FOR MEETING
AT METUCHEN
County Ticket May Not be
Named Then.
0psoiaI to the EYkNIN0 y

Metuchen, Sept. Bull Moose men
from all parts of Middlesex county are
coming to Metuchen Thursday primar-
lily to eat of a dollar dinner (Which is
to cost $1,25 by the way but the real
reason has been given out all along as
a mass meeting for county organization
and selection of a full county ticket for
the Progressive party. AS matters
stand now there may be no selection Of
a county ticket at the dinner but it
may be decided to hold a county con-
v%ention two weeks later in Perth Am
boy, New Brunswick or M%etuchen. 1t
will depend entirely upon the people
who attend the dinner whether they go
ahead and pick a ticket or hold the
matter over. And the cause of this
sudden change of plan is William Din
widdie, president Of the Raritan Roose-
welt Club.
Mr.. Dinwiddie is fearful lest the local
Moosers be accused Of running a steam
roller over the toes of the rest of the
Bull Moosers of Middlesex county and
he says that if an attempt is made to
put through a slate at the dinner Thurs
day night there certainly will be ground
for the steam roller talk. So serious
ly impressed was Dinwiddie with how
much harm could come to the Roose-
welt movement in Middlesex should the
Democrats and Republicans throw out
any hints about steam roller tactics
that he called an emergency meeting of
the board of governors of the Raritan
Roosevelt Club Sunday afternoon and
put the question up to them. There
was a big difference of opinion among
the governors 1t is understood, some of
them arguing that the meeting Thurs
day night will be a very representa-.
tive one, that practically every section
OF the country would be represented,
that the meeting was open to all and
everybody was coming with the idea of
perfeetlng an organization, naming a
ticket, and going back home to their re-
spective polling places ready to fight
from then until election day.
1t was brought out that Ray Groves
wanted a county convention held at
New Brunswick, but this was frowned
ON by some who said that the idea of
holding a Bull Moose convention In
Dory Strong's home town was not a
good one. Two leading Moosers seemed
to fear that Dory's henchmen might
pack the convention thereby causing
all kinds of complications. After a deal
of talk it was decided that Metuchen
should not hog all the offices on the
ticket, in fact should not propose a
single local man for office, should not
even take a stand in favor of making
up a ticket at the dinner, in short should
take a back seat and leave the steam
roller where it is, part in Charlie Prize
kits barn, and the rest in Charlie
Bloomfeld's barn. 1t will depend en-
tirely upon the Moose of the rest of
the County where and when the county
ticket shall be made up and how II
should be constructed.
