BULL MOOSE
LABEL FIGHT
Just How to Designate Pro-
gressiyes is Question.
(From the NEWS Correspondent

Trenton, Sept. 26:-The dispute
over the designation of the Bull
Moose Party in this state was furth-
er complicated yesterday afternoon
when George D. Chenoweth, OF
Woodbury., who filed with the Secre-
tary of State the first petition for the
Progressive nomination for Congress
in the First District, protested
against the petition filed by Frank
B. Jess, of Haddonfeld, President of
the State Tax Board. Mr.. Cheno-
weth in his petition designated him
self as a candidate of the Progress
i've party. Mr.. Jess, in his petition,
nominated himself as a candidate of
the Progressive Roosevelt Party"
Mr.. Chenoweth filed a written pro-
test against the use of the word
Progressive" in connection with the
| Jess nomination. He said in his pro-
| test: 81 have previously filed, on
September 4, in your Office a petit
Party. and it is the distinctive poll
teal appellation Of my nomination.
I having filed the first petition on
the above date under the Progress
i've Party am, therefore, entitled to
preempt the right to be recognized
as a candidate for Congress under
this term. l hereby protest and
claim the word Progressive is an
invasion of my right, and, further
more, there is no party known as
tn Progressive Roosevelt Party 1t
is purely a fiction intended to de-
ceive and evade the requirements Of
the law"
Mr.. Jess is one of the Progressive
leaders of the state and was a dele
gate to the Bull Moose Convention
at Chicago. He was slated to be the
real Progressive candidate Of Con-
gress in the First District, but Chen
oweth got ahead of him and in filing
his petition preempted the ~designa-
ton Progressive" Under the Ger
an law this prevented the Progress
ives from using the designation they
had intended, and the Bull Moose
leaders, in consequence, have de-
cided to use the designation PRO
gressive Roosevelt Party" Two or
three other Progressive ~Congression-
al petitions have now been filed with
the same designation as that adapted
by Mr.. Jess.
The result of this situation will
be that in the First District there
will be two Progressive columns on
the ballot, November 5, each with
it's respective party designations.
This will, of course, divide the Pro-
gressive vote and tend to favor
Congressman William J.. Browning,
who is the Regular Republican can
didate seeking reelection.

f. C. STOKES
DID NOT VOTE
(From the NEWS Correspondent


Trenton, Sept. 26:-Former Gov
ernor Edward c. Stokes did not vote
in the primaries Tuesday. His
friends cannot remember when be-
fore he has stayed away from the
polls. This action, following the is
suing of a statement by him Tues
day morning to the effect that he
would accept the vice craftsmanship
of the Republican State Committee,
occasioned some surprise.
The former governor votes in
Millville and one reason given for
his failure to cast his ballot is that
he did not care to take any part in
the Republican contest for the con-
gressional nomination in the Second
District, State Senator Isaac 7.

ing one of the candidates.
