REPUBLICAN CITIZENS LEAGUE WILL TAKE NOMENCLATURE
 OF NEW PARTY.

:, New Haven, July S-It is quite prob able that at a public meeting to be held this evening by the Republican Citizens League, the name "Repub- 1ican' will be dropped and in it's place will be the name of the new third party movement. "The Progressive Party Citizens League of New Ha- ven.'' This name has practically been decided upon by the members of the national committee as the name for the Bull Moose and Red Bandanna'' party. It was decided by the members of the local league to steal a march on the national committee and blos- som forth with the new title before the party itself. A discussion of the proposed platform of the third party, yet to be adopted, will be held and the positive plans for the progressive party campaign will be considered and committees appointed.
 Several prominent speakers, identi- fled with the progressive movement about Connecticut and Massachusetts will be present to talk to the members. Among the list of speakers will be Prof Yandell Henderson of Yale Uni- versity, who will talk on "The Pro- gressive Movement in Connecticut" A report will be submitted at the meeting by Delmar B.
