 Management

The Progresstves of Bridgeport named a complete town and city tick ct for the coming municipal election and also named candidates for alder men in eight of the twelve districts. The convention was conducted and controlled by five of the six men who are on the Progressive party primary list.
 Horace h. Jackson was named as the candidate for mayor and he ac- cepted the nomination making a some what lengthy speech of acceptance. The other candidates are for city clerk. James H. Redden; town clerk, George H. zink, Jr.; tax collector, Joseph L. Peabody; city treasurer, Henry e. Freshour; se1ectmen, A. w. Garde1la. Sidney Curry and Iver Iver- son; board of tEducations Mrs. Will liam T. Hincks and Mrs. s. T. Davis, Jr.; city sheriffs, George w. Schafer, Joseph Zsenyhi and William Walker.
 As predicted in The Farmer last night, Town Chairman Zink had scarcely called the convention to or der when there was vigorous objection to the naming of a ticket and the pro- cedure in general from some of the most prominent mennb CTS of the party in Bridgeport.
 The five enrolled Progressives are: Thomas B. Stenson, Oakley ". Haight Richard I. Bruel, Charles H. Waldorf and Harry N Haw1ey- They were grouped about Town Chairman zink when he called the convention to or der. Haight was then made chairman of the convention and HawIey was made secretary
 The majority Of the Progressives did not enroll for the primaries, it having been the understanding among the members of the party that the candi- dates would be named at mass meet Tv7or "a T7aRfhad of U0DIlidT& choice would prevail.
 Chairman Haight explained that the. five Progressives who held that they were the only ones entitled to any say in naming of the candidates. had con- suited with prominent members of the party and made selections accordingly.
 Then John Taylor, who raised most of the fun on which the campaign was conducted last year. arose to object. MT. Taylor said it has been understood Fthat the candidates if named were to be~naned in open convention and he for one would have nothing to do with a meeting in which the rank and file of the party did. not vote.
 t'I have heard of the doings of Tam many Ha1,'' said Mr. Taylor, and of the doings of Penrose in Pennsylvania but never heard of anything as bad as this.i'
 Others who objected to the proceed ure were Noble F. Vincent, T. Earle Bartrarn, Attorney Henry B. Stoddard and a, number of others also protest ed and when they found their protest would be of no avail they left the hall.
 A number of the members of the Loyal Order of Moose, the fraternal order said they desired to present the name of Charles L. Dennis as a can didate for tax collector. Other mem bers of the Moose lodge wanted MT. Dennis to be the candidate for tax collector. Finally after Mir. Dennis had been brought into the hall from the Plaza theatre where he was att tending the performance, he declined to accept the nomination for tax col 1ector but agreed to stand as the can didate for alderman from the Tenth district.
 The convention then adopted the platform which was printed in The Farmer several months ago. Alder
 men were named in eight of the twelve voting districts as follows: Third. Samuel H. Hollis; Fourth, George H. Fox; Fifth, Harrison Davis; Sixth, Charles H. Waldorf; Seventh, L. H. Miller; Tenth, Charles L. Dem his; Eleventh, Corbin w. Baker, and Twelfth, F. G. Nordling.
