With between 75 and 100 members the Brookford Democratic Club was organized last night with Mr. Tom Cloninger as president, Mr. G.C. Starnes as vice-president, and Mr. J.H. Jaimes as secretary. Mr. Robert Yount acted as chairman of the meeting.

A campaign committee consisting of Messrs. H.L. Jay, C.C. Hooker, Geo. C. Starnes, G.C. Stiles, J.C. Byers, Robert McBailey, C.S. Deaton, R.W. Pope, A.C. McFall, M.A. Hoover and A.A. Barger was appointed and all members, it was said, are enthusiastic.

Mr. J.L. Murphy of Hickory and others made short talks. Four years ago, Mr. Robert Yount said Democrats were scarce articles in Brookford, but now there are between 75 and 100 enthusiastic party men in the town.
