PROGRESSIVE TICKET.

The Progressive Club of Perth
Amboy has completed an entire
ticket for the city offices at the pri-
maries in September and the county
candidates will be named within the
next seven days. At a regular meet
ing of the club held last night in the
rooms in the Spitzer building,
Auguste j. Rossi, of 221 Rector
street, was endorsed as a primary
candidate for alderman in the second
ward. Frank Barca, of 1876 Hall
avenue, was endorsed as candidate
for alderman from the sixth ward
James E. Griswold was endorsed for
the assembly and one freeholder will
be endorsed next Tuesday night.
In the second ward the contest
was between Mr.. Rossi, N. w. Pierce
and Harry Braverman. The former
received a majority of the votes cast
and his endorsement was made unan-
imous. In the sixth ward the contest
was between Mr.. Barca and Charles
Richter. Mr.. Barca received a ma
jority and his selection was also
made unanimous.
For the county ticket the local
Progressives are to recommend one
candidate for the assembly and one
| for the Board of Freeholders; also
the members of the county commit
| tee, who will be chosen one from
each of the voting districts in the
city. For the assembly, Mr.. Girls
void was endorsed by the club. A
committee of three, composed of
Daniel Weber, Robert l.. Whitehead
and Joseph Clark, was named to
consider the matter of freeholder
candidates and committeeman and
will report at a special meeting of
the club to bo held in the rooms
Tuesday night of next week. This
will then complete the ticket so far
as the local Progressives are concern
ed and the work Of backing up their
candidates at the polls has already
been started.
Considerable discussion was held
in the matter of a freeholder The
Progressives feel that Perth Amboy
should be directly represented in the
county board inasmuch as this city
pays more in taxes to the county
than any other locality. The poor
In general and the haphazard work
on the Woodbridge creek bridge in
particular came up for comment and
the club members are of the opinion
that Perth Amboy man with a
knowledge of engineering work
would make an ideal choice and the
investigating committee will work
along that line as much as possible.
Mr.. Griswold, the assembly candi-
date, has a wide acquaintance in
Middlesex. He is secretary of the
Progressive county committee and
helped organize the local Progressive
club of which he was the first presi-
dent.
The finance committee was author
lied to proceed with a plan for Sc
curing funds for the coming cam
paign and report at the meeting of
next Tuesday. The members of the
committee are e. l.. Gridley, j. F.
Tangaard and John Innamorati. The
committee will be increased to seven
by the addition of four more men,
bers to be appointed by the chair
man of the club, f. w. Pugsley The
report of the treasurer, f. L. Gridley,
showed a substantial balance August
l. The various committees reported
progress in their respective work.
