CLARENCE J. M’LEOD

Clarence J. .McLeod, a Detroit attorney, is believed to enjoy the distinction of being the youngest man ever elected to congress. He was elected from the Thirteenth Michigan district to fill a vacancy. He became 25 years old July 3 this year. In the primary election on August 31, or less than two months after he became eligible to seek congressional honors, he defeated three other Republicans for the short-term nomination to fill the vacancy created by the death of Representative Charles E. Nichols.
