for the state Endorsement convention
and groundwork was laid for this

The time for holding the conven-

dent Roosevelt, young Democratic
clubs, and the ex-Service men and
women's organizations.
Young Democrats perfected a per-
manent organization with over 200
young men and women attending. A
constitution was adopted and Donald
NJ Murtha, Dickinson, director Of the
temporary state organization, was
elected president. The Democratic
sx-service mems league meeting con-
sisted Of gathering Of members Of

pared plans for membership cam
