of the State Federation of Woman Clubs, has
become an ardent advocate of the Progressive
party. She has accepted the invitation of the
Bull Moosers to take an active interest in their
campaign and has even gone 50 far as to actu-
ally "stand up in meetin'" and take issue
with some of the old line politicians who have
been workers in the ranks for many years.
Mrs. Pattison is the pride of Metuchen and
her work in politics this year has aroused a
great deal Of interest.
1t seems, however, that she is not to have
everything her own way. A new voice has
been raised in the "brainy borough" to dispute
the position Mrs. Pattison holds as the fore
most lady of the town in political affairs. This
person is not a Bull Moosette, either. She is
no less. a person than Miss Irene Mason, a
.tuchen, who is candidate for state senator on
the Prohibition ticket. She is determined that
Mrs. Pattison shall not have everything her
own way, and has taken up the challenge.
At the mass meeting held by the Prohibi-
tionists in Metuchen Thursday night, Miss
Mason made the speech of the evening, claim
ing that the Prohibition party was the origi-
nal woman's suffrage party Of the country,
and that all the progressive policies of the Bull
have been stolen from the Prohi-
bitionists. Miss Mason made a telling speech
and won great applause from her audience.
1t would seem that in order to settle the
question of supremacy between these two
champions of women in politics, a debate
should be held between Miss Mason and Mrs.
P~attison. The issue is plainly drawn and the
people of the county await the outcome with

THE ALL-ABsoRBING TOPIC.

Politics have indeed taken a back seat for
the present while the Giants and Red Sox bat
tie for supremacy in the baseball world. Judg-
ing from the games already played it looks as
if the two teams were about as evenly matched
as any baseball contestants could be.
Boston, thus far, seems to have a shade the
better of it, and from the present outlook, is
likely to win the title of the worlds cham
pions. The Giants, however, have always
great luck and are strong at the finish. There
is n9~do1bt that McGraw will make a desper-
ate effort to pull his team together for the last
few games in an effort to gain the upper hand.
In the meantime the baseball fans throughout
the country are on edge awaiting the final
score.
1t is no wonder that Governor Wilson laugh
ingly apologies to his audiences for running
for President while the worlds series is being
played. 1t is safe to say that should a political
meeting be held in the afternoon the greatest
drawing card to get the people to attend
would be the announcing of the scores during
the meeting.
In fact, the presidential candidates might as
well rest their throats for the next few days
until the suspense is over. To the average
American, strange as it may seem, the Sc
lection of a President is now secondary to the
settlement of the worlds baseball cham
pionship.

BE SURE TO REGISTER.

1t is necessary that every person who de-
sires to vote at the coming election shall reg
lister at the next opportunity or he will find
that he is barred from exercising his right as
a citizen.
The new election law under which we are
now working, makes personal registration
necessary every year. 1t matters not whether
a man has been living in the same town or
even in the same house for years past, he must
go to the polls on one of the registration days
and have his name placed on the election
books anew, otherwise he will not be given an
official ballot when the time comes to vote.
There is but one more registration day be-
fore election. For a city having over 5000 in
habitants this registration day is October %.
For all places having 5000 or less, the regis
~tration day is October 20. This is absolutely
the last opportunity, unless one desires to go
before the court with affidavits to have his
name placed on the poll books.
The point we desire to impress upon our
readers is that this registration is absolutely
necessary, whether you voted last year or not.
1t is a duty that must be performed every year
as long as the present law is in effect. There
fore, if you have not registered this year be
sure to do so on the last day as here stated, or
You will not be able to vote on November 5.

THINGS ARE DIFFERENT NOW.

Republlcanlsm is undergoing a great change
in Perth Amboy. One change, of course, is the
{ swing to the new Progressive party, but we
have reference here to the Republicans who
still cling to party regularity.
Perhaps the most striking instance of this
change occurred at the meeting of the Young
Mems Republican Club Thursday night when
a vote was taken on the endorsement of the
complete Republican ticket, from Taft down.
GEORGE y. Haney wanted the roll called on the
motion so as to put every member on record.
There was a time, not many years ago, when
whatever Mr.. Haney wanted, as far as the Re
publican party in this city was concerned,
went through without a question. Mr.. Haney
was then the recognized representatiye-hs here
efsh&s dEssoadore Strong, and Gd1,s a96sr;y' Strong was
the party boss. But not only was Mr.. Haney's
wish not carried out Thursday night, but no
attention whatever was paid to his motion. 1t
was not even seconded and the president Of
the club, Harry r. Wilson, proceeded with the
business before the meeting as if Mr.. Haney
had not spoken. If such a snub had been given
the chief lieutenant of the boss a few years
ago, it would have been political suicide for
the person giving it. Today, however, Mr..
Wilson has come to be looked upon as the Re
publican leader in Perth Amboy and the mere
fact that he is president Of the club is evi-
dence that things are not what they used to
be, and then for the former local leader under
the old boss system to be completely ignored
--.4Iou4 o-o, oroo+;,r , ,;,,o1o oP ovo,+4oo,+
proves conclusively that a new order of things
has come about.
The motion to put every man present at the
meeting Thursday night on record on the en-
dorsement of Taft and the whole Republican
ticket would have been exceedingly embar-
RAISING to many of the members of the club.
Mr.. Haney doubtless knew this and probably
offered his motion with that end in view. The
outcome speaks we'll for the Republican party
in Perth Amboy.
"Dory" Strong, himself, also got a setback,
although indirectly, at the meeting Thursday
night. Two men from New Brunswick, who
are engaged in organizing the county for Taft,
were present and one of them suggested that if
the local club needed any help in the cam
paign to call upon the county seat Republicans
who would be only too glad to take a hand
down here. But President Wilson promptly
and emphatically told the New Brunswick
emissaries that Perth Amboy Republicans were
well able to take care of themselves. This was
well spoken. Perth Amboy has had enough of
"Dory'' Strong Quitting n" 1t is the
Glory" Strong methods, applied to all sec
tons of the country, that has brought the Re
publican party where it is today. We con
graduate the Perth Amboy Republicans for
cutting loose and thus openly showing their
absolute independence of the old Strong
Haney machine
