NJ. Youngblood is among the prominent of
the democratic side of the house. We have
heard number Of inquiries like the fol-
lowing, "Where is Youngblood3" since his
little speech on the use of the house by the

has clean cut views on matters of public |
policy, with independence and courage to
defend his views when advanced, or those
who meet his approval when uttered by
others. The democracy of this state have
reason to feel proud of Mr. Youngblood as
member of the organization, and with
such colleagues and Co workers as Harring-
ton, Murphy, Durfee, Day, Linegar and
others, who we will have occasion to refer
in the future, the public interests will be
well guarded.
