WILL LAUNCHC LUbS
FOR ROOSEVELT
ON MONDAY
Propose to Make a Statewide
Movement For Colonel
Effective
LOCAL
TO HANDLE WORK
In That Manner More Thor
ough Campaign Will Be
Carried Out

a state wide movement for the or
ganization of local and county Roose-
welt clubs was launched today by the
state workers, and all meetings that
are held under the provisions Of the
call. will be held next Monday even
ing.
In every town, village and city it is
proposed that such meetings be called
by the local leaders in the Roosevelt
movement, and the purpose of the or
g%anization of such clubs will be the
furtherance of the Roosevelt cam
paign on a systematic and thorough
tasis.
Under the plan that has been pro-
posed by the state workers. there will
not be a district in the state that will
not have an active organization sup
porting the Roosevelt candidacy.
The fact that the Roosevelt cam
paign in the state was not formally
launched until such late date has,
in a measure. handicapped the work,
and il has made the completion of the
final details necessary within Il worry
short time.
To many of the local Roosevelt
workers in towns and cities of the
state. the call for the meetings which
1t is proposed shall be he'll dneXt Mon
day evening has been issued.
Out Of these meetings it is expected
that a working organization will be
created tina will amount to the sclcc-
ton of Roosevelt as HI states prefer
ence for the Republican presidential
nomination.
