Situation Tense
AS ENJOYS Meet

LONDON, Dec 19.-While reports
were being received here today OF an
other land engagement between Turk
ish and Greek armies in Epirus, the
peace negotiations between Turkey and
the Balkan allies were resumed in st.
James palace. This was a crucial day,
and tension between the ENJOYS had
reached a high state Of tension when
the plenipotentiaries reassembled for a
resumption Of the conference.
Before the session began, Geographic
reports had come from Constantinople
that the porte had authorized the Turk
ish plenipotentiaries to treat with the
Greeks, despite the fact that Greece
and Turkey still are engaged in hostili
ties and this put a more optimistic
complexion on the situation.

CITY ABOVE R

Former Judge Lyon, the Progressive candi-
date for state senator, gives the members OF
his party in this city some excellent advice in
the statement that was published in the
EVENING NEWS yesterday. The enthusi
astic Bull Moosers who are advocating the
third ticket from top to bottom seem to lose
sight Of the fact that there is a vast differ
ence between national politics and politics
which concern purely local affairs.
In a city election mere party name means
nothing. To nominate a third ticket solely
for the purpose of running the candidate I'M
der the name Of the Progressive party is
STOPPING to just the kind of politics that the
Progressives are trying to eliminate. What
we want are good men to Aa11die our city af-
fairs NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. they favor Taft,
Roosevelt or Wilson.
We believe that the candidates already be-
fore the people of this city give every voter
an opportunity to vote for desirable men for
public office, thus eliminating any need of an
other ticket. At the same time, however, the
Roosevelt followers, if they are to be consist
ent. should refrain from indorsing any ticket
whether Democratic or Republican As Mr..
Lyon says in his statement, the Progressiyes
are just as free from the Republican party as
they are from the Democratic party. For this
reason the members Of the new party, for this
election at any rate, should be allowed to vote
for whomsoever they desire for city offices.
Next year it is possible that the Republicans
will sink into insigniicance and the Progress
ives will take their proper place in local
politics.
We cannot see that there is anything to
be gained by placing a third ticket in the field
for municipal Offices at this time, unless to
crafty the radical desires of some Of the en-
thusiasts whose dislike for the Republican
party seems to have overcome their better
judgment.
Remember, as far as local affairs are con-
cerned, we are all working for the best inter-
ests of Perth Amboy, not the Progressive
party or any other political organization.
