Governor Bass VIII Support
th3 Progressive Ticket

Concord, n. H., Sept. 6.-Pro-
gressives of New Hampshire have
called on Winston Churchill to accept
the Progressive nomination for gov
ernor. The call is in the form of an
announcement Of the actual organiza-

Progressive party to have a complete
state as we'll as a national ticket.
At the same time, Governor Bass
has come out openly for the Progress
sives, and has thrown his fortunes in

ing of the Progressives at Manchester

gressive party must be state as well
as a national organization, and sets
forth it's reasons.
