YOUNG MEN ACTIVE WORKERS

Democratic Organization of First Voters Doing Good Work. As a rule, the young men of this country do not take as active interest in political affairs as their elders would like to see. But such cannot be said of the young Democrats of Jasper county. An organization of young Democrats has been formed in this county that is doing a work amid great drawbacks that is worthy of commendation. The officers of the new organization, appointed recently by County Chairman Welsh, are: Don Beam, president, and Vern Davisson, secretary. It is their intention to enlist every Democrat in the county under 25 years and it will be readily understood that most of these will be first voters. They are supplied wdth literature by the county central committee, and they in turn see that this reaches all within their classification. It is a difficult undertaking for two young men to get in touch with every Democrat in the county under 25 years of age, yet they are succeeding admirably. However, It will facilitate matters for them if every young man in the county within the above classification will write at once to either of the above officers, enclosing the names and addresses of all whom they know to be eligible. Within the next week it is proposed to appoint township officers in each township of the county, and these, under the direction of the county committee, will carry on the work of the organization to an effective end. It is a most worthy and commendable cause and should receive the support and enc< tfagement of all loyal Democrats*.
