UHL REFUSES G O P BOARD APPOINTMENT IN MARION CLUB
The Marion Club rejected Peace overtures from the Coffin organization. Albert Uhl declined a county advisory committee invitation from County Chairman Martin F. Hugg. A resolution attacked the reorganization convention as secret and invalid. It accused the county group of centralization and utility control, warning Uhl would clash with the organization if appointed. Senators Moorhead and Daily urged resignations to let voters choose new leaders, while a broad coalition pressed for anti Coffinism precinct committeemen. The club passed resolutions condemning Coffinism and started a recruitment drive with 750 members reported.
