc, Of Spotswood.
Mr.. Steinberg, of Roosevelt, spoke in
favor of Perth Amboy as the meeting
place, but James E. Griswold. chair
man of the Roosevelt Club, of Perth
Amboy, declared that the Roosevelt
forces should invade the Taft center
New Brunswick-and throw a
scare into the camp Of the stand
patters. H. Raymond Groves. of
New Brunswick, urged the Progress
sives to assemble in the city he rep
resented, and the original motion
was unanimously carried. 1t was
at first decided to affix the names of
all present, who wished to sign, to
the call, and publish same In all
county newspapers, but this Idea was
abandoned, when the matter Of ex-
pense was discussed, and the chair
man and secretary were authorized
to sign the document.
To Draw Up Call.
Messrs. Dinwiddie, Griswold and
De Voc were named as a committee
to draw up the call, which was COM
pleted and read to the signers be-
fore the meeting adjourned. James
A. Edgar, H. Raymond Groves and
Russell E. Watson, of New Bruins
wick, were named by the chair as a
committee on arrangements for the
mass convention. On motion of Mr..
Edgar, a vote of thanks was extend
ed the Raritan Roosevelt Club for
the generous entertainment. A ris-
ing vote of thanks was extended to
Senator Colby, and the secretary in
structed to inform the Newark ora

A rising vote of Endorsement was
given Mark O. Prentiss, of Metu-
chen, the congressional candidate
on the Bull Moose" ticket.
To Organize the County.
1t is understood that in addition
to perfecting a county organization
and naming a county ticket, at the
New Brunswick convention, the
Progressives will promulgate plans
for a county executive committee, as
well as the naming of an organiza-
ton committee which will have as its
purpose the organization of a Roose-
welt club in every locality in Middle
sex county. The latter feature was
suggested last night by Harold Ed
gar, of Metuclien. BY the way, a vote
Of thanks was extended to the Bor-
ough of Roosevelt for its wonderful
showing and plentiful noise. which
helped to increase enthusiasm. The
Roosevelt contingent arrived too
late to partake of the spread, but
%contented itself with several tunes
on their fish horns under the win
dows of the banquet hall.
Enjoyed the Feed"
Hillside Inn did credit to its rep
utation in serving the elaborate
feed with such dispatch, every
one agreed. Sixty-eight diners en-
joyed the banquet. There we're no af-
t%er-dinner speeches, except that
Chairman Dinwiddie invited all pres
ent to adjourn to Arcanum hall and
hear the orators of the evening. In
welcoming his guests, Mr.. Dinwiddie
referred to the six suffagettes pres
ent as Lady Moosettes." which Is
indeed original, to say the least.
Every district In the county, save
four, were represented at the ses-
sion in Arcanum hall. The Middle
sex Progressive Club, which was or
ganized in East Brunswick, Madi-
I son and Spotswood on Wednesday
night. was represented by eight
prominent workers.
