THIRD TICKET
is DISCUSSED
Roosevelt Men Hear Views
of Adrian Lyon.

"Third ticket and third party" was
the theme Of an interesting discus
sion last night at the meeting of the
Roosevelt Republican Club, in Moose
hall, which threatened to turn into a
break" in the colonePs forces in this
city until former Judge Adrian Lyon,
the Middlesex county leader, inter-
fered. He spoke of the lack Of i'm
mediate need to settle this important
question and advised the members to
await further developments in the
ranks of the regular Republicans.
Mr.. Lyons remarks were greeted
with applause and so ended the dis
cussion.
Several members, previous to the
Judges remarks, spoke for and
against third ticket. Some declared
vance the ideas of Mr.. Roosevelt and
the Progressives in general. Others
asserted that the so-called compro-
mise idea was more beneficial and
would further the ends Of the Roose-
welt party more quickly than any
other method. Judge Lyon declared
himself as against compromise, but
did not say that he did not favor ac-
cepting any Progressive candidate
who may be named by the regular
Republicans. He suggested a plan
whereby any such nominations,
pleasing In character, could be un-
opposed by the Roosevelt Progress
ives. The Republican nominees con-
sidered conservative, ETC., would
have opposition, Mr.. Lyon intimated.
Mr.. Lyon made lengthy address
on the doings at Chicago at the ma
tional convention Of the Progressive
party, to which he was delegate.
In his remarks Mr.. Lyon declared
that he believes that Colonel Roose-
velt will sweep the country on NO
vember 5. In conclusion Mr.. Lyon
remarked on the planned county
rally at Metuchen on August 20, as
exclusively announced In the EVE
MING NEWS, and urged about doz-
en- members of the local club to at
tend. Resolutions were adopted
thanking Mr.. Lyon for his services at
Chicago and indorslng the platform
and candidates selected at the Pro-
gressive convention. 49,,
Chairman James e. Griswold will
shortly appoint list of workers, a
norton of which was compiled last
night during the meeting. Among the
speakers was H. Seidler, Of Roose-
Welt, who delivered an interesting
talk. The club will probably meet
again next Tuesday night and dis
cuss the campaign work. The meet
ing was the most enthusiastic yet
held by the Roosevelt supporters In
Perth Amboy, as about f1fty-five men
were present.

In the face of constantly increasing
demand for higher efficiency we con
tinue to stumble along with our old
fashioned crude systems Of weights
and measures In almost all industrial
work and business transactions. We
still measure distance by miles. fur
longs, rods, yards, feet and inches, and
their fractions. In volume we have
the several bushels the peck the
quart dry measure and the quart liquid
measure, the U. S. gallon of 231 GU ms
and the British Imperial gallon of 277,-
274 Gu. ms; there are also perches

etc, In measuring area. In weights
we have the long ton and the short ton
ounce, the troy pound and the avoir-
dupois pound and so on. To learn and
remember tables of these many units
is no neasy task. The majority of peo-
pie, even of educated people, cannot
use more than the commonest of these
units. without reference to a book of
tables.
In calculations in which these units
are involved there is always great
chance ror error. This Is especially
true in calculations involving relations
between the different units Of weights
measures, etc. The use of these anti
quated systems is time consuming, UNI
certain and nerve racking.
Why are we so slow to increase
