Leaders plan Mason County campaign for two major parties
Mason County Republicans organized for the campaign with a three assistant chairmen slate to run pre election activities. Democrats held a meeting in the state road commission garage and selected officials but no headquarters or campaign committee was named. Bartow Jones cited heavy housing and farming duties as reason he could not devote time to campaigning. He named Gerald F. Musgrave William H. Bardin and B Walter Krodel as assistant chairmen. A campaign advisory committee was also formed including Sheriff F B Lieving and others from Letart.
