PROCRESSIVES TO HAVE FULL
 CITY TICKET Bridgeport Branch To Have Representative
 at Newport Party Plans Big Outing Which May Develop into State
 Enterprise

The Progressive Party will name a full ticket from mayor to aldermen for the Municipal campaign this fall. This was decided at meeting of the Progressive Club held last night in the ing. Though it is rather early the Progressives have already begun to arrange for their fall campaign and the entertainment committee of the club is planning a big "get-together'' outing. In fact tentative plans for this outing had been made but the date was postponed because of the big New England Conference which is to be held at Newport, R. l., July and 5.
 At last nights meeting Horace H. Jackson. George B. Southworth, H. c. Freshour, George Peabody. D. R. Beebe, and H. B. Stoddard were named to represent the Bridgeport branch of the party at the Newport Conference. This coInrnitte is now arranging for transportation and ac- commodations to Newport. A num- Der of other members of the club be- sides the committee are planning to attend the conference.
 Just who will be the candidates of the party at the coming election has not been decided. As many of the political slates of other parties are in a measure framed at clam bakes so the slate of the Progressives will probably be made to take form at the big outing which is being planned, The town committee of the party has not yet picked a town chairman al- though it was expected that the selec- ton of the committee would be an noupced at the meeting last night The committee has several men in mind for the position.
 The reports of the secretary and treasurer read at the meeting last night show that all bills have beer
 treasury to form the nucleus of the campaign fund. The platform was also discussed at the meeting
 We intend to give our party a plat form this campaign that will conn mand the attention of all thinkins
 men," said a prominent member ot the club after the meeting.
 T remember years ago when the old Wheeler & Wilson band gave con- certs in Washington park men would start in the afternoon and bring dowr wooden horses. Then later on they
 would bring blanks to put on them Then bye and bye the band would come and by the aid of one flickerins gas light would give Q, concert to the citizens of Bridgeport
 That platform the band played or reminds me of the platforms of some or the poAt1caI parties The plankE | are all loose and they are made loose One can pull one out here and another
 out there, substitute something else i you like or leave the place empty and still the band goes right on play. l ing.
 When we offer our platform tn. blanks will be spiked down and thert
 will be no Hxiddo' business about it'' 1 A vote Of thanks was given Tn. l Farmer last night for the fair and i'm I partial manner in which the, doing
