NAME ON TICKET
Progressive County Committee
men Vote Elimination Res
oIution Down.

The elimination of the name
Roosevelt" from the Progressive
ticket at this years election was the
object of a resolution introduced last
night at the meeting of the Pro-
gressive County Committee. 1t was
voted down Singularly enough
similar resolution had been offered
yesterday at the special session of
the Legislature by Assemblyman HUI
bert ]. Rowe, of Essex, and referred
to the special committee on proce-
dure. 1t Is not expected that the bill
will come out of committee, how
ever.
Long Argument Ensues.
The resolution at the meeting of
the Progressive County Committee
was introduced bv George M. Denny,
of the Eighth ward, and would mean
that the candidates for the Assem-
bly, on the Progressive ticket this
year would have to be nominated by
petition and then run as Progressive
in the general election.
The resolution caused a lengthy
argument Elimination of the name
Roosevelt did not mean disloyalty to
the latter, it was argued by some,
while others were of the opinion that
1t would cause too much confusion
and terminate in the nomination of
dual set of candidates.
Francis d. Potter, State organizing
secretary stirred the members to ac-
ton on the filling of vacancies on the
list of candidates for office, especial
ly that of the assembly. He told how
South Jersey had been very active
and that petitions were almost ready
nothing on the all-important question
of the Assembly ticket.
With the view to having as many
candidates as possible on the Assem-
bly primary ticket, f. w. Trimpore,
of the Eleventh Ward, introduced a
resolution that the members of each
of the imaginary districts find out
which of the men want to run for
Assembly. The resolution was adopt
ed along with the decision to hold a
special meeting next Tuesday to hear
reports on the situation. 1t was stat
ed that the idea of this canvass was
not to put up a ticket, but to find out
who would be available and to sec
that the petitions were started, as
August 90 will be the last day for
filing them.
CoIby's Resignation Accepted.
The resignation of Everett Colby as
chairman of the executive committee |
was received by letter and accepted, |
with expressions of regret. Mr.. Colby |
stated that he did not feel justified |
to hold this office any longer, having
declared his candidacy for Governor.
A report, soothing at the idea of |
fusion, was made by Frank E. Dav-
export, reporting for the Sixteenth |
Ward, who said that the ward would |
put in O full ticket, with William An
dress for Alderman.
There is no thought of fusion or |
harmony in our ward" Mr.. Daven-
port said. Mr.. Davenport, it was
stated, will be candidate for Assem- |
bly,, though he himself was still some
what modest about it.
LEWIS IN FREEHoLDER RACE
Assemblyman Louis Lewis, of this
city, Is among the many aspirants |
for freeholder at the coming election |
1t is a pretty generally accepted fact
that of the three candidates for the
positton only one will come from this
city. The city of Orange will get
nominee and the other will come from
the townships, excluding Belleville,
which now has a representative on
the board. Mr.. Lewis said to re-
porter for the Evening Star: Il did
not seek the position, but several of
my friends asked me to make bid
for the nomination. You can just say
that I am in the hands of my friends"
