Marron chaired, with O Q Stennes as president, L M Clayton vice president, Hugh N Ton secretary, and Fr E Robert treasurer. Speakers praised Young as a capable, square–shooting citizen, noting the need to distinguish him from Leonard C. Young on the ballot. Local and visiting supporters urged wider town participation and recruiting volunteers for outreach efforts. The club plans to enlist communities on this state end, and invites voters friendly to Young to join. Also, the local golf club invited members to play at Fairview on the 18th and Scobey on the 25th.
